There wasn't even security back then and it's like 99.95% chance he died on the jump. People think finding a body in the woods is easy, it's not. Police look for bodies all the time and don't find a body until they've searched an area like 8 times.. and forensics shows it was there the whole time. Most likely thing is his body has been out there rotting away since day 1.

      He 100% did not survive the jump. He left the plane in the middle of a storm and would have been traveling at 200mph when temperatures outside would have been have -76 degrees Fahrenheit. He was wearing nothing but a business suit. Clouds would have prevented him from even seeing when to open the parachute. The parachute he left was uncontrollable so he wouldn’t be able to steer out the way from any obstacles. Even if by some absolute miracle he survived the jump and made it to the ground he would be stranded in the middle of the wilderness while dealing with hypothermia with no supplies. His body was never found because the wilderness is a big place.

    I seen a story about a UFC fighter, who wrote a biography a few years ago and in it he claimed he knew who D.B cooper was, he made a video about it a while later talking about how he was contacted by an older guy who claimed he was a retired federal agent but that there is nobody working the D.B cooper case in 2022 as him and two other men were the last agents to work the case and that he was retired and that this is why there's no new information on D.B cooper even though theres a lot of documentaries about him in the last few years which don't feature any new info.
    The man who UFC fighter Chael Sonnen claims is D.B cooper died 2 years ago in Arizona I believe. Now he didn't provide any proof for these statements and it could absolutely be false but it's just interesting.

    I read a book from the 1980’s by Max Gunther titled “DB Cooper, What Really Happened.” It was about a man, then a woman 10 years later who contacted the author explaining what happened, why he did it, and what he did after. It was ignored as a hoax, but a few facts not known at the time by the public were revealed later by sleuths. One of the facts was revealed recently by the FBI through the freedom of information act. It was very believable and I think this person really was Cooper and his girlfriend. It was largely dismissed by Cooper fanatics because of small things in the book like the color or the parachute were wrong. Really, they were small facts easily explained by normal human memory changing things over time. Gunther was a well respected author who mostly wrote about financial matters and the previous year had a bestseller discussing investing techniques. The book never revealed their names, just their story. The main problem with McCoy is that both airline attendants said he wasn’t Cooper. One sat next to him for a few hours and McCoy committed the crime not too long after the Cooper hijacking. They were both adamant. McCoy wasn’t Cooper.

      @@Sassyglbeauty anything is in the realm of possibility…but McCoy had bad makeup and sweating profusely when he hijacked the plane. He was acting very odd and fidgety. Everyone noticed this. Even the pilot called air traffic control saying he thought the plane was about to be hijacked. The pilot had the plane diverted because of his concern. When McCoy noticed the plane was being diverted, he then proceeded with his crime. He used a gun threatening everyone on board.
      On the other hand, Cooper was pretty calm and collected. The other passengers had no idea they plane was being hijacked until the FBI met them at the airport after departing the plane.

This is all documented and corroborated. His voice is recorded in national archives ... plenty of photos - wonder if stewardess ever saw his photo or heard his voice . He was a gentleman despite his military background . Also smoked and enjoyed a drink , also lived in Germany where Dan Cooper comic was popular . Just his military background is movie plot worthy - top secret stuff like a mission of Rambos . Received very rare and prestigious military awards . Research it . Nobody has ever brought him up in hundreds of videos and documentaries. Whoever did it would have never let it be known and took it to grave .

    This was an inside job - 100%. One of the crew members were involved. When all of the original people got off at the first stop, so did the hijacker. The staff member tossed the money out around the drop location and they had a team waiting for it. When the plane took off again, no hijacker was there. The reason he was worried about the speed and height / pitch is only because of their estimations of where the money was landing, not because anyone was jumping. I think that one girl was in on it.
