Reasonable hypothesis regarding the money and the diversion: Coop jumped from aircraft with money. Took money to Mexico, laundered money. Don’t forget his olive skin tone! Did he get a tan like that in the pacific northwest? Furthermore, jumping up north diverts the search to the northern US, while the actual trajectory is south.
Hi Ned, I think it’s VERY reasonable to assume the money was laundered in Mexico where it would: 1. NEVER be noticed by a Mexican cashier 2. Very likely never re-enter US circulation. US currency doesn’t cross south to north. It goes north to south, where it’s worth more and supports the Mexican economy.
One of those questions where we’d like to know the answer, but as time goes on it seems less and less likely we’ll get a solid answer. I hope we do as if we are able find out where the money went, we may discover who D.B. Cooper is or at least get closer to finding him. Thank you for the video Ned, I hope you’re doing well, keep up the great work and have a great day. Take care!
Only part way through the video. Enjoyable so far. I have long thought something went wrong with the jump, either Cooper lost the money in the jump or died. But something did not go to plan. Money serial numbers were only checked at the treasury or something like that. It wasn't checked regularly at normal banks. Yet not one note was ever discovered other than at Tina bar. Dollars spent abroad have a tendency to find their way back into the US eventually. If it's spent abroad it doesn't necessarily stay abroad.
My thought on the dB Cooper missing money is that it was stashed in the plane. He threw a few handfuls of it out just to take people off of his trail, but that money was stashed on the plane, and he was able to recover it. After the heist. I believe he was an airplane mechanic
The plane was ransacked thoroughly and searched by the FBI *long* before a mechanic would have been able to access it post-hijacking. It would have been found.
McCoy hypothesis is irrational. I highly doubt a man as smart, calculating and organized would have repeated the same type of offense, even if he had lost the money. He would have dreamed up an entirely new scheme.
umm not trying to be difficult but the first a in Nevada is pronounced like the the letter a in the word "rad". your pronunciation of Oregon is spot on though....
Like I said, I believe the money was stashed in the plane so he could recover it in the future because I think he was an airplane mechanic and I think he spent the money out of the country
I buried the money at Tena bar. Somehow, my grandfather had it. My parents split up for a while and my mother took us back up to Portland. I got pawned off to my grandfather for a week. We talked about my parents and after that my grandfather took me camping at a campsite he owned at Lake Merwin. When we were driving back to Portland, grandpa diverted and said we were going to stop to eat lunch. We stopped at a place by the river. Grandpa said Portland was just on the other side of the river. He told me to find a spot to dig a hole like for a campfire. I found dry a spot next to log and he told me to start digging. When I finished, he came from the car with an army green canvas bag. He showed me bundle of cash wrapped in plastic wrap and told me to touch it. I touched it once, and then he told me to touch it more. After that, he had me turn around. I heard the thud of things hitting the ground. When he said I could turn back around, I saw three bundles of cash in the hole. He told me to fill the hole back in. Then we got in the car and drove away.
D B Cooper's 💰 Most of the serial numbers of $20 bills started with an 'L' (nearly 87%), which means it originated with the San Francisco Federal Reserve branch Most were from either the 1963A or 1969 series. Nearly all of the serial numbers ended with an A, B, or a star.

Hello Ned. Which case do you think will be solved first: Zodiac or DB Cooper?
@@HameedKWT965 Hi. Thanks for the comment. I think D.B. Cooper will be solved first.

Dan Cooper is the name of a air adventures character from comics, circa 60's-70's. Has anyone mentioned that?
umm not trying to be difficult but the first a in Nevada is pronounced like the the letter a in the word "rad". your pronunciation of Oregon is spot on though....
Is it true that Dan Gryder is a convicted felon?
