This case has always intrigued me
We’ll probably never know who he was. I’m fine with that.
Same!
Too many questions but no answers. Very intriguing story.
Thanks for the upload 😊
Hi maria!
@@bettyjames4155 hi Betty 😊
@@mariach46 Hiya, hope you're well.
Rainy dark day here x
@@janetcw9808 Hi Janet. Doing well thank you, hope you are too despite the weather. Heating is on, being warm is king 🤴. Enjoy your Sunday evening.
Another Great video!!!
Great film Luke thank you
I didn’t realize they have his dna - they could run it through a genealogy database!!!
Thanks for the comment, Ara! The trouble they have is that they aren't certain it is his DNA. I'm sure they ran it through the system, but likely found no match.
@@UNSOLVABLE ohhhh really good point
PAGING PARABON NANOLABS
They say they lost most of it( the FBI).
The most intriguing and fascinating case I've come across. To my knowledge he's looked upon as a legend by many. Now that the closest of suspects Robert Rackstraw is no longer alive, the case might be a mystery forever.
Agreed, time is definitly running out
This vid about db cooper is literally something i was seeking for a year ago I watched manny vids about him
Wow what a mystery
D.B. Cooper had such a generic look to him that he could have been anyone. Always enjoy your channel it really gets me thinking. Thanks!
I think he may have been ex-military.
Either he was not THAT clever in that a demand for randomly numbered, more useable old notes could have been made. Or, he intended/arranged(?) for some of the cash to eventually be found and identified as such? Perhaps surreptitiously pointing it out to the boy that found them? IE the thrill or 'cultic' (?) aspects of this was what motivated him?
Or perhaps it was a final goodbye/going out with a bang so to speak and he had no intention of spending the money?
Or, he did make it and the wad of cash that wasn't found in the 80s is merely his souvenir keepsake and eventual identifier on death? Which MIGHT indicate a reasonably wealthy person anyway?
Or someone who just wanted to deprive the US Federal Govt of cash as a grudge? Again somewhat naive if this was the case. They'd just print more!
Luv this channel
#prisonbreak
Thanks 4 another fantastic video narration as always fantastic love your channel stay safe x and I'll see you next week 😀
Thank you Luke for this great account delivery. Your narration always spotless, and brilliant!
😊 Thanks again Elke!
@@UNSOLVABLE No mention! Thank you!
My mom made a joke about D.B. Cooper the other day and we had an interesting conversation about what it was like when this happened. It was only 4 years before I came into the world, so it was quite vividly in my mother’s mind. I was surprised she knew about it, as she doesn’t have time for true crime...then I remembered the year it occurred.
I do indeed feel that this person was ex Air force due his knowledge, but as I am not a sleuth 🕵️, I can't fathom it.
Thanks for this cade, brilliant narration, as ever.
Good wishes to you all on Remembrance Day.
Blessed Be Xxx 🙏🏼 ❤️ 🍀 🗺️
*case.
Never heard the Canadian aspect before.
Never knew about the 'Dan Cooper' comic! You learn something new every day. 😁
Same its kinda cool tho, that dude was pritty smart too lol😄 I mean dude got away with it.
Every day is a school day 😉
One of my favorite mysteries. You did a great job with it!
Personally, I don't feel the cash that was found, was lost on his way down out of the plane. He probably headed for the river after landing, possibly because he had a boat stashed there somewhere. It was probably $6k originally, 3 bundles of 20s @ $2k per bundle. Could have fallen out of the bag when he was trying to deal with the parachute.
Anyway, I don't think he met his end when he jumped. I hope someday they put his DNA into GED Match & find out who he was.
I think he made it too. Although I'm not sure if he managed to keep hold of the cash or spend it. I don't believe any of the notes ever made it back into circulation
@@UNSOLVABLE That's a good point. You would think that, by now, some would have been found. Although the record keeping and tracing system was archaic at the time compared to now, I am sure someone has entered all the pertinent data to allow tracking to happen. Only way this would not happen is if the notes were all kept in public circulation and never deposited into a bank.
@@UNSOLVABLE just got finished with your videos. More, please :-)
I love this case. Leaves me intrigued and wondering.
✨
I've been looking forward to your story all week . Great work!
He certainly knew what he was doing...this vid has new details...THX👍👍👍🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩
I never heard this such extraordinary story and i thank you for.sharing it with us. Maybe it's not politically correct, but i hope this man enjoyed that money and now, in his nineties, he still smiles rethinking of what he has done.😂
If they truly have his DNA, I wonder if they'll use the new technology to trace his family.
Thank you
That presumes that someone related to him (closely or distantly) has already submitted their DNA to the database. There is not, so far as I am aware, mandatory collection of genetic information from the general population.
@@williamharris8367 I understand your thinking but many people have already used genetic databases like Ancestry. They can also do a kind of 'photo' from certain genetic markers. It has been used to solve other cases (I'm probably not 100% accurate - sorry)
Look it up, it's very interesting.
The trouble they have is that there are some doubts that the tie was in fact Cooper's.
@@UNSOLVABLE Ya, that's why I said "truly" !
If they tried to 'type' it - who knows ??
Anyway, have a lovely weekend.
He must have had a real grudge against Northwest.
I think I heard about the emergency exit stair card from the plane being found in the woods at some point. Does anyone know if that was this case or not?
Excellent telling of the tale, you included some details I didn’t know.
A card was found in the woods by a hunter, not the plane.
Awesome Video and Work❤Thanks So Much. I was Luved this Mystery. I'm hoping that he got away to a different country and spent the rest of the money.
You're most welcome! 😊 Ha- Cooper really did become a bit of a cult hero, especially in the town of Ariel, Washington, where the FBI expected he had landed. Would have definitly been a bit of excitement in the town.
The world may never know!
I read about this case years ago, but you have details I've never heard. Did he get to keep the found money ?
From what I remember learning as a child some of the money was found in either I believe Oregon or Washington by a child, I believe by a stream or somewhere in the woods and they traced the serial numbers back to the stolen money but they never found the rest in circulation as far as I know, meeting here never use the money or he never made it out alive (or so goes the theory for everyone growing up in Oregon)
@@ladyred5468 that's pretty much what the video says, I was wondering if the child who found the money got to keep some. Just wondering what the law is on found money.
@@nicoleperron3315 Sorry yes I am from what I do know the kid did get to keep half of the money I’m not exactly sure why he didn’t get to keep the full amount after they were done processing it and using it as evidence (Looking for fingerprints, DNA and such)
Yes, I belive he got to keep what was found, once the FBI was done documenting the discovery. The money wasn't usable since it was deteriated. Although, it was still probably quite valuable at auction since the Cooper case became infamous.
@@ladyred5468 might it have something to do with treasure hunting laws? Here in the UK half of the discovery goes to the treasure hunter, while the other half goes to the land owner.
Hi Luke. I was listening to Kirby Sommers on Professor Hamamoto and she revealed the person DB Cooper. She said she can’t reveal who told her but he was identified as CIA William Colby. Wishing you all the best.
The sketch looks absolutely identical to William J. Smith. The eyes alone are bang on exact. If you look at Smith all you can see is the DB Cooper sketch.
Can't help but admire a guy that put on one of the greatest mysteries of the modern age. No doubt he single handedly perpetuated the need for a few newly developed modern investigation techniques over the years that are now staples in FBI investigation process.
Saw the film... he was very daring... it does seem a shame that all that money was possible swallowed by a whale!
Well told... many thanks 😘
It has always been easy to launder money in most countries. If he survived, the cash was laundered.
Why can't they do DNA on the cigarette butts and determine his relatives?
I'm so glad we have good security today. I know sometimes it can be a pain but listening to this it makes me value it more.
It is crazy to think what airport security used to be like
