re: New clues in D.B. Cooper case

What if he threw something out but his on the plane. Had a change of clothes and waited until it landed. Hung around and acted liked an investigator, then just walked away.

Never parachuted...

I have a problem believing he survived.

The chances of him surviving the jump were so slim. No sane person would jump into a storm like that, at that speed, and in pitch black. He also didn't have a viable reserve chute: it was sewn shut and was only for training. Add in the fact that some of the bills were found scattered about and I think Mr. Cooper died.

Then where did his dead corpse walk off to ??

Do you understand what the cliche 'a needle in the haystack' means?? This search is probably more difficult than that

Hey now!! Don't go comparing this small task to finding the clitoris.

There was nothing about that jump that made it a high risk.

Most experts think he didn't survive the jump but no body ever found so...

It's kind of odd, in a sad way, how people can't see the "never found" thing as supporting the likelihood of "didn't survive."

A President should pardon him so if he's still out there he can come forward.

This quote from the FBI says the exact opposite:

"We originally thought Cooper was an experienced jumper, perhaps even a paratrooper," said Special Agent Larry Carr, leader of the investigative team from 2006 until its dissolution in 2016. "We concluded after a few years this was simply not true. No experienced parachutist would have jumped in the pitch-black night, in the rain, with a 200-mile-an-hour wind in his face, wearing loafers and a trench coat. It was simply too risky. He also missed that his reserve 'chute was only for training, and had been sewn shut—something a skilled skydiver would have checked."[94] He also failed to bring or request a helmet,[113] chose to jump with the older and technically inferior of the two primary parachutes supplied to him,[49] and jumped into a -70 °F (-57 °C) wind chill without proper protection against the extreme cold.[114]
