Latest theory: D.B. Cooper was college professor

www.2news.tv

OGDEN, Utah (AP) - An attorney who is writing a book about the D.B. Cooper investigation claims the legendary hijacker who vanished from the back of a passenger jet with $200,000 in ransom in 1971 survived and returned to his life as a college instructor in Ogden.

Federal investigators are aware of the claim and are treating it like more than 1,000 other leads they have checked out over the last 36 1/2 years. They're skeptical that the late William "Wolfgang" Gossett pulled off the heist many others have claimed to but were found to be hoaxes.

The hunt for DB Cooper is still a big topic here in the Pacific Northwest. It seems like every time someone's name pops up as a possible Cooper, the FBI shrugs it off, often without even doing anything whatsoever to investigate the possibillity. It's often made me wonder if the FBI knows exactly where Cooper ended up or what happened to him and have, for some reason, chosen to just let the issue remain a mystery.

At this point I don't see what the big deal is, he beat em, it's time to move on.

I'm sure after he dies someone who knows him will come forward, if there is a financial benefit to doing so.

If they want him now they'd have to offer a cash award multiple times of what he originally took, for 20 million I'd tell them who he is.

I live in Idaho now and a long time ago while working with the Feds. on a BLM project, a guy told an interesting story.
He said that D.B. did make it to the ground but broke a leg. He then stated that a 'mountain man' type found him and killed him and took the money and buried the body. It is also rumored that some of the bills were used in Orting, Wa. and a few other little towns. Any thoughts.

I've never heard that theory, actually. The most interesting theory I've heard surrounds the finding of a bag of money by some kids along the Columbia river almost 30 years ago. That money was supposedly verified as being from the case, but the condition of the money and the way it was found apparently weren't consistant with it having been in the river for 9 years. Then a woman in Florida claimed that she and her husband had visited Seattle a year or so later and he had taken a drive to that exact same spot along the Columbia river and had been searching for something... he later confessed to her on his deathbed that his real name was "Dan Cooper."

It's definitely an amazing case and part of me kinda hopes it's never solved just because of how interesting it is to speculate on.

I think he get away with it alive. His body or remains of it would have been found, sooner or later, in 40 years.
