What exactly was the point of this rather long article. It didn't reveal any of the methods used... Hmm.

They apparently focused in on certain phrases out of a letter sent to a newspaper -- which they don't know if DB Cooper sent or not -- to "decode" them as things a 1969 Vietnam Army veteran would use.

Pretty flimsy evidence. As if nobody else would ever use those phrases.

But he was a super CIA asset maybe he was the first one in while it was still an advisory role he could have invented the phrases and popularized it with the assurance of his agency buddies. Eyes can’t roll far enough... That’s not flimsy it’s gasuous!

I wonder how much tax money has been spent to investigate this guy who stole $200k.

A lot but DB did Hijack a passenger aircraft which is a pretty big social faux pas and that was 200k back in 1971 which is roughly equivalent to $1.2mil so it’s not a small chunk of change.
