Actually about the Florida suspect. He was not D.B. Cooper after Fingerprint and DNA analysis.
Duane Weber
In July 2000, U.S. News & World Report ran an article about a widow in Pace, Florida named Jo Weber and her claim that her late husband, Duane L. Weber (born 1924 in Ohio), had told her "I'm Dan Cooper" before his death on March 28, 1995.[33] She became suspicious and began checking into his background. Weber had served in the Army during World War II and had later served time in a prison near the Portland airport. Weber recalled that her husband had once had a nightmare where he talked in his sleep about jumping from a plane and said something about leaving his fingerprints on the aft stairs.[41] Jo recalled that shortly before his death, Duane had revealed to her that an old knee injury of his had been incurred by "jumping out of a plane".[33]
Weber also recounts a 1979 vacation the couple took to Seattle, "a sentimental journey", Duane told Jo Weber, with a visit to the Columbia River.[33] She remembers how Duane walked down to the banks of the Columbia by himself just four months before the portion of Cooper's cash was found in the same area. Weber related that she had checked out a book on the Cooper case from the local library and saw notations in it that matched her husband's handwriting. She began corresponding with FBI Agent Ralph Himmelsbach, the chief investigator of the Cooper case. Initially, Himmelsbach had said Weber is one of the best suspects he had come across.[33]
The FBI compared Weber's prints with those processed from the hijacked plane, and found no matches.[41] In October 2007, the FBI stated that a partial DNA sample taken from the J.C. Penney department store brand tie that Cooper had left on the plane did not belong to Weber.[5]
