Apr 12, 2025The mystery of D.B. Cooper, the infamous hijacker who vanished with $200,000 after leaping from a plane in 1971, may be closer to being solved.

Recent findings suggest that Cooper might have had ties to Eastern North Carolina, specifically pointing to a man named Richard Floyd McCoy Jr.

Roy Ash, an Army Air Corps veteran from WW2, buys a plane ticket underneath the name of a cartoon character D.B.Cooper. He highjacks the plane with a fake bomb. He chose the Army parachute since he was well familiar with it. He opened the back cargo door which was how old Army was trained to jump from. He threw out the bag of money and all other...

🤣 looks like it
He was pretty smart, the way he planned the Hijaking and Skydive.
Apparently it might of been some sort of protest crime. Pretty sure he and coworkers had gotten screwed over by the airlines in some way. Apparently he did it partly in retaliation. Probably the reason the FBI never brings the subject up.
It doesn't look good when you are known for wasting a Robinhood type Cult hero.
It is what it is.
He probably did pull a gun on those FBI guys.
Dunno?
