North Carolina evidence could finally unmask D.B. Cooper

[jeff of pa]

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. The FBI is examining a parachute rigging discovered in a barn in Craven County which could potentially identify Cooper.The case, the FBI's only unsolved air piracy incident, has intrigued the nation for over 50 years. Recent findings suggest that Cooper might have had ties to Eastern North Carolina, specifically pointing to a man named Richard Floyd McCoy Jr.

Here is my scenario of D.B.Cooper highjacking.
Prompted by NSA, CIA or FBI possibly to alert airports about security problems, or by financial gain by a floundering electronics corporation Litton Industries, the then CEO Roy Ash was D.B.Cooper.
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?

Well there is a couple issues I wish they could solve. This is one of them. Another is the ones who escaped from Alcatraz. I am also unsure bout the JFK assassination

Meh, Looks like they got some stuff right. That aint the parachute used in the Hijackings though.
Whatever, old news

There are still plenty of "things to be found" out there and Mysteries to be solved. You just dont know about them.
😁

Did they not find some of the money lost in that hijacking ?

 

[Gare]

I thought some young boy found a bunch of bills out on the bank of a creek bank ?

Yeah, That was in the Columbian River. McCoy through the money off an overpass above the River on his way back to Oregon. Most likely to try and "Throw" the authorities off his track. Looks like the move did'nt work, pretty sure the money wasn't found until years after his passing.
Goes to show you, dont throw your money away, if your in the clear. Pretty incredible a Big pack of bills could go undiscovered for that long. 🤔
