Who is hijacker D.B. Cooper?

D.B. Cooper
November 24, 1971, a man in his mid forties used the alias Dan Cooper, and boarded flight 305, a Boeing 727 at the Portland International Airport.
After take off, he notified a flight attendant that he had a bomb.
He showed her a case, with eight canisters and several wires in it.
The media accidentally dubbed him D.B. Cooper.
He managed to extort $200,000 in ransom in exchange for all the passengers on board.
He had the money delivered to the plane by the F.B.I. after landing in Seattle, Washington.
The plane took off, headed for New Mexico.
Before the plane arrived, Cooper parachuted out.


A team of cold-case investigators claim they’ve decoded a 1972 message by D.B. Cooper.
The letter was addressed to “The Portland Oregonian Newspaper.”
The investigators say that it contains a confession from Vietnam veteran Robert Rackstraw, long suspected of being the infamous skyjacker.
