New FBI agent takes over hunt for missing 1971 hijacker, cash (D. B. Cooper)

Source: Washington Times

The FBI does not think notorious hijacker D.B. Cooper survived his parachute jump from a commandeered jetliner over the Pacific Northwest with $200,000 in cash, but the newest agent to head the 36-year-old case would like to know for sure.

"Diving into the wilderness without a plan, without the right equipment, in such terrible conditions, he probably never even got his chute open," says agent Larry Carr in Seattle, echoing a long line of both professional and amateur sleuths who have been captivated by the much-publicized stunt since November 1971.

Mr. Carr and the FBI are not yet ready to give up the hunt for the elusive thief who called himself both Dan Cooper and D.B. Cooper and, once again, are asking the public for help in the agency's "Norjak" investigation.

"Who was Cooper? Did he survive the jump? And what happened to the loot, only a small part of which has ever surfaced? It's a mystery, frankly. We've run down thousands of leads and considered all sorts of scenarios. Would we still like to get our man? Absolutely ... and you can help."

:eyes: waste of taxpayer $$$

Glad the FBI is keeping us safe.

There is no good reason to task a single agent or spend one more dollar on this footnote of history.

Oh, :hi: Agent Mike!

Perhaps no disappearance in American history has created as much speculation as that of New York Supreme Court associate justice Joseph F. Crater. For many years, he was known simply as “the most missingest man in New York”. He was last seen on the evening of August 6, 1930, walking out of a New York restaurant. Crater was a tall, heavyset man and an avowed clothes horse. He was especially dapper that evening as he stepped out of the restaurant, waved goodbye to a couple of friends and then climbed into a taxicab. His friends would remember his double-breasted brown suit, gray spats and high collar for it was the last suit they ever saw him wear. After that final glimpse, Crater was never seen again. But how was it possible for a man as powerful and prominent as a Supreme Court judge to disappear forever?

...don't forget the pie. Also don't forget the midget and the tall man. And the crazy guy. And the girl with the twin peaks.

they have the BEST huckleberry pie in the area. You must try a piece.

...to find the Anthrax Killer (Bush and Cheney) also?

the man who did it would be well over seventy. It's certainly possible he's dead now regardless of whether that chute opened. Aren't there any sleeper cells, paramilitaries, gun runners, or mail fraudsters that need busting in the meantime?

their priorities. Or don't they think RNC shills should go on trial for murder?
