A little over $1.5 million, using the inflation calculator.

He seemed to be a very clever man.

He may have intentionally left that money, around $5,800, in the stream to throw off the LEOs.............

Wiki:

Hair samples

FBI agents found two hair samples in Cooper’s seat: a single strand of limb hair on the seat, and a single strand of brown Caucasian head hair on the headrest.[143] The limb hair was destroyed after the FBI Crime Laboratory determined the sample lacked enough unique microscopic characteristics to be useful.[144] However, the FBI Crime Laboratory determined the head hair was suitable for future comparison, and preserved the hair on a microscope slide.[145] During their attempts to build Cooper’s DNA profile in 2002, the FBI discovered the hair sample had been lost.[146]

Agreed. The different sources would be interesting, and potentially very long.

The FBI found two hairs on his seat, but they could have been anybody’s from previous flights.

They have been lost over time................

I hope you remembered to take the deduction on your income tax.

““Headquartered in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, a significant subcontractor all throughout the 1960s, it supplied the lion’s share of titanium and stainless steel for Boeing’s aircraft,” Ulis said of the metal-fabric shop.”

Note that this was a union shop, which is why it no longer exists.

What? You mean that finding a particle of metal such as was used to make Boeing aircraft, aboard a Boeing aircraft, isn’t a unique identifier of the skyjacker? I’m crushed. I thought the mystery was solved after all these years.

They are crooks that need be dealt with harshly.

That is so 1990s thinking. Come on into the 21st century:-).

Well you live in this so called modern era. That is what is wrong with this stupid nation and why it has fallen into the toilet. Back then, things got done and wrong was punished. So you love yours and I will love mine.

boarding the flight without offering up identification due to a lack of regulations at the time.

Because it wasn’t normal for the government to request “Papers, please” when traveling within our own country, you fascist.

agree-click bait-even if the tie has a particle on it, it does not mean that the person wearing it was at the site-particles can be transmitted by someone touching you or bumping into you
