I would like to think that D. B. Cooper is alive and well

[Lazlo in PA]

I think I saw something on TV about how people are pretty certain that they know who DB was and that he lived well after the heist.

D.B. Cooper remains a fascinating case. Partly because of the audacity of the crime but mostly because he was never caught, making it appear as if he got away with it. We'll probably never know. I always suspected that 'D.B. Cooper' was killed in the jump and his body never found but of course, one could just as easily conclude that no body means that he escaped, albeit losing a good portion of the stolen money, which was found. Whatever the truth, if he actually survived, 'D.B. Cooper' would probably be dead of natural causes or a very old man now. We'll get more books and articles and tons more speculation and alleged 'revelations' about the guy but as far as I can see, like Jimmy Hoffa who disappeared in 1975 and Judge Crater, who disappeared back in in 1930, the actual fate of the man forever known as 'D.B. Cooper' will probably never be learned - and that's O.K. with me. We need a little mystery in life.

Fred Astaire hijacked a plane ?

I never realized how really ballsy Cooper was 'til I read the full description. Brown shoes with a black suit?!?!?! Wow...I'd never try something that crazy!!!

A sort-of normal guy who just twisted off one day.

Get ready for more of that.

Brad Meltzer’s Decoded, History Channel, had a good investigation on ole DB. Pretty much sure they found him. The guy was Northwest employee and former paratrooper. Survived & led a nice life after his jump.

I'm D.B. Cooper!

The first skyjacker ever CAUGHT was Richard LaPoint, a few weeks after the D.B.Cooper incident. He was tried in Denver.

I know, because I got to be the courtroom artist.
My art school was contacted by a local TV station looking for a sketch artist. One of the station managers remembered me because I had babysat for his daughters a few times six years before and used to sketch their baby sleeping.

The trial only lasted for one day because LaPoint had a breakdown in his cell and couldn’t take it anymore so he pleaded guilty. I was so disappointed! But my sketches were on TV and I was thrilled.

I never knew what happened to him until now, looking him up on Google: http://extras.denverpost.com/news/news0121g.htm
