Newly Released FBI Files Shed Light on Infamous ‘D.B. Cooper’ Case

The FBI released hundreds of documents relating to the infamous 1971 hijacker of a jet, “DB Cooper.”

His true identity is still a mystery. The FBI files give a history of the investigation but don’t reveal the identity of the hijacker.

The FBI archives describe the intense search for the hijacker, who jumped from a Boeing plane on November 24, 1971, with a parachute after receiving a ransom of $200,000 reported. He was never caught or positively identified.

The hijacker’s name was “Dan Cooper.” This became “DB Cooper” and has remained that way ever since.

Popular Mechanics, which has been following the case, reported that the FBI’s new release of files contains information about a list of potential suspects interviewed by investigators. All dead ends.

The PM stated that the FBI closed its failed investigation in 2016, but private investigators continued to search.

A parachute that was claimed to be the one used by “Cooper”, but not directly related to the case, has been discovered.
