The Legend of DB Cooper and a new lead!

[Magneto]

I find the case of DB Cooper very interesting. There was a documentary I watched on tv earlier this year (History channel?) that pointed the finger at a person that died several years ago. The authorities are being very vague about the new lead and they seem to be downplaying it.

FBI: 'Credible Lead' Surfaces in D.B. Cooper Case - FoxNews.com

I was not aware a government agency could find a "credible" anything.

I saw that same show, and the evidence was certainly there to make this guy seem very likely. I too have found the DB Cooper story very fascinating.

Slow news day...Let's hype whatever we can!

even if they found him, and even if he was still alive, I would think the statute of limitations has long since elapsed.

Fox has hopelessly sensationalized the supposed "new lead" and has tried as much as possible to suggest that it is a lead on "Cooper" himself. However, Drudge had a report up earlier today that said there isn't much to the "lead" at all. It's supposedly just some piece of property that a man in WA state gave to the FBI that they believe identifies who "Cooper" is/was. The $20's that were found in 1980 by hikers seems to lend a lot of credence to the theory that "Cooper" died in his attempt to parachute from the plane. Experts have said both then and now that the probability of someone surviving such a jump, given that the plane's altitude, speed, and direction were all wrong for parachuting, was zero.

I also heard that the outside temperature would make it very hard to survive the jump.

Especially when you didn't pack the chute yourself!

And to think, it was D.B. Cooper who started the whole magnetic walk through thing, that has morphed into the unconstitutional monster it is today!
