Well, that
wasn’t his name too! For more than four decades the specifics of the case of a witty
airborne felony and the daredevil escape have been revisited, pondered and reviewed
and still it remains an enigma.
In year
1971, D.B. Cooper skyjacked and threatened to blow up a plane, he went on to
extort 200,000 US dollars from the owner, Northwest Orient. He then jumped from
the airborne 727 aircraft with about 21 pounds of 20 dollar bills fastened to
his upper body.

Believe it
or not, Cooper was never to be seen again; not even his corpse. He was a wiz if
he lived to enjoy his ‘bounty’ and it was craze if he did not. Nobody knows his
real name, though despite his fame and recognition. His case remains open too. Even
Jack the Ripper did not pull such a stunt regardless of the fame he garnered
before Cooper.
Four decades
later, D.B. Cooper’s case remains open. Open to anyone with enough info to wrap
it up, but no one seems to unravel the riddle. He never hurt any innocent
witnesses, unlike most other western felons and majority of the ransom is yet to be recovered too. Not even the FBI has disentangled the puzzle and the case file
remains active 43 years on.
