There wasn't even security back then and it's like 99.95% chance he died on the jump. People think finding a body in the woods is easy, it's not. Police look for bodies all the time and don't find a body until they've searched an area like 8 times.. and forensics shows it was there the whole time. Most likely thing is his body has been out there rotting away since day 1.

    He 100% did not survive the jump. He left the plane in the middle of a storm and would have been traveling at 200mph when temperatures outside would have been have -76 degrees Fahrenheit. He was wearing nothing but a business suit. Clouds would have prevented him from even seeing when to open the parachute. The parachute he left was uncontrollable so he wouldn’t be able to steer out the way from any obstacles. Even if by some absolute miracle he survived the jump and made it to the ground he would be stranded in the middle of the wilderness while dealing with hypothermia with no supplies. His body was never found because the wilderness is a big place.

    At least nobody got physically injured unless Cooper himself was injured in the jump. Sorry for Ms. Muclowe’s emotional trauma. But even if Cooper didn’t actually survive, his plan was sheer genius and he was ready to face Death anyway. That’s why he kept one hand on the dynamite trigger at all times. Even James Bond agent 007 couldn’t have been more daring.

    I read a book from the 1980’s by Max Gunther titled “DB Cooper, What Really Happened.” It was about a man, then a woman 10 years later who contacted the author explaining what happened, why he did it, and what he did after. It was ignored as a hoax, but a few facts not known at the time by the public were revealed later by sleuths. One of the facts was revealed recently by the FBI through the freedom of information act. It was very believable and I think this person really was Cooper and his girlfriend. It was largely dismissed by Cooper fanatics because of small things in the book like the color or the parachute were wrong. Really, they were small facts easily explained by normal human memory changing things over time. Gunther was a well respected author who mostly wrote about financial matters and the previous year had a bestseller discussing investing techniques. The book never revealed their names, just their story. The main problem with McCoy is that both airline attendants said he wasn’t Cooper. One sat next to him for a few hours and McCoy committed the crime not too long after the Cooper hijacking. They were both adamant. McCoy wasn’t Cooper.

Even the pilot called air traffic control saying he thought the plane was about to be hijacked. The pilot had the plane diverted because of his concern. When McCoy noticed the plane was being diverted, he then proceeded with his crime. He used a gun threatening everyone on board. On the other hand, Cooper was pretty calm and collected. The other passengers had no idea they plane was being hijacked until the FBI met them at the airport after departing the plane.

The man who UFC fighter Chael Sonnen claims is D.B cooper died 2 years ago in Arizona I believe. Now he didn't provide any proof for these statements and it could absolutely be false but it's just interesting.

This is all documented and corroborated. His voice is recorded in national archives ... plenty of photos - wonder if stewardess ever saw his photo or heard his voice . He was a gentleman despite his military background . Also smoked and enjoyed a drink , also lived in Germany where Dan Cooper comic was popular . Just his military background is movie plot worthy - top secret stuff like a mission of Rambos . Received very rare and prestigious military awards . Research it . Nobody has ever brought him up in hundreds of videos and documentaries. Whoever did it would have never let it be known and took it to grave .
