The FBI is hot on the trail of D.B. Cooper, the mysterious heister who leapt from his looted airplane into myth. Nearly four decades since his disappearance, a “credible lead” has come in. From CNN:
It’s been nearly four decades since a man calling himself Dan Cooper jumped out the back of Northwest Orient Flight 305, somewhere between Seattle and Reno, Nevada, carrying a parachute and some $200,000 in pilfered money. It’s not known where Cooper landed, or if he even survived the jump. But the case lives on in infamy, what the FBI calls “one of the great unsolved mysteries” in the agency’s history.
