DB Cooper Mystery Solved by Relative?

Just to refresh, a man going by the name of Dan Cooper (the “D.B.” Cooper moniker was born out of a media miscommunication) hijacked Northwest Orient flight 305 bound for Seattle. Once in flight he handed a note to flight attendant Florence Schaffner claiming to have a bomb. Cooper then demanded $200,000.00 in $20 notes and parachutes. He also instructed that a fuel truck be ready when they landed in Seattle.

Once his demands were met, he allowed the plane to land in an isolated part of the airport and in essence exchanged the 36 other passengers for the money and parachutes. While refueling he instructed the flight crew as to how he wanted them to fly the plane after take off. Once in the air the plane leveled off at 10,000 feet at a slow 100 knots. Cooper then herded everyone into the cockpit and instructed them to stay there. Moments later he opened the aft door and jumped out. It was later determined that he would have likely come down in the area of Mount St Helens a few miles southeast of Ariel Washington.

Over the years there have been numerous theories and leads regarding that famous Boeing 727 hijacking on Thanksgiving eve, 1971.

Some theories were very logical and I for one was convinced D.B. Cooper was in reality Korea and Viet Nam veteran William Pratt Gossett. Gossett was well trained to pull off such a caper and was always broke or in gambling trouble. His son Greg claims that Gossett showed him a large amount of money just before Christmas 1971.

I’m sure you all have been seeing little news bites over the past few days about the FBI getting a good lead and we’ve all been wondering about it. Seems the details were missing which is typical of FBI disclosure.

Then on Thursday the story broke and the cat was out of the box or bag or whatever. Apparently a relative of our mystery man has come forward to claim the D.B. Cooper is actually Lynn Doyle Cooper, her uncle.

Marla Wynn Cooper, 48, of Oklahoma City is so sure that D.B. is her uncle that she finally decided to go to authorities…..40 years later. Marla tells the FBI that uncle Lynn who liked to go by the name L.D. Cooper planned the hijacking with his brother Dewey at a family gathering at her grandmothers house in Oregon.

A woman claiming to be the niece of the mysterious skyjacker dubbed D.B. Cooper, who bailed out of a jetliner 40 years ago with $200,000 in ransom, says she recalls her uncle plotting the sensational caper at a family gathering in 1971.
