DB Cooper-43186Help Us Find Skyjacker Who Escaped With $200,000 Cash
The FBI has asked ENQUIRER readers to help crack the mystery behind one of the great unsolved crimes of the past 25 years - who and where is skyjacker D.B. Cooper?
A man using that name hijacked a jetliner in 1971 and parachuted into the darkness over Oregon, carrying $200,000 in cash with him. No trace of him or the money has ever been found.
"Readers of The ENQUIRER could help us solve the mystery," said FBI Agent Ralph Him:nelshach, who has been working on the case since the hijacking. "Since we haven't found . him, the case is still open and we're stil looking."
SKYJACKER FBI artist's version of the mysterious D.B. Cooper.
Cooper - a tall, dark-complexioned man neatly dressed in a business suit, topcoat and brown oxfords ._ hijacked a Portland-to-Seattle jet on the eve- ning of Nov. 24, 1971.
He demanded that 10,000 $20-bills be delivered to him at Seattle along with four parachutes - or he would blow up the plane.
Airline officials complied with his demand. In return, Cooper allowed the 30 passengers and two of the three stewardesses to leave the plane. | cooper_d_b_part096.pdf#page=261 | cooper_d_b_part096.pdf |

Now lets go on the assumption that Cooper was very inteligent. Here is my Profile of his characteristicks.
Cooper worked either for an Airline, the military or for Boeing, He was very well aquainted with the 72g, He knew all the flight characteristics, that the rear door could be opened in flight, and how to do it. He also knew if his activities would affect the trim and how to compensate.

2. What was the position of the hijacker when last saw him as she left the rear of the airplane for the last time? What did the hijacker havo around his waist? Was the hijacker attempting to secure himself to the plane by using parachute cords in an attempt to prevent being pulled out of the airplane when opening the rear door? Did the hijacker express a fear to the stewardess that he would be pulled out of the door prematurely?
Experienced parachutiste have advised that attempts to hold the money without adequately securing it would probably not be sufficient. Attempts by unsub to secure himself to the plane prior to openine ght rear door of the aircraft would indicate a fear of being sucked out of the aircraft as the stewardess feared. | cooper_d_b_part074.pdf#page=256 | cooper_d_b_part074.pdf |

If it did have the same reaction, then we would have to search an area approximately 2& miles by 6 miles of virgin timber.
I told SAC HELD I thought it would be well if possible to have the same airplane used with the same crew but I did not see any reason for them to actually jump in the same area since it would be too dangerous and we may lose the jumper, but I did think it would be a good idea to simulate it in an area where the jumper could be recovered.
