Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 24th, 1971, a man calling himself Dan Cooper hijacked an airliner, demanded $200,000 in cash, and bailed out somewhere over the Pacific Northwest. For the next forty-six years the FBI spun a fairy tale that Cooper was a common criminal who died in the jump, yet he managed to take thirty-six passengers hostage without their knowing it, leave no fingerprints behind that led back to him, and elude state, local, and federal law authorities. Cooper was not a common criminal. He had CIA and military training, as well as experience performing covert operations. He survived the jump. He made off with the money. He threatened the key witnesses. And he lived to be an old man. Now, over a decade since his death, the truth can finally be told.

Book excerpt: In 1971, a man known as DB Cooper hijacked a Northwest Orient airliner flying from Portland, Oregon to Seattle, Washington. After exchanging the passengers at SEA-TAC airport for $200,000 and four parachutes, Cooper instructed the pilots to fly him to "anywhere in Mexico." A few minutes after take-off, he lowered the aft staircase and jumped into the chilly, rainy night skies north of Portland. He has never been seen since, and his identity is still unknown. After forty years of investigation the FBI still doesn't know who Cooper was or if he survived, and nothing has ever been found of the skyjacking-no parachutes, no body or clothes, nor any of the money, except for $5,800 a young boy found eight years later buried on a Columbia River beach. Adding to the intrigue, no one knows how the money got there or when. As a result, it is as if Cooper came from nowhere and returned there when he made his getaway. Now after years of research and writing, a comprehensive case history of the skyjacking is available, and the reader can examine the facts of the case, and assess the FBI's efforts to find DB Cooper. Shockingly, the Bureau's investigation has been crippled by lost evidence, inaccurate record-keeping, and ineffective leadership. As we learned in 9-11, the FBI has difficulty "connecting the dots" in complicated investigations that span multiple jurisdictions, and the same is true with DB Cooper. For example: the FBI gave DB Cooper a 40-hour head start before anyone went looking for him in the woods of southeast Washington State. More troubling, critical evidence has been lost-the eight cigarette butts Cooper left on the plane, which would give us his DNA profile via the dried saliva. Perhaps more disturbing, though, the cigarette butts went missing after their true value was realized in 2002, along with the documentation on the FBI's findings. In addition, the FBI's chief technical expert, Earl Cossey, was murdered in 2013 when his credibility plummeted as Internet sleuths revealed his fraudulent and deceptive history, and how the FBI was duped. Or was it? But this book is more than a true-crime thriller. "DB Cooper and the FBI" reveals how law enforcement truly functions in our country, and so it delivers a measure of justice to the arrogant, the hubristic, and the guilty.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The true, unsolved story of D. B. Cooper’s 1971 airplane hijacking, one of the greatest cold cases of the twentieth century, by an author featured in D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?!, now streaming on Netflix “Here is writing and storytelling that is vivid and fresh—a delectable adventure.”—Gay Talese “I have a bomb here and I would like you to sit by me.” That was the note handed to flight attendant Florence Schaffner by a mild-mannered passenger now known as D. B. Cooper on a Northwest Orient flight in 1971. It was also the start of one of the most astonishing aviation whodunits in the history of American true crime: how one man extorted $200,000 from an airline before parachuting into the wilds of the Pacific Northwest, never to be seen again. The case of D. B. Cooper is a modern legend that has obsessed and cursed his pursuers for generations with everything from bankruptcy to suicidal despair. Now, with Skyjack, Geoffrey Gray obtains a first-ever look at the FBI’s confidential Cooper file, uncovering new leads in the infamous case. Starting with a crack tip from a private investigator, Gray plunges into the murky depths of the decades-old mystery to chase down new clues and explore secrets of the case’s most prominent suspects, including Ralph Himmelsbach, the most dogged of FBI agents, who watched with horror as a criminal became a counter-culture folk hero; Karl Fleming, a respected reporter whose career was destroyed by a D. B. Cooper scoop that was a scam; and Barbara Dayton, a transgender pilot who insisted she was Cooper herself. With explosive new information, Skyjack reopens one of the great cold cases of the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: "Upon retiring from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the author returned to Nevada. Less than a year after retiring, he was challenged by local retirees to solve the DB Cooper skyjacking. Somewhat reluctantly, he looked into the legend of the infamous, unsolved criminal hijacking of a commercial airliner. The author draws from his life's experiences, to include serving 24 years as an FBI Special Agent and especially as a former US Army paratrooper. His search clearly and plausibly convinces the reader that DB Cooper executed the skyjacking, not as a criminal act but as a military operation. The author's use of a military operation plan (OPLAN), provides the break needed to fit the pieces of the DB Cooper legend together. The OPLAN served as the template for his new theory, which itself served as the roadmap in locating DB Cooper. Follow his steps as he finally completes this jigsaw puzzle of a crime after 50 years of effort by law enforcement authorities. This investigation takes unexpected and intriguing twists and truns that will certainly catch the reader by surprise. When DB Cooper is finally 'unmasked,' his identity will be a shock to everyone."--back cover.

Book excerpt: The mystery of D. B. Cooper ranks up there with mysteries such as the Loch Ness Monster or the sleeping fits of Kalachi village, and refers to an incident on the twenty fourth of November of 1971, where a man operating under the alias Dan Cooper hijacked a Boeing 727 plane midflight, halfway between Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington. His intent was to demand two hundred thousand dollars in ransom for the safe return of the passengers. Such a vast sum, equivalent to over a million in today's money, was eventually extorted and collected. After collecting the money, Dan Cooper parachuted and vanished. Not a single passenger or member of crew was injured in any way. The plane itself was intact. The money, and the hijacker, seemed to have disappeared into thin air. A manhunt began immediately in the area where Dan Cooper had descended, the Federal Bureau of Investigation opened their own case file and the media leapt onto the story like vultures. However despite constant searches, neither man nor money emerged.

Book excerpt: It's been more than four decades since a man known as D. B. Cooper hijacked a Boeing 727 on a 36-minute flight from Portland, Oregon to Seattle, Washington. After receiving $200,000 in ransom and four parachutes, he released the passengers and the aircraft set course for Reno, Nevada. Somewhere over southwestern Washington, Cooper jumped from the jetliner, never to be seen or heard from again. It is America's only unsolved hijacking, and it has caused nothing but frustration for the FBI. In July of 2016, after exhausting millions of dollars and countless man-hours, the case of D. B. Cooper has been officially closed.But has the FBI done its job properly? Is D. B. Cooper truly a "sleazy rotten criminal"? Is he uneducated and suffer from A. D. D. as the FBI postulates? Do we really believe he acted on impulse, and dove into the murky skies without a plan? Can we be convinced that his motive was money, when he openly confessed to one of the stewardesses that he had a grudge? This story flies in the face of the FBI and challenges the status quo.Recent analysis by the Citizen Sleuths, examining the metal particles in Cooper's clip-on tie via an electron microscope, has revealed the D. B. Cooper was likely an engineer employed in a metals working facility! So much for the "uneducated theories" and Cooper's inability to plan ahead. If you consider D. B. Cooper as an engineer who also likely has a pilot's license, it is easy to understand that the FBI has totally underestimated their man!By examining this case from a different perspective, one where D. B. Cooper is a highly intelligent man who meticulously plans this hijacking, a man who is driven by revenge and not money, we realize that he survived the perilous jump from a jet aircraft, escaped with the money, and left almost no evidence behind for the investigators. With this new revelation, all the "mysteries" of the D. B. Cooper case are resolved, with the exception of two; who is D. B. Cooper and where is he now?This book reveals the ingenious plan of D. B. Cooper, and sets the stage for the next chapter, finding D. B. Cooper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "D. B. Cooper" case is the only unsolved act of air piracy in US history. On November 24, 1971, a polite, nondescript, and dark-complexioned man calling himself "Dan Cooper" hijacked Northwest Airlines Flight 305, Boeing 727, between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington. At Seattle International Airport, he demanded and received $200,000 and four parachutes, released the passengers, and ordered the crew to take him to Mexico. Somewhere along the way, he jumped. He was never found or identified. Forty-five years later, the FBI gave up the hunt. This book looks at the case from the perspective of a mathematician and pilot. It uses previously unexamined data and original-source documents, combined with the tools of statistics, aeronautics, and meteorology, to show where and how the FBI could resume the search and possibly find out at last who "D. B. Cooper" really was.

"Maybe a hydrologist can use the latest technology to trace the $5,800 in ransom money found in 1980 to where Cooper landed upstream. Or maybe someone just remembers that odd uncle." - FBI Special Agent Larry Carr On November 24, 1971, there was little to suggest that the skies above the Pacific Northwest would produce one of the greatest mysteries in American history and a criminal investigation that is still ongoing over 40 years later. However, on the day before Thanksgiving, a man calling himself Dan Cooper boarded Northwest Orient Flight 305 from Portland to Seattle and sat in the rear of the cabin. Shortly after takeoff, the man handed a flight attendant warning that he had a bomb and informed her that he was hijacking the plane. Cooper demanded $200,000, several parachutes, and a truck to refuel the plane when it landed in Seattle. Another flight attendant would later inform authorities, "He seemed rather nice. He was never cruel or nasty. He was thoughtful and calm all the time." When the plane landed at Seattle-Tacoma Airport, Cooper's demands were met, after which he let all of the passengers and most of the crew off. He then told pilot William Scott to fly towards Mexico at no higher than 10,000 feet and at the slowest possible speed, which would also require a refueling stop in Reno, Nevada. About 30 minutes after the plane had taken off, Cooper manually activated the aft air staircase near the back of the cabin and apparently jumped out of the plane shortly after. The plane landed without any problems at Reno about 90 minutes after Cooper had activated the staircase to exit. Despite leaving dozens of fingerprints, as well as a couple of personal effects, authorities could not identify Cooper, even though Cooper was being actively investigated within minutes of hijacking the plane on its way to Seattle. Furthermore, nobody was sure where Cooper landed, or if he even survived the jump, and few clues were found even after one of the most intensive manhunts in American history. Adding to the mystery is the fact that Cooper couldn't possibly have known his precise location when he jumped due to the cloud cover at 5,000 feet obscuring visibility. Since that night in November 1971, only a little light has been shed on the mystery. In 1980, a boy playing along the banks of the Columbia River found some of the stolen money still banded together but in bad shape. This heightened the belief of many that Cooper didn't land safely, and that he may have fallen into a body of water, but the inability to locate other money and the fact that some bills were missing from the discovered packets alternatively suggest that Cooper survived the jump and intentionally buried the money. Either way, the additional findings have only added to the intrigue and speculation over who Cooper was, and the mystery and fascination with the case has only made things more difficult, as it produced apparent copycat attempts and a host of individuals who claimed to be D.B. Cooper on their deathbeds, forcing investigators to check out and refute claims. To date, those in charge of the investigation have enough evidence to eliminate the names traditionally listed as suspects, either through fingerprints or alibis. As a result, the identity of D.B. Cooper and his fate remain unsolved, and over 40 years after he jumped out of that plane, the FBI doesn't know much too more than it did in 1971. History's Greatest Mysteries: The Unsolved Case of D.B. Cooper comprehensively covers the facts, mysteries, and theories surrounding the only unsolved hijacking case in America.
