‘As one person told me, Cooper is the Bigfoot of the Pacific Northwest’
A thorough overview of, and updated information on, the notorious D.B. Cooper hijacking/ransom/parachuting case.
“You’re the first to know this, but we do actually have a new suspect we’re looking at. And it comes from a credible lead who came to our attention recently via a law enforcement colleague.” I’m stunned. Dietrich says she can’t tell me much more, but like all the Cooper sleuths I’ve met over the past few days, I too have become a little obsessed with the case. “The credible lead is somebody whose possible connection to the hijacker is strong,” she says. “And the suspect is not a name that’s come up before.” Dietrich says agents have sent an item that belongs to him for testing at the forensics lab in Quantico, Virginia. “We’re hoping there are fingerprints they can take off of it,” she says. “It would be a significant lead. And this is looking like our most promising one to date.”

Are you sure they’re not reporting a Pynchon novel?
Exactly. And I think it’s even more fabulous the police sketch makes Cooper out to look like Bing Crosby.
All this time I though Bigfoot was the Bigfoot of the Pacific Northwest.
Bigfoot is the D.B. Cooper of the Pacific Northwest.
Looks like B. Traven to me.
Probably both.
