I certainly hope I can be of some help in finding this sky pirate, although this is just a hunch!
I am sure you remember when those gas station attendants were killed...executed. I was in my late teens then and read about that horrible episode. I called the Seattle Police Station, I am sure it was, and told them I realized that all those men killed had last names that had four letters in them and they all had a meaning in every day life. For instance, Fair was one of the names. I do not remember the others off hand. Now this was just a hunch but it was in the papers the next day as being a possibility that the killers worked this way for some weird reason.
As for the guy who parachuted out of the plane with $200,000 and gave a name as D. B. Cooper---that's hardly his real name---I think he may have used a name that is part of his real name, like Cooper Beatty, which could be possible. He is a sort of clever fellow, he appeared calm and did not seem to have a care in the world, according to passengers. It could be Cooper Beatty is another alias--but ,maybe not. He may be laughing up his sleeve, thinking he pulled this off, just because the authorities did not think of such a simple thing as reversing his name---reversing the last name with the first two initials.
