FAMOUS COLD CASES: Police nemeses, tabloid fodder
By Davina Willett Court TV
Whatever Happened to D.B. Cooper?
On the night before Thanksgiving 1971, a rather nondescript, middle-a skinned man boarded North West Airlines Flight 305 at around 4:15 p. Portland International Airport. He paid $20 cash for his ticket. En rout Seattle, the man, who has come to be known as D.B. Cooper, handed attendant Flo Schaffner a handwritten note.
About four hours later D.B. Cooper pulled off the only successful majo in U.S. history.
D.B. Cooper reclaimed the note he handed to Schaffner, so its exact w lost in history. But according to Max Gunther, author of D.B. Cooper: Happened, Schaffner, and the colleague to whom she showed/the lette remember it. It explained that the man had a bomb in his case and th wanted $200,000 in $20 bills; that he demanded four parachutes, alon money, delivered to him when the plane landed in Seattle; and he said demands were not met, he would detonate the bomb and blow up the
When the plane landed in Seattle, the airline had (serial numbers already recorded by the FBI) and parachutes waiting. D.B. Cooper released everyon one steward, Tina Mucklow Larson, and both pilot
He ordered the plane to be refueled and flown to no more than 10,000 feet, agreeing to another re stop in Reno, Nevada. He demanded the wing flap and the rear stairs lowered. All measures to keep at a safe speed and easy access for jumping out stairs.
The pilots reported that the plane's gauges record bump in pressure at 8:13 p.m., as they flew over Washington. This is when the pilots and the FBI figure Cooper jumped, presume that his jumping caused the stairwell to snap shut then open

affecting the plane's pressure guage. The money, two parachutes and Cooper were missing when the plane landed for refueling in Reno.
Soldiers, police, volunteers and FBI agents searched the area — which the densest forest in the U.S. — for 18 days by foot, planes, boats an helicopters. But not until 1980 was any trace of Cooper found.
A little over five thousand dollars of Cooper's spoils were discovered b picnicking with his family along the banks of the Columbia River in sou Washington state, on Feb. 10, 1980. Then, in 1995, a woman named J claimed that her husband, Duane Weber, confessed to being D.B. Coop. deathbed after 17 years of marriage.
Ralph Himmelsbach, the FBI agent assigned to the case, remains steac belief that Cooper would not have survived — whether he was killed by the powerful turbulence on the way down, or died from a lack of food gear in the forest.
Himmelsbach may refer to him as "a dirty, rotten crook," but D.B. Coo achieved almost cult status. And just in case he ever does show up, ai charges await him in U.S. District Court.
