I really have no idea if this might be the "D. B. Cooper" you are interested in, but there seems to be quite a bit of coincidence here, and as I say, there is a definite resemblance. You might want to check it out. I would appreciate your keeping this information confidential, whether or not it is of any assistance to you.
