D. B. Cooper?

Robert W. Rackstraw, shown being wheeled from a California courtroom in this 1978 photo, emerged yester- day as a current suspect in the eight- year-old D. B. Cooper skyjacking case. The FBI in Southern California has acknowledged investigating Rackstraw to determine if he is Coo- per. A skyjacker who called himself D. B.

Neither he nor the loot has been found despite an extensive effort by the FBI. An artist made the sketch below from descriptions given by passengers and crew members.
