Ep 11 - PART 3 - WHO WAS D.B. COOPER (2-5)

Who was D.B. Cooper? Over the past fifty years, the passenger in seat 18E of Flight 305 has morphed from a man into a legend. Yet, the hijacker calling himself Dan Cooper was a real, flesh and blood human being whose true identity has never been revealed. This post contains the first part of Chapter 11 of Antrhax to Zodiac and looks at FBI's investigation of the crime, including the question of whether or not the hijacker could have survived the jump. In the first part of Chapter 12, we'll also consider one of the most prominent entries on the suspect list: veteran helicopter pilot Richard McCoy of Provo, Utah.
