They traced the particle back to the company that makes that metal for the plane he was on. Actually the particle probably came from the 727 itself that DB Cooper was on; he didn't have to work at the factory; he was onboard the plane and probably the tie somehow picked up the particle from the plane itself. I.e. this "evidence" is worthless.

I think there were many particles, not just one. Being a passenger in a 727 wouldn't expose you to exotic metals because these are only used in the engine. Also small particles occur during manufacture, not so much the operation of the engines. So the evidence is somewhat compelling.

Omg so you're telling me that they found a trace of metal on his tie that is known to be used on the same kind of airplanes that DB Cooper hijacked??? This must be groundbreaking, he MUST have worked for Boeing... Or maybe his tie brushed up against some metal while he was on the plane to begin with. This tells us nothing. It's like saying the person that stole the cookie from the cookie jar must have worked at the bakery because you found crumbs on the glove he left behind.

[@vista_valley]

They found titanium inside of the cabin though. I had the same thought, maybe the entry door components. Too expensive to be used in the cabin where cheaper metals are available. I'd hope this researcher looked up what parts used that metal and ruled out the possibility.

[@Unown_Arceus]

Or someone else tried it on 😂

[@oafee]

Agree. Crumbs=baker argument.

[@Mavrik9000]

That's what I thought at first. But after reading through the comments it is clear that titanium is not common in the passenger area of planes. Especially if you factor in how long the plane had been in service. If it had been cleaned many times it would be unlikely to retain debris from the manufacturing process. But we are talking about dust, so it is possible that it came from the plane. Also, it isn't enough to prove anything. The banking records for the man they named will be long gone, retention by the bank itself is only seven years. But if he just used the cash slowly then there would be no way to prove it.

DB Cooper is the PNW's own mysterious anti-hero... our Jesse James or Hatfield and McCoy. What's more, DB didn't hurt anybody. There was no one killed or injured. There was no rambling manifesto furiously scribbled on notebooks. There was no political motive [at least that I've ever heard of]. Nevertheless, his mystery is part of our collective Northwesterner identity and one of the things that makes this area special. DB Cooper is as much part of the NW as hydro races, catching fish at the Pike Street Market, and 'the mountain is out!'. And solving that mystery would take all the fun out of it.

The letter most thought to be genuine sent after the crime has phrases that match known bits of Bradens writings and correspondence. It's the same type of thing that got the UNA Bomber caught. I think the US Intel guys have known for decades who did it. They just don't want their dirty laundry hanging out for all to see.

They can come up with all this, but still can't figure out where all those extra ballots came from?

[@MB-ig6gl]

Circumstantial at best. First assumes the tie was not bought used at a thrift store (to me likely) Then assumes he wore it regularly, chose to then wear a recognizable item for a heist, and finally purposely leave it behind. Me thinks it is more probable that item was not his. But if it was now we are assuming the identified stuff (from Boeing) did not come from that plane, or transferred by cleaners, FAs, Pilots, or customers between planes. There is some "junk science" assumptions - as in some things are facts but things connecting them are baseless assumptions. There is a reason the FBI did not follow this thin thread - the result is meaningless. I tend to follow OCCAM'S RAZOR. The simplest explanation is typically the correct one. And there are too many pieces (facts and assumptions) that have to line up exactly for this to mean anything.

The altimeter of the reserve parachute, worn on the chest, was deactivated from automatic deployment by a nylon tether attached to the canvas bag of the main chute.

I think there is a connection with a case from 1987 in Bradford pa. On September 12th 1987 at the corning glass works in Bradford pa (which was an electronics manufacturing plant) and in partner with the Pittsburgh corning, Dale Kerstetter came up missing during his shift after a masked man came into the plant and heisted $250.000 worth of platnum. Dale had worked there for 27 years which means he would of worked there during the db Cooper heist. He was never found since. Vince Peterson worked in Pittsburgh in a titanium research lab. Both men had a connection with Pittsburgh and worked with precious metals. Bradford corning made electronic parts some said to been used in the airline industry. Both men have never been found.

My grandfather was DB Cooper. He was a founder of the Oregon skydivers organization. He was a truck driver. He was a green baret army ranger. He was in the Korean war. He had a commercial pilots license. The money was in a shoe box He had in the back of his hanger for about 10 years before he threw it out of a plane over the lake near where he angered his cesna. With the money he bought opal mine and a condominium with the money that he ended up losing to divorce. The name he used l get the ticket AFTER ALL THESE YEARS WAS DUNCAN not Dan!! The money was a government payroll. The door was down before takeoff. He was the first man in the US military to test jump the 737 for the air force. Full bird Colonel Jennifer Reves his neice who ran the 341st missile division in Montana has video footage of my grandfather jumping out of planes. The parachutes are buried in metal drums near the Seattle airport. He jumped shortly after takeoff. He was a pro skydiver. It was his favorite hobby. He helped to blow the Hangang bridge in Korea. He knew explosives very well. He was a member of a well known biker club. He used to smoke and loved bourbon but converted to mormonism in his latter years. He was born in 1936. MY GRANDFATHER WAS DB COOPER.

Remember this response! DB is having health issues and will be in hospice soon. He left the owners of the government camp museum everything to prove who he is, where he lived and they will display the parachute and other items once he is gone.

[@mikecohen2400]

If D.B. Cooper is still with us, he would be in his mid 80’s, hopefully at this point he has enjoyed the money, and even if the Feds managed to find him through DNA if any was found he would probably laugh in their faces, aside from the question of statute of limitations, on the various charges.

[@stanwoody4988]

He had some sort of connection to Boeing, like being on one of their airplanes, being in Seattle, being around someone in the aviation industry, etc.. When you start talking about particles this small there can be a thousand innocent explanations of how these flecks found their way to a person's clothing. This may sound like proof positive if you binge on CSI episodes, but there is so much microscopic stuff floating around that you would have to have a couple of dozen ties from the time and place to prove that this one was some how exceptional. My guess is that half the first graders in Seattle would have a similar mix of micro particles on their clothes, which is why the FBI isn't jumping on it.

[@billyjoejimbob75]

Yeah. Imagine 1 SOB picked up a stupid tie at the store before DB bought it.
