Sorry, I think it was Rick McCoy (Sometimes referred to as The Real McCoy). He pulled off an almost exact copy of this crime 5 months later on a different 727. He was caught with almost $500K of the ransom money and sent to jail. Amazingly, he broke out of prison and was eventually killed by 3 FBI agents after he opened fire on them. The only TV show I know of that dramatized the DB Cooper mystery solved was on a Numb3rs (S6 E10 Old Soldiers) episode that guest starred Henry Winkler because we needed the Fonz to crack this mystery. They guy they blamed was a completely made up character and not a real suspect.

[@rorymckenzie8598]

The part we're not hearing is "What happened to Vincent? Did he become a missing person?" It would seem an essential piece to linking DB Cooper to the research professional who came in contact with the elements on the necktie. Did Vincent's wife report him as missing?

[@joshlight6892]

Obviously he wasn't missing he lived until 2002. He didn't necessarily have to be reported missing, his family could have believed he was away for a legitimate reason. Since this was around Thanksgiving, there is a good chance his wife and family will remember if he was gone around that time. If he just happened to be gone from that particular Thanksgiving then this might be a solid lead. If he was having money problems at the time maybe even more solid. If he wasn't, then its another dead end. His family is probably the key. But as far as we know he had no connection to the Seattle Tacoma area which it was believed Cooper did. I think he was a little old for Cooper too. His family would also have an idea if he was spending more after the incident.

There's some circumstantial "evidence" that a guy named Kenny Christensen was D.B.Cooper. K.C. was a former paratrooper who worked with Boeing planes at an air base in Alaska and then in several positions at Northwest Airlines. D.B. Cooper was familiar with the plane's drop down back steps. He knew flying well enough to order the wing flaps kept at 15 degrees from horizontal to keep the plane from exceeding 200 mph, a doable jump speed. Christensen would have known these details and was an experienced parachute folder and jumper. Moreover, at his rural house, he appeared to suddenly make a lot of purchases right after the hijacking. Height, size, build, and face he fits the description of Cooper the F.B.I. produced. Brad Melzer's "Decoded" series did a program on Christensen, who has already died. Christensen's brother claims Kevin gave a deathbed statement that he was Cooper. The true identity might well end up like the JFK assassination, neither to be settled beyond doubt in my lifetime, not to mention the Zodiac Killer around San Francisco.

cross contamination of those particles would be pretty difficult, even if the chain of custody was marginal, unless someone took the tie to a research lab containing those particles and then brought it back to evidence.

His name is Eric Ulis. I'm trying to find the rest of his talk now.

[@annalisette5897]

This is interesting, but at best for what is in this video (I think it cut off at the end), is that the tie may have worked in various labs and workshops and that tie ended up attached to D.B. Cooper's shirt. LOL! One of Australia's longest unsolved mysteries was Somerton Man. He was a fellow who, in 1948, laid down on Somerton Beach near Adelaide and quietly died in the night. No one came forward to identify him. For various reasons, over the years it was thought he may have been a ballet dancer or a Russian spy. All labels had been removed from his clothes and a number of articles were made in USA. He too had a tie and on the back was printed the name T. Keane (or could it be J. Keane?). In 2021 to 2022, extensive DNA tests were run on Somerton Man and the results were worked through familial DNA. Only by way of DNA was the man identified as Carl (Charles) Webb, a troubled man from Melbourne. Some of his clothing and the tie came from a nephew or brother-in-law whose names were J. Keane and T. Keane. The nephew who was killed in WWII had lived in the U.S. for a short period of time. I think my point is kind of clear. D.B. Cooper's tie may have been all sorts of places but was it on Cooper's neck when it was in those places? An engineer's relative could have obtained the tie. D.B. Cooper was ultimately a criminal so he could have stolen the tie. The tie could have been donated to a thrift store or swiped from a laundry. Did the engineer travel? His tie could have been swiped from a motel room or from lost or stolen luggage. Clip on ties could be quickly shared if a man needed to wear a tie and did not have one. Yes, even some restaurants in those days required neckties. I assume there is more to the talk presented in this video since it practically cut a word in half at the end. Perhaps I am premature in my theorizing but IMO there needs to be a lot stronger evidence than where the tie has been. ;-)

[@Geno5]

I agree. I saw this story a year or so ago. My first thought was, well this tells us where the tie may have been. He says DB Cooper had these particles on his tie… Also you have to take into account that Cooper took the tie off on the plane, sat it on the seat next to him. Particles could be picked up from coming into contact with the seat. I doubt Northwestern vacuumed the seats between flights. I think you hit the mark on the thrift store aspect. The case this guy is making, would not convict someone in a court of law without more evidence.

[@bosslevelzero9541]

Nope. Looks absolutely nothing like the sketch that was provided by eye witnesses. He probably bought that tie at a thrift store. You cannot prove that he was the original owner of the tie. I cannot believe the time and money spent on this. Over some particles on a tie. This guy is a great investigator, but he should follow the evidence and stop grasping at straws. There really is no mistaking the sketch. To me, that cancels any evidence out. Too many people saw him. Any of the other suspects are more compelling than this one, including the woman.

Need to hear the rest of this please

[@GammonMaster-PcP]

When I was young and we visited Tacoma WA as a kid, my mom befriended a guy who fit the description and had DB as his actual name initials. Tall, looked almost exactly like the drawings, ex green beret who trained gunboat soldiers and was a paratrooper of course. Highly intelligent and very capable of doing this hijacking. I met him again, much later in life, and he was involved in the drug trade as a business as he had ties to Vietnam suppliers and was a business man, even dressed in a tie, suit regularly. He fit the age, the time was right as he was in the Wa area during this and I have always wondered as he could have easily had the intelligence and military experience to pull this off and it fit his personality as well as his initials of his first and last name being DB… Maybe, maybe not, but for me, he fit this scenario perfectly

[@nyk3334]

Thanks for sharing.

[@kathyfrew7282]

I am 71 now and grew up in Kent, Washington. We grew up knowing very well of DB. This info is fascinating to me and I am so interested in this!!

But do you think he would be dumb enough to keep matching initials even if he changed his name.

[@GammonMaster-PcP]

@@SavageFrenchies Fair question. You never know human nature and others have done similar. A mystery that might never be solved after so many years, but it just always made me wonder as my guy fit so well…

Years ago I went to look at some livestock located at a place owned by one DB Cooper.

Not the normal house and barn. Mr Cooper was not available to talk to but a young woman showed me some of the buildings. Really different.

[@fallandbounce]

That wasn't a concern back then, as pertinent technology didn't exist. A tie was to make you presentable in public and that was about it. Not wearing one would've stood out. His legend survives because, among other things, he was nondescript. This person knew what he was doing, and had a plan. If he went out to buy clothes, it would've meant more people could have had a chance to identify him.

This sounds a lot like what the fbi looked into. They said in so many words they think they know who it is but cannot prove it. The problem is this chain of custody and what % chance could there be of the tie once on the ground in the plane make contact with particles on the floor etc. also whats to say cooper didnt get a tie from a friend his father a thrift store etc. would be hard to prove but also is a great theory

Working with metals, I guarantee that tie would be riddled with debris not just a couple fragments.

All that he proved that the neck tie once belonged to a guy from Pittsburg. Many people give away clothes and maybe Cooper got it 2nd hand.
