Yeah it's from Fox but still. I hope everyone knows the fucking story of DB Cooper. A fucking real man who would become a legend. This story has fascinated me since I first heard about it when I was a child.

"Statute of limitations
In 1976 discussion arose over impending expiration of the statute of limitations on the hijacking. Most published legal analysis agreed that it would make little difference, as interpretation of the statute varies considerably from case to case and court to court, and a prosecutor could argue that Cooper had forfeited immunity on any of several valid technical grounds.[65] The question was rendered moot in November when a Portland grand jury returned an indictment against "John Doe, aka Dan Cooper" for air piracy and violation of the Hobbs Act.[66] In effect the indictment formally initiated prosecution of the hijacker which can be continued, should he be apprehended, at any time in the future."

Didn't some kids find some of the money? Either he died, or didn't keep enough of it.

I thought so as well. All the serial numbers are available nor have any bills showed up. News reports you heard about turned out to be counterfeit bills printed up as proof to news sources that were going to be used as proof about information on DB Cooper.

I was sure they found lots of money water logged but that turned out to be a false report according to Wiki

It happened 40 fucking years ago. If he didn't die then, there's a good chance he's dead now.

I apologize for not reading the UPDATE on Money found.

"New physical evidence
In the autumn of 1978, a placard containing instructions for lowering the aft stairs of a 727, later verified to be from the hijacked airliner, was found by a deer hunter near a logging road about 13 miles (21 km) east of Castle Rock, Washington, well north of Lake Merwin but within the basic path of Flight 305.[67]


Portion of Brian Ingram's 1980 discovery
In February 1980, an eight-year-old boy named Brian Ingram, vacationing with his family on the Columbia River about 9 miles (15 km) downstream from Vancouver, Washington and 20 miles (32 km) southwest of Ariel, uncovered three packets of the ransom cash, significantly disintegrated but still bundled in rubber bands, as he raked the sandy riverbank to build a campfire.[68] FBI technicians confirmed that the money was indeed a portion of the ransom, two packets of 100 bills each and a third packet of 90, all arranged in the same order as when given to Cooper.[69][70]
The discovery launched multiple new rounds of conjecture, and ultimately raised many more questions than it answered. Initial statements by investigators and scientific consultants centered around assumptions that the bundled bills washed freely into the Columbia River from one of its many connecting tributaries. An Army Corps of Engineers hydrologist noted that the bills had disintegrated in a "rounded" fashion, and were matted together, indicating that they had indeed been deposited by river action, as opposed to having been deliberately buried.[71] If so, it was clear that Cooper had not landed (as many assumed) near Lake Merwin, nor in any other part of the Lewis River, which feeds into the Columbia well downstream from the discovery site; and it lent credence to supplemental data (see Later developments, above) placing the drop zone near the Washougal River, which merges with the Columbia further upstream."
