D.B. Cooper Identity/Case Solved?

Back in the day, I used to listen to a lot of Coast to Coast. For those unfamiliar with the very popular radio program, it was once hosted by a man named Art Bell. It normally discussed the meaning of life, the existence of God, the JFK assassination, urban legends, ghosts, and God. That's when I listened to it nightly. Unfortunately, more recently it has taken a strong turn towards conspiracies and psychics, and is now hosted by the occasionally able, but not as good as Mr. Bell, George Noory.

One thing that was discussed a lot a few years ago was D.B. Cooper. Honestly, this case never intrigued me because it was a cold case with a bunch of red herrings and a myriad of stories and versions from different people.

Well, guess what: the case may soon be solved:

The FBI today revealed that it believes it has America's most elusive fugitive finally in its sights 40 years after famed hijacker DB Cooper disappeared when he jumped out of a plane over Washington.

Investigators said that they are testing the fingerprints of a new suspect after what they said is the 'most promising' lead to date in its bid to crack America's only unsolved hijacking.

A mystery hijacker calling himself Dan Cooper, also known as DB Cooper, boarded a Northwest flight in Portland for a flight to Seattle on the night of November 24 1971, and commandeered the plane, claiming he had dynamite...

The FBI today announced that it has a new suspect in the case who they are hoping to link to a tie Cooper left on the plane and cigarette butts in an ashtray using DNA testing and fingerprints.

There have been more than 1,000 suspects over the past four decades, but the FBI have described the new lead as 'looking like our most promising one to date'.
