AMBOY, Wash. -- A parachute that could belong to famous hijacker D.B. Cooper has been found and is being analyzed by the FBI in Seattle.
The Cooper case has been surrounded by mystery since 1971, when he jumped from a Northwest Orient Airlines Boeing 727 with a bag of money containing $200,000 ransom.
The parachute, which the FBI said is the same type that was used by Cooper, was found between the Clark County towns of Ariel and Amboy, near the center of the original jump zone, according to KOIN News 6. - kirotv.com
I KNEW I was forgetting something. You know how it is - You're already in a stressful situation, get in a hurry, and, BINGO, you forget something. Man, I've been looking for that chute for almost 40 years. I looked everywhere, too: under the bed, in the garage, in the secret vault under the basement, all the usual places you store things.

Hmm DBCooper is alive and well and probably looking over his shoulder wondering about the next knock on his door LOL I remember when I first heard about him and thought " Man I guess they will never catch him!" I wonder if he ever posted at answerpool?
