People have been trying to figure this crime out for over three decades now. In 1971, in the American Northwest, Cooper hijacked and threatened to blow up an airplane. He took $200,000.00 from the plane and then leaped from the plane while in the air with twenty- one pounds of twenty dollar bills strapped to his chest. After he jumped out of the plane, Cooper was never seen again, dead nor alive. No one knows this man's real name. He may be the most recognized criminal since Jack the Ripper.
Sketch of DB Cooper
People from all over the country have tried everything they could have thought of to try and figure out what ever happened to this mysterious man. Thirty years later, not one known person knows anything. Officer's say that this crime was different than most. Most of the times the crime's are where the person injured at least one person, when it came to this one, no one was ever hurt, the only thing that happened was, they were put at risk. No one was injured in the slightest way, and at the same time, he helped us because after he committed this crime, the air ports finally started making security more extensive. There are many books all over the place published about the mysterious D.B. Cooper, everyone around wanted to know more, or get their hands on one little piece of evidence to try and be the one person who helped capture this man.
D. B. Cooper’s wardrobe was a dark suit and tie and a white shirt with a pearl tie tack. He carried a brief case along his side the whole time. He had brown eyes, short, brown hair. Cooper handed a note to Flo Schaffner right after the plane was in the air. The next time Schaffner passed, Cooper gestured for her to lean close. He said, “You’d better read that. I have a bomb.” Schaffner went to the galley and she read the note. She hurried to the cockpit, where Capt. Scott took a look. He immediately radioed Sea-Tac air traffic control, who in turn alerted the FBI. The feds placed an urgent call to Northwest Orient’s president, Donald Nyrop, who ordered full cooperation with Cooper’s demands.

No body knows if this man is alive or dead. Will anyone ever know?
I think that it is always going to be a mystery of what happened. This is one of the most curious and most amazing crimes that i have ever read about. I am happy that no one was hurt, but this man was really a daredevil. I wonder if we will ever know what ever happened to him. I liked how they said that Cooper may have been the most recognized criminal since Jack the Ripper. The reason i say this is because, until now, i never heard of either one of them. I just thought that was a little comical, that i never heard of them before.
