It has become a familiar story in the Pacific Northwest, if not beyond. As with so many infamous unsolved mysteries, just the name — D.B. Cooper — can raise the hair on a neck and inspire wonder.

Wednesday marks 50 years since a mystery man known widely as D.B. Cooper ("Dan Cooper" was the name he used for his one-way ticket) leapt from a Boeing 727's rear stair door with $200,000 somewhere over Southwest Washington. It remains the only unsolved case of air piracy in U.S. history.

It began Nov. 24, 1971, when a man calling himself Dan Cooper bought a one-way ticket from Portland to Seattle on Northwest Orient Airlines. Aboard the Boeing 727, he handed a note to the flight attendant saying he had a bomb and that he wanted $200,000 and four parachutes, as well as a refueling truck when the plane reached Seattle.

Once there, he exchanged the passengers for the money and ordered the pilots to take off again with a flight plan for Mexico. Somewhere over Southwest Washington state, the man lowered the rear stair door of the 727 and jumped out. He was never seen again.

3. A good read on this is

Into the blast : the true story of D.B. Cooper / Skipp Porteous and Robert Blevins
It’s based off of the tv show
Decoded. Season one.
I think it had some pretty convincing evidence. If I remember correctly three of the four people in the show after following the information became convinced this was Cooper.
Even if wrong they mystery is always fun to try and solve in your own mind.
