Description
D.B. Cooper and Flight 305 Reexamining the Hijacking and Disappearance by Robert H. Edwards On November 24, 1971, a man known as "D.B. Cooper" hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft, taking it from Portland to Seattle. He demanded $200,000 and four parachutes, released the passengers, and ordered the crew to take him to Mexico. Despite an extensive investigation, Cooper was never found or identified. Forty-five years later, the FBI closed the case, but the mystery remains. This book uses previously unexamined data and original-source documents to reexamine the hijacking and disappearance. The author, an economist and private pilot, brings a unique perspective to the case, using statistics, aeronautics, and meteorology to explore the possibilities of Cooper's fate. With a focus on the facts and a critical approach, Edwards sheds new light on one of the most enduring unsolved crimes in US history. By reevaluating the evidence and considering alternative explanations, Edwards aims to help the FBI and the public better understand the events of that day and perhaps uncover new leads in the search for Cooper's identity.
