Omg so you're telling me that they found a trace of metal on his tie that is known to be used on the same kind of airplanes that DB Cooper hijacked??? This must be groundbreaking, he MUST have worked for Boeing... Or maybe his tie brushed up against some metal while he was on the plane to begin with. This tells us nothing. It's like saying the person that stole the cookie from the cookie jar must have worked at the bakery because you found crumbs on the glove he left behind.
They found titanium inside of the cabin though. I had the same thought, maybe the entry door components. Too expensive to be used in the cabin where cheaper metals are available. I'd hope this researcher looked up what parts used that metal and ruled out the possibility.
That's what I thought at first. But after reading through the comments it is clear that titanium is not common in the passenger area of planes. Especially if you factor in how long the plane had been in service. If it had been cleaned many times it would be unlikely to retain debris from the manufacturing process. But we are talking about dust, so it is possible that it came from the plane. Also, it isn't enough to prove anything. The banking records for the man they named will be long gone, retention by the bank itself is only seven years. But if he just used the cash slowly then there would be no way to prove it.
They traced the particle back to the company that makes that metal for the plane he was on. Actually the particle probably came from the 727 itself that DB Cooper was on; he didn't have to work at the factory; he was onboard the plane and probably the tie somehow picked up the particle from the plane itself. I.e. this "evidence" is worthless.
I think there were many particles, not just one. Being a passenger in a 727 wouldn't expose you to exotic metals because these are only used in the engine. Also small particles occur during manufacture, not so much the operation of the engines. So the evidence is somewhat compelling.
@@microdesigns2000 Could be he went to the same bathroom as one of the mechanics at some point, may have brushed against someone that manufactures engines. The dust from construction and destruction are similar, not identical I'll grant you, but operation and repair are a bit different.
The media doesn't really want to solve the the case because that would end the mystery. I would put my money on Richard Floyd Mc Coy. I worked with one of the Pilot crew members that testified at McCoy's trial and he said that both the FBI and the Judge felt that he was "D.B. Cooper". Mc Coy. convicted of hijacking a 727 later escaped from prison and was killed in a shoot-out. But then it couldn't be him because that would be the end of the story.
This particle wasn't "just discovered". They've known about it for years. And I certainly hope the family of the poor deceased guy currently being smeared by this essentially baseless theory (that is being presented as factual by a legacy TV news station) has secured legal counsel. Yet another nail in the coffin of a co-opted entity virtually no one trusts anymore.

This isn't new. They already suspected someone from a PA manufacturer that dealt with these metals because of the metal bits on the tie. He couldn't have possibly got the tie used, right? Goodwill? Yard sale? Stolen?

I was a kid in school when that happened and we had a class in which we talked about the news. So we often talked about that case. The amount of money seemed great 100,000 was like at least a million or two now . For sure a person could buy one or two middle class houses or the most expensive car as in a rare car . Now that same amount of money is likely not enough for the down payment on a middle class house at least not in Canada where a tiny house sells for 600,000

An important point: nowadays titanium is used in all kinds of things, in the late 50's early 60's that was not the case, it was just been introduced into the jet aircraft industry.
specks of hull don't just hang around in the plane's interior, it's finished, painted, furnished vehicle that's visited by thousands of people and cleaned daily. next time you're in a car try to think of a scenario how a piece of the car's frame would end up on your clothes, there'd have to be a collision strong enough to rip the car apart. granted there's always some chance for debris transfer from ground but it was three particles on a tie, not a shoe or a glove, most likely scenario is that the person wearing the tie was standing close to the metal while it was being worked
Boeing planes do not utilize titanium. Titanium is a rare-earth metal. You will almost never come into contact with titanium in your life, most likely titanium-alloy.
I was thinking the same thing. But you have to keep in mind that they have to dumb down everything for the idiots out there. Of course, we both know that "itsy bitsy" is not a valid measurement. No more than "over there" is a specific location.
She said it was"3 to 4 percent of a single centimeter". If only there was a word to describe this unit of measurement... Oh yeah 'itsy bitsy'. Also I think her tape measure is broken.
Exactly, from a plane that was used for travel by employees from the plant that produced the materials that is microscopic in size that could be transferred from touch.
....and? Do you feel that the people who handled that tie use supernatural Marvel like superpowers to change the metal composition of the tie clip? If so, that would be more newsworthy than DB Cooper, lol.
That tie has passed through so many hands since then and it happened so long ago before the tech we have today and the ppl who were handling it might notve even worried about washing hands or using gloves so ain't no telling where that one metal fragment came from.
If it was that guy, I would have assumed someone at the plant would have recognized him. If he was sick, on vacation or not at work for whatever reason, would have been easy to button him up as copper. Would this guy have anything in background that would suggest that he was capable of making this jump? From what I have read, just a few people in the world were thought to “maybe” be able to do it and survive
If one studies this case, its a KNown Fact that the Flight Attendant never believed that picture looked anything like the individual she dealt with in person, on the Plane. She mentions that the FBI just wanted to get "ANY" likeness out there ASAP. Accuracy did not matter to them she reported.
I've actually read that she said the very first sketch didn't match the man she saw, it was thrown together quickly. They would update the sketch with witnesses.
Your absolutely right. Tina Mucklow said No Richard Floyd McCoy is not D.B Cooper I wouldn't expect her to remember something today about his characteristics but only months after. She could of passed that test. I take her testimony as very credible at that moment in time.
DB Cooper is the PNW's own mysterious anti-hero... our Jesse James or Hatfield and McCoy. What's more, DB didn't hurt anybody. There was no one killed or injured. There was no rambling manifesto furiously scribbled on notebooks. There was no political motive [at least that I've ever heard of]. Nevertheless, his mystery is part of our collective Northwesterner identity and one of the things that makes this area special. DB Cooper is as much part of the NW as hydro races, catching fish at the Pike Street Market, and 'the mountain is out!'. And solving that mystery would take all the fun out of it.
We lived in Seattle at that time and my mom was a ticket agent for Western Airlines. I’ve never asked her about DBC before. I will next time I talk to her.
So a small piece of metal shaving from a company that supplied Boeing and had employees regularly flying on their planes was found on someone who flew on a Boeing plane? That's a long, long way from "the guy who had this piece of metal on him worked at that company". That piece of metal could have been transferred to the plane by any of the steel company employees at any time, weeks or months prior to the heist, and then picked up by anyone else on that plane.
@@ponispal Maybe you should read John's post until you GET it. Then explain how he's wrong instead of just hurling childish insults. Think you can do that?
Or it could have gotten there when the plane was built, imbedded in the seat cushion and then transferred to the tie. A crumb of titanium jostled loose from the overhead compartment that landed on the tie. I would imagine the possibility that there could be bits of titanium anywhere on that aircraft left there during manufacture.
This comment is 100% the correct take. "Particles associated with Boeing 727 found on famous Boeing 727 passenger" isn't exactly the smoking gun the guy in this news story pretends it is.
right? internet users love saying "youre wrong" and refusing to elaborate or try and educate or explain their side. then get pissy when u ask for evidence@@joevarga5982
What? They found titanium and stainless steel on a tie that was aboard a plane made of titanium and stainless steel? Who could even dream thats a possibility? So odd and unexpected.
Couldn't these pieces of metal that came from the same kind of plane gotten on his tie from the airport, airline employees, and initial investigators? Maybe the people who collected and saved the tie handled it or stored it in a way that these microscopic pieces were transferred there. Since the technology that could detect and image them didn't exist, I doubt those people were at all concerned about avoiding contaminating the tie in this way.
no dude its unique to the milling process ....like fcking obvoiusly COME ON why are you in the comments of an investigation video if you clearly never watch investgation videos
DB Cooper died in a sinkhole/ cave in the PNW. He fell in, broke his leg and couldnt get back out. He burned the miney to keep warm until he ran out and died. Years later 3 childhood friends got together and went on a search and came across DB's partner who waoted faithfully for his friend for decades. One of the 3 choldhood friends fell into the sinkhole/cave, found DB and figured out what happened. In their search the 3 friends other events and hijynx ensued and a lot of fun was had by all.
The tie was also left in an airplane where plenty of Boeing Personnel have ridden. When the man photoed has ears that are completely different than those described in the artist rendering of the man. The tie clip on the tie is actually identified by the family of Richard McCoy as being owned by him. But, although he did attempt someone the same thing a few years later, they never could tie him to the original DB Cooper case.
Years ago they were dredging the Columbia River to make it deeper due to ocean going ships being able to access Portland's port. While dredging a wad of bill banded together and partially decomposed came through the filter. The number on the bills matched the bills stolen by Cooper. The narrative is that Cooper parachuted down, winds carried him into the river where he drown.
So Vince hijacks the plane Thanksgiving Eve, jumps out of the plane in Washington state in the middle of nowhere, then turns up for work in Pittsburgh the following Monday like nothing happened. Yeah, that works for me.
@@donaldkgarman296it was Richard McCoy.. Look at what happened with him, there’s no way that’s a coincidence. DB Cooper is Richard McCoy and he died a long time ago
Some times forensics can turn tiny seemingly meaningless pieces of nothing into valid evidence pointing at a particular person, place or thing. They can do some amazing things these days with things that on the surface would seem insignificant and not even worthy of consideration. At the same time modern forensics is not flawless and doesn't always lead in the right direction.In this case I think it is very premature to drag any real persons face across the screen be they living or dead.
Fox 13 Seattle if you're interested in DB Cooper consider contacting Dan Gryder the guy that successfully solved the case. Dan has documented the case extensively.
@@ricksmith4736: Yeah, we’ve all moved on from that nothing burger for a bunch of reasons: - the entrance to that hallway is used by visitors, dignitaries security guards, military and employees alike - as many as 500 guests per day have open access to the cubby where the baggie was found - the President does not use that corridor to get to work - the White House has a staff of 1700 people who all have daily access to that corridor - the amount of drugs found would barely make one good snort - no drug user ever leaves their drugs in some random place The baggie was obviously left intentionally by one of those 1000s of people to rile up internet fools, and guess what…it worked!!
Why is this case still being investigated? It's over 50 years old..leave this shit alone....i can't believe there's actually money being spent on somebody to do any further investigation into this matter..sheesh.
Circumstantial at best. First assumes the tie was not bought used at a thrift store (to me likely) Then assumes he wore it regularly, chose to then wear a recognizable item for a heist, and finally purposely leave it behind. Me thinks it is more probable that item was not his. But if it was now we are assuming the identified stuff (from Boeing) did not come from that plane, or transferred by cleaners, FAs, Pilots, or customers between planes. There is some "junk science" assumptions - as in some things are facts but things connecting them are baseless assumptions. There is a reason the FBI did not follow this thin thread - the result is meaningless. I tend to follow OCCAM'S RAZOR. The simplest explanation is typically the correct one. And there are too many pieces (facts and assumptions) that have to line up exactly for this to mean anything.
And in addition to all the ways it could have been contaminated by someone/something other than Cooper, how many people have now handled it over the last half-century and potentially added new contaminants?
If we're following occam's razor the most likely fate of db cooper is that he died when he jumped out of the plane (or at least when he hit the ground).
@claytonberg721 nah someone would have found the body. And before u say money was found on a sandbar in the Columbia river...that part has been proved contrived
@@DavidThomas-qq4hf Again, occam's razor. that's a jump that doesn't have a high rate of survivability. It's more likely that a bear or something found his body and had a snack. the PNW is a giant assed place.
Very interesting. I've followed the D.B. Cooper Case for many years. I always suspected he was a Professional Airline Pilot, and that maybe he was grounded due to health issues.
This crime should have been let go a long time ago. The fact that the FBI is still completely abosorbed with this is proof that the agency is way overfunded.
Until you can dispute the extensive investigation by Dan Gryder, AKA UA-cam Channel Probable Cause, you are grasping at straws for sensationalism. He has done a years long research project and as far as most people have concluded, he solved the case. I have watched all episodes, and personally I was not convinced until I watched the entire investigation.
Gryder's full of shit. He left out a whole lot of evidence against it being McCoy, and that parachute he showed was absolutely not the one. But Eric Ulis is full of shit too, so this guess is probably wrong too.
I just like the mystery of the DB Cooper case, I remember when it happened, I don't condone hijacking and robbery but it's kind of neat to think you got away LOL and I also like the story of the Alcatraz Escape, we all need a little mystery an intriguing our life!
The bit of metal could have come from anywhere. The chest strap of the provided parachutes could have introduced it. We pretty much know who DB was, it was a Mac V SOG, Korea, Vietnam Vet named Ted Braden. He went awol from Nam to fight as a Mercenary in Africa and was caught and released by the CIA. The letter most thought to be genuine sent after the crime has phrases that match known bits of Bradens writings and correspondence. It's the same type of thing that got the UNA Bomber caught. I think the US Intel guys have known for decades who did it. They just don't want their dirty laundry hanging out for all to see.
You know you have insurance scammers these days causing traffic accidents that’s stealing way more than what DB did and causing real harm to people right?
this case was utterly mishandled by the FBI. Dan Gryder proved who DB Copper was (McCoy), found the parachute used in a relative's attic, along with the modification that was done to it by the Navy.
@@IrishLincoln so what happened to Richard Floyd McCoy Jr? Did he disappear or did he live a nice life and go on to become a Grandpa without ever being harassed about it???
@@trevorregay9283 McCoy was murdered in cold blood by an FBI agent who had planned his assassination and bragged about it. Watch his interview by Dan Gryder, it’s chilling. McCoy was no saint but this FBI agent was bent on killing him rather than bring him to justice.
Well if it had been a bow tie they would know that he worked at Woodward Governor back in the day because they all did, a machinist wearing a clip-on tie what a joke
The altimeter of the reserve parachute, worn on the chest, was deactivated from automatic deployment by a nylon tether attached to the canvas bag of the main chute. The well dressed parachutist would have removed his tie to not interfere with the operation of the parachute assembly. The reserve chute well as the vest of the main chute had metal parts.
3-4% of a centimeter= 0.3-0.4mm = 300-400 microns. I am not sure why simple dimensions cannot be stated unless these measurements are beyond the intellect of the reporters.
I think there is a connection with a case from 1987 in Bradford pa. On September 12th 1987 at the corning glass works in Bradford pa (which was an electronics manufacturing plant) and in partner with the Pittsburgh corning, Dale Kerstetter came up missing during his shift after a masked man came into the plant and heisted $250.000 worth of platnum. Dale had worked there for 27 years which means he would of worked there during the db Cooper heist. He was never found since. Vince Peterson worked in Pittsburgh in a titanium research lab. Both men had a connection with Pittsburgh and worked with precious metals. Bradford corning made electronic parts some said to been used in the airline industry. Both men have never been found. I think there is something going here.
The DB Copper thing isn’t a mystery any more. Richard Floyd McCoy was/is DB cooper. Both his grown kids came forward a couple years ago with it all. Spilled the entire family secret after their last living relative that knew had died. They even had the parachute used in an attic.
Only if you ignore all the evidence against it being him. That parachute is absolutely not the one Cooper used. Dan Gryder is even more full of shit than Eric Ulis.
Remember this response! DB is having health issues and will be in hospice soon. He left the owners of the government camp museum everything to prove who he is, where he lived and they will display the parachute and other items once he is gone. The owners don’t have the items yet and are not involved but once he passes it will be transferred to them. This mystery will be revealed and is going to be an absolute media frenzy when it happens!
This has already been solved. The channel “Probable Cause” did the deepest dive into this. Even talked to the family of DB Cooper and did an actual recreation of the jump. Worth a watch
Yes, people need to watch it but likely won't have the attention span to do so. They'd rather listen to news channels who were just looked for a way to fill a couple of minutes. He probably got the tie from the nearest thrift store.😂
Kent is the best one as fare as cooper case just known that he has 180,000 bucks in his bank account and he was working with Boeing at the time of highjacking so he was broke one day and Ritch the next day
Imagine getting paid like she is to not know you put a tie in the washer or the dry cleaner. Said it many times I’ll say it again. These people get paid to lie.🙄
Unless they can DEFINITIVELY prove who it is, they shouldn't release any names. Considering how a majority of the original suspects are dead, it would just be a kick to the face of their families if they're reaccused of being D.B. Cooper, only for them not to be.
He had some sort of connection to Boeing, like being on one of their airplanes, being in Seattle, being around someone in the aviation industry, etc.. When you start talking about particles this small there can be a thousand innocent explanations of how these flecks found their way to a person's clothing. This may sound like proof positive if you binge on CSI episodes, but there is so much microscopic stuff floating around that you would have to have a couple of dozen ties from the time and place to prove that this one was some how exceptional. My guess is that half the first graders in Seattle would have a similar mix of micro particles on their clothes, which is why the FBI isn't jumping on it.
Actually, it's unlikely that these 100,000 particles -- including rare earth elements that were uncommon at the time -- was even remotely common. In particular, titanium was rarely used in any industry. It was mostly used in research until the early 1970s.
My dad was the air traffic controller at Sea/Tac airport that handled that flight. He’s the only person that chatted with that pilot. The FBI didn’t want to change the voice they heard.
I love how they show a clip of someone handling the tie. I worked crime scenes for 20 years. You're really not supposed to pick up evidence and handle it with your bare hands lmfao.
So literally this update is "we have nothing new at all to add, and this dude is still one big mystery." Great waste of time, let us know when they give up trying to find this guy, he's a legend, hope he's still chuckling about this shit to this day
I knew a man in prison who also confessed. He got a $10,000 deposit for his story from some media company. I don't think they got the money back when they found out they were scammed.
@@realist7239 This story is taking up an infinitesimal portion of the media coverage. What do you feel it's possibly blotting out? The story is only of interest to Boomers anyway.
You have any idea how many guys have confessed to being DB? It's a massive issue with men, most of us wish we had been more and done more with our lives. Nobody wants to be just another boring cog in the machine of society. The greatest stories come from guys that were never there or did that. Many men have made deathbed confessions to be Cooper. Likely none of them were him.
These claims always blow my mind. We have known who DB Cooper was for quite some time. Go to Dan Gryder : Probable Cause and get the real story. It is a two part show that will amaze you and answer the questions that were most confusing.
You owe it to yourself to watch the Dan Gryder story. There is so much more to the story. Fact can truly be stranger than fiction. How did the money from the hijacking end up upriver ( the Colombia) from the Lewis River where it was believed DB jumped. I have lived in SW Washington all of my life , so I was always fascinated by the story. And now we have the final answer with proof.
If D.B. Cooper is still with us, he would be in his mid 80’s, hopefully at this point he has enjoyed the money, and even if the Feds managed to find him through DNA if any was found he would probably laugh in their faces, aside from the question of statute of limitations, on the various charges.
1980 a kid found 6000 dollars on the beach off the Columbua River that happens to be the money Cooper parachuted with. I doubt he survived the landing.
Oh, it's itsy bitsy. That's an exact science. Dry clean a tie that cost $1.49? This case will not be reopened, as they don't want to expose who was actually responsible. That was stated many years ago.
Let the man be...he is the first jet age OG...did not hurt anyone.. except maybe himself...and has all the investigave agencies still butt hurt fifty years later ... see you in Ariel WA...on Nov 24 for D B Cooper day...at the Ariel tavern...
In other breaking news, they also found some seat fibers, so clearly he was having an affair with one of the seamstresses…… oh wait, I guess it could’ve come from the plane… that he was on…..
I can't believe they're still going after this guy. He didn't kill anyone, he just hijacked a plane and held it for ransom. But it's now been over 50 YEARS since this happened.
I know where DB Cooper is: in your refrigerator, go check. Seriously though: he's topsoil in the forest after being eaten & digested by a bear or puma after being stranded out in the woods with only a briefcase of money for sustenance.
I think it's pretty consistent, there's a half dozen videos starting as far back as 10 years ago. If Abdullah would take the time to do any real research he could find them before talking his mess.
People bought clip-on ties back in the day so you could easily clip it on an off. What if he laid that tie on the seat that 100 previous engineers had sat in and it picked a particle up? This alone doesn't prove anything.
A very dear friend of mine who passed away 2 years ago, knew who D.B. Cooper really was. They were close friends at one time and he told me details that only he and Cooper would know. The real D.B. Cooper was Bobby Rackstraw.
My grandfather was DB Cooper. He was a founder of the Oregon skydivers organization. He was a truck driver. He was a green baret army ranger. He was in the Korean war. He had a commercial pilots license. The money was in a shoe box He had in the back of his hanger for about 10 years before he threw it out of a plane over the lake near where he angered his cesna. With the money he bought opal mine and a condominium with the money that he ended up losing to divorce. The name he used l get the ticket AFTER ALL THESE YEARS WAS DUNCAN not Dan!! The money was a government payroll. The door was down before takeoff. He was the first man in the US military to test jump the 737 for the air force. Full bird Colonel Jennifer Reves his neice who ran the 341st missile division in Montana has video footage of my grandfather jumping out of planes. The parachutes are buried in metal drums near the Seattle airport. He jumped shortly after takeoff. He was a pro skydiver. It was his favorite hobby. He helped to blow the Hangang bridge in Korea. He knew explosives very well. He was a member of a well known biker club. He used to smoke and loved bourbon but converted to mormonism in his latter years. He was born in 1936. MY GRANDFATHER WAS DB COOPER.
I knew the real DB Cooper had to be a real badass.I just watched the last clown claiming to be him on another Documentary. That guy was a career criminal and a bum. I said no way.

Omg so you're telling me that they found a trace of metal on his tie that is known to be used on the same kind of airplanes that DB Cooper hijacked??? This must be groundbreaking, he MUST have worked for Boeing... Or maybe his tie brushed up against some metal while he was on the plane to begin with. This tells us nothing. It's like saying the person that stole the cookie from the cookie jar must have worked at the bakery because you found crumbs on the glove he left behind.
They found titanium inside of the cabin though. I had the same thought, maybe the entry door components. Too expensive to be used in the cabin where cheaper metals are available. I'd hope this researcher looked up what parts used that metal and ruled out the possibility.
Or someone else tried it on 😂
Agree. Crumbs=baker argument.
That's what I thought at first. But after reading through the comments it is clear that titanium is not common in the passenger area of planes. Especially if you factor in how long the plane had been in service. If it had been cleaned many times it would be unlikely to retain debris from the manufacturing process.
But we are talking about dust, so it is possible that it came from the plane. Also, it isn't enough to prove anything. The banking records for the man they named will be long gone, retention by the bank itself is only seven years. But if he just used the cash slowly then there would be no way to prove it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They traced the particle back to the company that makes that metal for the plane he was on. Actually the particle probably came from the 727 itself that DB Cooper was on; he didn't have to work at the factory; he was onboard the plane and probably the tie somehow picked up the particle from the plane itself. I.e. this "evidence" is worthless.
Exactly. Nothing burger
If the tie can pick up evidence why didn't it pick up the wearers DNA ?
didn't have DNA back then @@septembersurprise5178
I think there were many particles, not just one. Being a passenger in a 727 wouldn't expose you to exotic metals because these are only used in the engine. Also small particles occur during manufacture, not so much the operation of the engines. So the evidence is somewhat compelling.

This particle wasn't "just discovered". They've known about it for years. And I certainly hope the family of the poor deceased guy currently being smeared by this essentially baseless theory (that is being presented as factual by a legacy TV news station) has secured legal counsel.

This isn't new. They already suspected someone from a PA manufacturer that dealt with these metals because of the metal bits on the tie. He couldn't have possibly got the tie used, right? Goodwill? Yard sale? Stolen?

I was a kid in school when that happened and we had a class in which we talked about the news. So we often talked about that case. The amount of money seemed great 100,000 was like at least a million or two now . For sure a person could buy one or two middle class houses or the most expensive car as in a rare car . Now that same amount of money is likely not enough for the down payment on a middle class house at least not in Canada where a tiny house sells for 600,000
$200,000.00 I believe. I need to look it up again.

A tiny house in Canada does not cost 600,000 dollars.

An important point: nowadays titanium is used in all kinds of things, in the late 50's early 60's that was not the case, it was just been introduced into the jet aircraft industry.
Or the metal came from the very plane that it was found on...
Exactly. 🤦🏼♂️
My thought too.
specks of hull don't just hang around in the plane's interior, it's finished, painted, furnished vehicle that's visited by thousands of people and cleaned daily. next time you're in a car try to think of a scenario how a piece of the car's frame would end up on your clothes, there'd have to be a collision strong enough to rip the car apart. granted there's always some chance for debris transfer from ground but it was three particles on a tie, not a shoe or a glove, most likely scenario is that the person wearing the tie was standing close to the metal while it was being worked
Boeing planes do not utilize titanium. Titanium is a rare-earth metal. You will almost never come into contact with titanium in your life, most likely titanium-alloy.
"It's itsy bitsy." Now that is some hard hitting journalism.
I was thinking the same thing. But you have to keep in mind that they have to dumb down everything for the idiots out there. Of course, we both know that "itsy bitsy" is not a valid measurement. No more than "over there" is a specific location.
How many itsy bitsies are there in half an adult male giraffe? We need to establish the scientific basis here.
She said it was"3 to 4 percent of a single centimeter". If only there was a word to describe this unit of measurement...
Oh yeah 'itsy bitsy'.
Also I think her tape measure is broken.
I liked “itsy bitsy,” it made the story more interesting. Spell check does not share my fascination with the phrase, however.
This news segment was written as well as Napoleon Dynamite's "Nessy" report.
Why is it case breaking that he had a piece of metal from a plane on him that is from a plane he was on?
Exactly, from a plane that was used for travel by employees from the plant that produced the materials that is microscopic in size that could be transferred from touch.

That tie has passed through so many hands since then and it happened so long ago before the tech we have today and the ppl who were handling it might notve even worried about washing hands or using gloves so ain't no telling where that one metal fragment came from.

Would this guy have anything in background that would suggest that he was capable of making this jump? From what I have read, just a few people in the world were thought to “maybe” be able to do it and survive

I wouldn't expect her to remember something today about his characteristics but only months after.
She could of passed that test.
I take her testimony as very credible at that moment in time.
DB Cooper is the PNW's own mysterious anti-hero... our Jesse James or Hatfield and McCoy. What's more, DB didn't hurt anybody. There was no one killed or injured. There was no rambling manifesto furiously scribbled on notebooks. There was no political motive [at least that I've ever heard of]. Nevertheless, his mystery is part of our collective Northwesterner identity and one of the things that makes this area special. DB Cooper is as much part of the NW as hydro races, catching fish at the Pike Street Market, and 'the mountain is out!'. And solving that mystery would take all the fun out of it.
db cooper threatened to bomb innocent ppl
We all know he shape shifted back into bigfoot as soon he bailed out of the plane.

So a small piece of metal shaving from a company that supplied Boeing and had employees regularly flying on their planes was found on someone who flew on a Boeing plane? That's a long, long way from "the guy who had this piece of metal on him worked at that company". That piece of metal could have been transferred to the plane by any of the steel company employees at any time, weeks or months prior to the heist, and then picked up by anyone else on that plane.
I suggest that you listen to the first 3 minutes again. If you don't pick up on it, forget about it.
@@ponispal Maybe you should read John's post until you GET it. Then explain how he's wrong instead of just hurling childish insults. Think you can do that?
Or it could have gotten there when the plane was built, imbedded in the seat cushion and then transferred to the tie.
A crumb of titanium jostled loose from the overhead compartment that landed on the tie.
I would imagine the possibility that there could be bits of titanium anywhere on that aircraft left there during manufacture.
This comment is 100% the correct take. "Particles associated with Boeing 727 found on famous Boeing 727 passenger" isn't exactly the smoking gun the guy in this news story pretends it is.

Couldn't these pieces of metal that came from the same kind of plane gotten on his tie from the airport, airline employees, and initial investigators? Maybe the people who collected and saved the tie handled it or stored it in a way that these microscopic pieces were transferred there. Since the technology that could detect and image them didn't exist, I doubt those people were at all concerned about avoiding contaminating the tie in this way.
Just what I was thinking. Seems quite ridiculous to think it must be connected to Cooper.

DB Cooper died in a sinkhole/ cave in the PNW. He fell in, broke his leg and couldnt get back out. He burned the miney to keep warm until he ran out and died.
Years later 3 childhood friends got together and went on a search and came across DB's partner who waoted faithfully for his friend for decades.

The tie clip on the tie is actually identified by the family of Richard McCoy as being owned by him.

Years ago they were dredging the Columbia River to make it deeper due to ocean going ships being able to access Portland's port. While dredging a wad of bill banded together and partially decomposed came through the filter. The number on the bills matched the bills stolen by Cooper. The narrative is that Cooper parachuted down, winds carried him into the river where he drown.

Some times forensics can turn tiny seemingly meaningless pieces of nothing into valid evidence pointing at a particular person, place or thing.

Someone just wants to be known as “the guy who solved the DB Cooper case.”
Oh my god who the hell cares?
Circumstantial at best.
First assumes the tie was not bought used at a thrift store (to me likely)
Then assumes he wore it regularly, chose to then wear a recognizable item for a heist, and finally purposely leave it behind.
Me thinks it is more probable that item was not his.
But if it was now we are assuming the identified stuff (from Boeing) did not come from that plane, or transferred by cleaners, FAs, Pilots, or customers between planes.
There is some "junk science" assumptions - as in some things are facts but things connecting them are baseless assumptions. There is a reason the FBI did not follow this thin thread - the result is meaningless.
I tend to follow OCCAM'S RAZOR. The simplest explanation is typically the correct one. And there are too many pieces (facts and assumptions) that have to line up exactly for this to mean anything.
And in addition to all the ways it could have been contaminated by someone/something other than Cooper, how many people have now handled it over the last half-century and potentially added new contaminants?
If we're following occam's razor the most likely fate of db cooper is that he died when he jumped out of the plane (or at least when he hit the ground).
@claytonberg721 nah someone would have found the body. And before u say money was found on a sandbar in the Columbia river...that part has been proved contrived
@@DavidThomas-qq4hf Again, occam's razor. that's a jump that doesn't have a high rate of survivability. It's more likely that a bear or something found his body and had a snack. the PNW is a giant assed place.

No, it was me. I was just bored that day and needed something to do.
It was clearly Richard McCoy. Read about his incident it was obviously him using the name DB Cooper
This crime should have been let go a long time ago. The fact that the FBI is still completely abosorbed with this is proof that the agency is way overfunded.
Literally the opposite was stated in the video.... Lol?
What are you on about?... At the end of the interview, the dude literally said: they don't want to have anything to do with this case, at this point.
Who would wear a suit and a tie to work at some metal plant?
They can come up with all this, but still can't figure out where all those extra ballots came from?
Until you can dispute the extensive investigation by Dan Gryder, AKA UA-cam Channel Probable Cause, you are grasping at straws for sensationalism. He has done a years long research project and as far as most people have concluded, he solved the case. I have watched all episodes, and personally I was not convinced until I watched the entire investigation.
Gryder's full of shit. He left out a whole lot of evidence against it being McCoy, and that parachute he showed was absolutely not the one. But Eric Ulis is full of shit too, so this guess is probably wrong too.
Its amazing how high profile case evidence goes missing but yet we have DB Cooper tie from 1974

Absolutely 💯. Me too.❤❤
The bit of metal could have come from anywhere. The chest strap of the provided parachutes could have introduced it. We pretty much know who DB was, it was a Mac V SOG, Korea, Vietnam Vet named Ted Braden. He went awol from Nam to fight as a Mercenary in Africa and was caught and released by the CIA. The letter most thought to be genuine sent after the crime has phrases that match known bits of Bradens writings and correspondence. It's the same type of thing that got the UNA Bomber caught. I think the US Intel guys have known for decades who did it. They just don't want their dirty laundry hanging out for all to see.

The altimeter of the reserve parachute, worn on the chest, was deactivated from automatic deployment by a nylon tether attached to the canvas bag of the main chute. The well dressed parachutist would have removed his tie to not interfere with the operation of the parachute assembly. The reserve chute well as the vest of the main chute had metal parts.

Ahh yes, they've found metal on the tie matching that of the plane he was on, that's definitely worth investigating
I think there is a connection with a case from 1987 in Bradford pa. On September 12th 1987 at the corning glass works in Bradford pa (which was an electronics manufacturing plant) and in partner with the Pittsburgh corning, Dale Kerstetter came up missing during his shift after a masked man came into the plant and heisted $250.000 worth of platnum. Dale had worked there for 27 years which means he would of worked there during the db Cooper heist. He was never found since. Vince Peterson worked in Pittsburgh in a titanium research lab. Both men had a connection with Pittsburgh and worked with precious metals. Bradford corning made electronic parts some said to been used in the airline industry. Both men have never been found. I think there is something going here.
Pretty obviously these men were partners in crime.
The DB Copper thing isn’t a mystery any more. Richard Floyd McCoy was/is DB cooper. Both his grown kids came forward a couple years ago with it all. Spilled the entire family secret after their last living relative that knew had died. They even had the parachute used in an attic.
It is true. I knew those kids as a child and their story has not changed in all of those years. Sometimes the simplest explanation is the truth.
Only if you ignore all the evidence against it being him. That parachute is absolutely not the one Cooper used. Dan Gryder is even more full of shit than Eric Ulis.
Yes. This case is closed. The kids decided to share their entire story after their mother died.
Remember this response! DB is having health issues and will be in hospice soon. He left the owners of the government camp museum everything to prove who he is, where he lived and they will display the parachute and other items once he is gone.
The owners don’t have the items yet and are not involved but once he passes it will be transferred to them.
This mystery will be revealed and is going to be an absolute media frenzy when it happens!
This has already been solved. The channel “Probable Cause” did the deepest dive into this. Even talked to the family of DB Cooper and did an actual recreation of the jump. Worth a watch
Yes, people need to watch it but likely won't have the attention span to do so. They'd rather listen to news channels who were just looked for a way to fill a couple of minutes. He probably got the tie from the nearest thrift store.😂
Kent is the best one as fare as cooper case just known that he has 180,000 bucks in his bank account and he was working with Boeing at the time of highjacking so he was broke one day and Ritch the next day
@@bsfishing7073it was mccoy. Dan gryder has receipts
Imagine getting paid like she is to not know you put a tie in the washer or the dry cleaner. Said it many times I’ll say it again. These people get paid to lie.🙄
Unless they can DEFINITIVELY prove who it is, they shouldn't release any names. Considering how a majority of the original suspects are dead, it would just be a kick to the face of their families if they're reaccused of being D.B. Cooper, only for them not to be.
He had some sort of connection to Boeing, like being on one of their airplanes, being in Seattle, being around someone in the aviation industry, etc.. When you start talking about particles this small there can be a thousand innocent explanations of how these flecks found their way to a person's clothing. This may sound like proof positive if you binge on CSI episodes, but there is so much microscopic stuff floating around that you would have to have a couple of dozen ties from the time and place to prove that this one was some how exceptional. My guess is that half the first graders in Seattle would have a similar mix of micro particles on their clothes, which is why the FBI isn't jumping on it.
Yeah. Imagine 1 SOB picked up a stupid tie at the store before DB bought it.
Actually, it's unlikely that these 100,000 particles -- including rare earth elements that were uncommon at the time -- was even remotely common. In particular, titanium was rarely used in any industry. It was mostly used in research until the early 1970s.
My dad was the air traffic controller at Sea/Tac airport that handled that flight. He’s the only person that chatted with that pilot. The FBI didn’t want to change the voice they heard.
I love how they show a clip of someone handling the tie. I worked crime scenes for 20 years. You're really not supposed to pick up evidence and handle it with your bare hands lmfao.

You have any idea how many guys have confessed to being DB? It's a massive issue with men, most of us wish we had been more and done more with our lives. Nobody wants to be just another boring cog in the machine of society. The greatest stories come from guys that were never there or did that. Many men have made deathbed confessions to be Cooper. Likely none of them were him.
These claims always blow my mind. We have known who DB Cooper was for quite some time. Go to Dan Gryder : Probable Cause and get the real story. It is a two part show that will amaze you and answer the questions that were most confusing.
My thoughts exactly.
Who was it?
You owe it to yourself to watch the Dan Gryder story. There is so much more to the story. Fact can truly be stranger than fiction. How did the money from the hijacking end up upriver ( the Colombia) from the Lewis River where it was believed DB jumped. I have lived in SW Washington all of my life , so I was always fascinated by the story. And now we have the final answer with proof.
Gryder left out all the evidence against it being McCoy and the parachute he showed was not the one
If D.B. Cooper is still with us, he would be in his mid 80’s, hopefully at this point he has enjoyed the money, and even if the Feds managed to find him through DNA if any was found he would probably laugh in their faces, aside from the question of statute of limitations, on the various charges.
1980 a kid found 6000 dollars on the beach off the Columbua River that happens to be the money Cooper parachuted with. I doubt he survived the landing.
Oh, it's itsy bitsy. That's an exact science. Dry clean a tie that cost $1.49? This case will not be reopened, as they don't want to expose who was actually responsible.
That was stated many years ago.
Let the man be...he is the first jet age OG...did not hurt anyone.. except maybe himself...and has all the investigave agencies still butt hurt fifty years later ... see you in Ariel WA...on Nov 24 for D B Cooper day...at the Ariel tavern...
In other breaking news, they also found some seat fibers, so clearly he was having an affair with one of the seamstresses…… oh wait, I guess it could’ve come from the plane… that he was on…..
I can't believe they're still going after this guy. He didn't kill anyone, he just hijacked a plane and held it for ransom. But it's now been over 50 YEARS since this happened.
You do the crime, your nuts are mine!

I know where DB Cooper is: in your refrigerator, go check.
Seriously though: he's topsoil in the forest after being eaten & digested by a bear or puma after being stranded out in the woods with only a briefcase of money for sustenance.
UFC legend Chael Sonnen literally offered to solve this case (knows the family involved) and y'all are still chasing bread crumbs for no reason 😂
Ok alex jones
Bunch of people has said the same thing 😂😅
I was thinking that same thing, but with Chael it’s hard to know if he’s playing or not
I like Chael Sonnen, but the last time he told the truth was in the last century!
I think it's pretty consistent, there's a half dozen videos starting as far back as 10 years ago. If Abdullah would take the time to do any real research he could find them before talking his mess.
People bought clip-on ties back in the day so you could easily clip it on an off. What if he laid that tie on the seat that 100 previous engineers had sat in and it picked a particle up? This alone doesn't prove anything.
Thought he escaped with Michael, Link and T-Bag?
A very dear friend of mine who passed away 2 years ago, knew who D.B. Cooper really was. They were close friends at one time and he told me details that only he and Cooper would know. The real D.B. Cooper was Bobby Rackstraw.
God, I hope this is true.
@@UA-camCritic I have no reason to doubt my friend.
On the other hand, I have many reasons to doubt an internet comment lol
My grandfather was DB Cooper. He was a founder of the Oregon skydivers organization. He was a truck driver. He was a green baret army ranger. He was in the Korean war. He had a commercial pilots license. The money was in a shoe box He had in the back of his hanger for about 10 years before he threw it out of a plane over the lake near where he angered his cesna. With the money he bought opal mine and a condominium with the money that he ended up losing to divorce. The name he used l get the ticket AFTER ALL THESE YEARS WAS DUNCAN not Dan!! The money was a government payroll. The door was down before takeoff. He was the first man in the US military to test jump the 737 for the air force. Full bird Colonel Jennifer Reves his neice who ran the 341st missile division in Montana has video footage of my grandfather jumping out of planes. The parachutes are buried in metal drums near the Seattle airport. He jumped shortly after takeoff. He was a pro skydiver. It was his favorite hobby. He helped to blow the Hangang bridge in Korea. He knew explosives very well. He was a member of a well known biker club. He used to smoke and loved bourbon but converted to mormonism in his latter years. He was born in 1936. MY GRANDFATHER WAS DB COOPER.
I knew the real DB Cooper had to be a real badass.I just watched the last clown claiming to be him on another Documentary. That guy was a career criminal and a bum. I said no way.
Well idk how your grandfather was DB Cooper when actually MY grandfather was DB Cooper. Psh
Fun fact - British hospitals did a study about dirty things in hospital, one of the worst was the ties the consultants wore as they went from patient to patient.
