Has there been any new developments with the DB Cooper highjacking?

Answer 1

Skip Porteous (PI) and Robert Blevins claim they have discovered the identity of the famous hijacker. In their book Into The Blast they name the former NorthWest Airline employee Kenneth Christiansen as DB Cooper. Contacted by Christiansen's 77 year old brother Lyle Christiansen they researched Kenneth extensively. He was a former paratrooper in the military and as an employee of the same airline that Cooper hijacked, he knew the plane which allowed him to successfully make the jump and survive.

Although the FBI feels differently, saying Christiansen did not resemble the composite drawings so eliminated him on that evidence alone. Porteous and Blevins were requested by the FBI to forward any evidence they had to back up the claims. They sent an envelope and stamp with DNA but have received no word from. The proof will be in the DNA to either prove or disprove Christiansen was DB Cooper.

Interesting Fact:At the time of the hijacking Christiansen was not working steady due to a strike. After the crime Christiansen suddenly bought a house in Bonney Lake, WA and paid cash.

Answer 2

No, there have been no significant new developments in the DB Cooper hijacking case. The identity of DB Cooper remains unknown, and the case is still considered one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history.
