  • The FBI investigation into the infamous D.B. Cooper incident
  • America's only unsolved plane hijacking
  • officially ended in 2016. But federal law enforcement may be regaining interest in the case after examining a parachute rig long hidden inside a family's storage.

The article from Popular Science discusses the enduring mystery of D.B. Cooper, who in 1971 hijacked a plane, demanded $200,000 and parachutes, and then parachuted into oblivion with the money, never to be seen again. Despite extensive searches, neither Cooper nor the majority of the ransom money has been found, except for a small amount discovered along the Columbia River in 1980. The article highlights a recent development where a team of amateur sleuths, led by Eric Ulis, has been granted permission to search for Cooper's parachute in a specific area near Vancouver, Washington, based on new leads suggesting that Cooper might have landed there. This search is part of a broader effort to solve one of America's most infamous unsolved crimes, with Ulis and his team focusing on a location where they believe the parachute could have been discarded or lost during Cooper's escape.
