Sketches of D.B. Cooper from the FBI.

In 1971, a skyjacker parachuted out of a plane over Oregon with $200,000, and basically disappeared.

A huge manhunt didn’t find the suspect who came to be known as D.B. Cooper, although media outlets received a few letters supposedly from him after the fact.

Now, a filmmaker believes he’s found the real D.B. Cooper.

Dennis Wagner, an investigative reporter for the Arizona Republic, has written about this and about the Arizona connection to this suspect.
