FBI investigates 'credible' D.B. Cooper lead; tip comes 40 yrs after hijacker jumped from jet
By Associated Press
August 1, 2011 SEATTLE (AP) — The FBI says it has a "credible" lead in the D.B. Cooper case involving the 1971 hijacking of a passenger jet over Washington state and the suspect's legendary parachute escape. The fate and identity of the hijacker dubbed "D.B. Cooper" has remained a mystery in the 40 years since a man jumped from a Northwest Orient Airlines 727 flight with $200,000 in ransom. The recent tip provided to the FBI came from a law enforcement member who directed investigators to a person who might have helpful information on the suspect, FBI spokeswoman Ayn Sandalo Dietrich told TheSeattle Times on Sunday. She called the new information the "most promising lead we have right now," but cautioned that investigators were not on the verge of breaking the case. "With any lead our first step is to assess how credible it is," Sandalo Dietrich told the Seattle Post Intelligencer on Saturday. "Having this come through another law enforcement (agency), having looked it over when we got it - it seems pretty interesting." Read more: chicago tribune |

I agree with you grid. This is a waist of time and money. Beside isn't the statute of limitations passed? So even if they did find him there is nothing that can be done.

From what I have read it seems the Feebs are investigating a person of the deceased condition.

"This is a waist of time and money."
It's good to keep abreast of things and to get those monkey on your back off your chest. Just be careful not to stick your neck out too far, so you don't cut off your nose to spite your face.
