Today I saw a program about Dan Cooper who on the 24th of November 1931 abducted a Boeing passenger plane and threatened to blow it up if he’s not given 200 000 dollars. After getting the money he jumped with a parachute from 3000 meters in the middle of a dark, rainy night and disappeared into thin air. Hundreds and hundreds of astonished police officers have investigated the case and ended up in the conclusion that this crime will never be solved. To me it’s easy… as a time traveler I will tell you the following:
The crime was executed extremely well. The pilots, the stewardess and our main protagonist DB Dan Cooper were involved. Dan was related to one of the pilots and is still alive (88 years old today). As an unknown car salesman, DB/Dan Cooper played the leading role in the crime.
It’s been told that when the plane took off Dan ordered the pilots to lower the ramp in the cargo hold from where Dan jumped into the dark, cold night. Wrong. No one jumped from there. When the plane landed, Dan was hiding in the utility kitchen space of the plane with his parachutes and escaped a few hours later by foot. The bag of money was carried by one of the pilots and was divided between the participants three days later in an old school building.
Dan required four parachutes because they were prepared for a possible emergency landing caused by opening the ramp in the cargo hold. The parachutes were reserved for the two pilots, the stewardess and Dan Cooper himself. The money found at the sandbank were put there as a distraction afterwards.
No one is crazy enough to jump into the pitch black and cold night just like that. This should be told to the investigators so that they knew the jump never happened.
