Essay / Research Paper Abstract
6 pages in length. Thanksgiving Day, 1971, found people across the country - and likely around the world - discussing the daring hijacking pulled off the day before by Dan Cooper, a passenger on flight 305 of Northwest Airlines who - while in the process of paying the flight attendant for his drinks also handed her an extortion note - jumped ship, so to speak, with $200,000 ransom money and - as far as anyone can say with certainty - was never seen or heard from again. Indeed, there are more than a few theories about what ultimately happened after Cooper leapt from the Boeing 747 with little more than a standard parachute, however, any concrete evidence has long eluded the authorities. The interminable dead ends pursued by the FBI served to fuel the fire of speculation and intrigue into a case that had authorities from all ranks and departments combing "dense hemlock forests north of Portland" (Pasternack, 2000) only to come up defeated and empty-handed five months later. Cooper has since metamorphosed into a folk icon of sorts after more than three and a half decades of a case that will, in all likelihood, never be solved. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

three and a half decades of a case that will, in all likelihood, never be solved. "After receiving his booty at the Seattle-Tacoma Airport, the man released the 36
passengers and two members of the flight crew. He ordered the pilot and remaining crew to fly to Mexico. At 10,000 feet, with winds gusting at 80 knots
and a freezing rain pounding the airplane, Dan Cooper-mistakenly identified as D.B. Cooper by a reporter-walked down the rear stairs and parachuted into history" (Pasternack, 2000). II. DISCUSSION The
past thirty-five years have proven frustrating for high-ranking law enforcement officials whose sites were set on solving one of American historys most puzzling cases. No fewer than one thousand
suspects were interviewed, interrogated and thrust into the limelight of an investigation whereby the intent was to positively identify someone as Cooper and clean the egg of the face of
