Who was D.B. Cooper? In 1971 a man hijacked a Boeing 727, took $200,000 and jumped into the night. 55 years later the FBI still can't name him, and in December 2025 it quietly returned the Richard McCoy parachute without a word. The full story of America's only unsolved airplane hijacking: the note, the jump, the money in the sand, the tie, the Green Beret, and the parachute.
