D.B. Cooper was a guy who, in the early 1970's, hijacked a plane and held the passengers hostage for (I think) $10 thousand. After he got the money, he let the passengers go, and forced the pilot to go back into the air.
Somewhere between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, Cooper grabbed a parachute and jumped out of the plane. Nobody's seen him since.

I watched a show where they're pretty sure they identified who D.B. Cooper really was, and that he survived the jump.
Not sure I'll wear the pin unless I go to some kind of convention (though I'd be afraid I'd lose it). I was definitely thrilled to find it again! I was almost sure by this point that I'd lost it, as I expected to find it with the other stuff!
Somewhere I have 1 more item. *trembles and looks at the garage*

I learn such interesting things hanging out here. Just read the Wikipedia summary - what a fascinating cold case!

Considering all the "unsolved mystery" shows and "what ever happened to --?" programs my mom made me watch as a kid, I'm surprised nobody else seems to have heard of him!
