Investigator may have found D.B. Cooper
An Investigator Claims to Have Found a Promising Lead in the D.B. Cooper Mystery
In the world of true crime investigations, few cases have captivated the public’s imagination quite like the infamous hijacking of Flight 305 by D.B. Cooper in 1971. Now, after years of tireless research, investigator Eric Ulis believes he may have uncovered a breakthrough in the search for Cooper’s true identity.
Ulis, known for his work on “History’s Greatest Mysteries,” has dedicated countless hours to unraveling the enigma of D.B. Cooper. This elusive figure threatened to blow up a commercial jet, demanded a hefty ransom of $200,000, and then made a daring parachute escape, never to be seen again. However, Ulis now claims to have stumbled upon a clue that could finally crack the case, as reported by Fox News.
During the hijacking, Cooper identified himself as “Dan,” but due to a miscommunication with a reporter, the name was mistakenly reported as “D.B.,” thus giving birth to the legendary moniker. Despite this, authorities have long believed that Dan Cooper was an alias. Ulis, however, believes he may have uncovered the true identity of the man behind the crime.
One of the few remnants left behind by Cooper was a clip-on tie, which Ulis believes may have been purchased from JCPenney for a mere $1.49. While the tie has been previously examined, Ulis believes that microscopic particles scraped from it could hold the key to identifying the hijacker. By utilizing state-of-the-art technology not available in 1971, scientists were able to analyze these particles and uncover a compelling story.
Ulis used these particles, along with U.S. patents, to trace three fragments back to Crucible Steel, a steel plant in Pennsylvania. This plant, headquartered in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, was a significant subcontractor throughout the 1960s, supplying titanium and stainless steel to Boeing for their aircraft.
According to Ulis, the evidence suggests that Cooper possessed intimate knowledge of the Boeing 727, the same type of aircraft he hijacked. Furthermore, it is believed that Cooper was familiar with Seattle, Washington, where the plane was scheduled to land. Crucible Steel workers frequently traveled to Seattle to visit Boeing, as the company had a contract with the steel plant.
Ulis acknowledges that these findings are not yet definitive, but he has identified a potential suspect for D.B. Cooper—a titanium research engineer from Crucible Steel who passed away in 2002. Ulis asserts that this individual can be placed in Seattle and at Boeing, making him a compelling person of interest worth further investigation.
It should be noted that Ulis has previously claimed to have leads on Cooper’s landing site and has even taken legal action against the FBI to gain access to evidence related to the unsolved hijacking. As the mystery of D.B. Cooper continues to captivate the world, Ulis remains determined to uncover the truth behind one of the most perplexing cases in aviation history.

What precautions should be taken when interpreting Ulis’s findings and what further investigation is needed to establish a concrete link between Rackstraw and the D.B. Cooper case
After years of studying eyewitness testimonies, flight data, and other pieces of evidence, Ulis has come across a crucial piece of information that could potentially lead to the unmasking of D.B. Cooper. He claims to have found a connection between the hijacker and a man named Robert Rackstraw, a former Army paratrooper and pilot.
Rackstraw, who has been a person of interest in the D.B. Cooper case for years, has a history that aligns closely with the profile of the hijacker. Not only was he a paratrooper, but he also had an extensive knowledge of planes and jump procedures, making him a prime suspect. Additionally, Rackstraw had undergone training in escape and evasion techniques during his military service, further supporting the theory that he could have successfully disappeared after the hijacking.
Ulis points to a series of encrypted messages that he believes are linked to Rackstraw and the hijacking. These messages, which were discovered in 2018, seem to contain hidden codes and references to the crime. Ulis has assembled a team of codebreakers, linguists, and experts in the field to decipher these messages, and they have made significant progress in cracking the codes.
Furthermore, Ulis has uncovered a photograph of Rackstraw from the 1970s that bears a striking resemblance to the composite sketches of D.B. Cooper. This visual similarity, combined with the evidence of Rackstraw’s background and the encrypted messages, has sparked hope among investigators that they may finally be closing in on the truth.
However, it is important to note that these findings are still being examined and verified by law enforcement agencies. Ulis acknowledges that more investigation is necessary to establish a concrete link between Rackstraw and the D.B. Cooper case. It is crucial to exercise caution and avoid jumping to conclusions prematurely.
Nevertheless, the work being done by Ulis and his team represents a significant step forward in the investigation into the D.B. Cooper mystery. Their dedication and perseverance in unraveling this decades-old enigma should be applauded. If their claims are substantiated, it could prove to be a breakthrough not only in solving the case but also in bringing closure to the victims and their families.
The D.B. Cooper case has fascinated the public for years, with countless theories and speculations surrounding the identity and fate of the hijacker. But to this day, the mystery remains unsolved. With Eric Ulis’s promising lead and the ongoing efforts of investigators, there is renewed hope that the truth behind one of the most captivating mysteries in history may finally be revealed.
