FBI Closes D.B. Cooper Case Unsolved

After 45 Years, All Credible Leads Exhausted, Bureau Says

After 45 years and following hundreds of leads, the FBI has officially closed the D.B. Cooper case, leaving it unsolved.

On November 24, 1971, a man who said his name was Dan Cooper famously hijacked a Boeing 727 which he boarded at Portland (OR) International Airport. He demanded $200,000 and four parachutes, and after getting the money, he jumped from the airplane and was never seen or heard from again.

While Cooper vanished, some of the money he was given was found and identified through serial numbers on the bills.

Now, according to the Associated Press, the FBI says that it has "exhaustively reviewed all credible leads" over the past 45 years, and will be redirecting the resources it has been using on the Cooper to "other priorities."

The Bureau says that over the past 45 years, it has conducted searches, interviewed all identified witnesses, collected all available evidence, and chased an immense number of tips ... but has not been able to identify the hijacker.
