So I watched the DB Cooper doc on Netflix
Jul. 20th, 2022 04:04 pmAnd it makes stunningly clear the exact points I've pointed out about Rackstraw. For a while the group was lying and saying Rackstraw contacted them and were doing a LOT of lying by omission.
( Live blog of my reactions to the Rackstraw portion )
A few notes:
* To me the key to the case is that no missing persons report is a possible match. That gives the Canadian theory more bite
* However, that Dan Cooper comic book was Belgian and had very small distribution. There is a reason why after decades of being being obsessive about this, even in the internet age, the possible connection wasn't made until recently. It sounds compelling, but it's one of those things where the more you look into it the less of a lead it seems.
* I didn't know there was a Cooper Con last year! I'd have gone and also restocked on t shirts. (Or did I know and the timing was just 'nope' due to pandemic? I actually have a vague recollection of it.)
* In the past 3 years there have been a few highly publicized 'D B Cooper revealed' press events of new suspects, including one I watched live. The one I watched was the dumbest pile of bull I'd ever seen. However, another about it being a specific air traffic controller fits more than any other theory I've heard and I am surprised it was left out. I am bad with names and haven't been keeping track of Cooper stuff since 2016, but there is a theory about it being a specific air traffic controller that basically made me go 'oh, that's likely and... disappointing.'
