DB Cooper's parachute found?

Source: Possible D.B. Cooper chute investigated

The FBI has obtained a parachute found where hijacker D.B. Cooper is believed to have jumped, and the bureau is seeking the public's help in what may be a major break in the world's only unsolved hijacking.

The parachute -- similar to the one Cooper jumped with -- was unearthed earlier this month after a Clark County man plowed part of the rural property he's owned for nearly a decade, said Larry Carr, the lead agent on the Cooper case. The man's children found the parachute when they were playing and Carr, who is based in Seattle, retrieved it from southwest Washington.

If it is his chute that's pretty cool. Have you ever seen the movie about him?

From what I've read the parachute was buried. Hum? Either he did survive the jump, or someone found him, took the money and buried the evidence.

Or it laid there for a couple of decades and got covered up.

Just read in the newspaper that it wasn't his parachute!

Yup. I guess his parachute was not silk like the one found, his was nylon.

I'd bet a lot of money that 'ol D.B. landed in the middle of the Columbia River and became fish food. I lived there at the time and there was absolutely no way that he survived the jump.

I read yesterday that a young boy who found bundles of $20 bills several years ago along the Columbia - 9that were confirmed to be from Cooper's ransom0 - is selling some of the bills for the first time. He'll make some money from collectors.
