Speaking of D.B. Cooper...

Seems some guy from Minnesota, Lyle Christansen, is convinced that his
brother Kenny was D.B. Cooper. Kenny Christansen is in fact a dead
ringer for Cooper, was an army paratrooper, bought a house in Buckley,
WA, with cash that he never explained where it came from, and he worked
for Northwest Airlines. On his deathbed he started to tell Lyle that
there was something he had done that Lyle should know, but then he died.
Kenny Christansen died in 1994 of cancer. The house is now a sign shop.
Last I heard, some woman in Florida said she discovered the man she was
married to for 20 years was Cooper. Don't know what ever happened to
this story.
My guess is that he went into one of those lakes that dot the
countryside where he baled, got tangled up in the shrouds and drowned.
I think someone found some of the money in a stream bed some time ago.
This one will hang in there with some of the other unsolved mysteries of
our time.
Perhaps someday it will get solved :-)
