KingRevolver Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 FBI announced this past week that they officially closed the case after 45 years. Anyway, the History Channel had a two-part series on it. Watching it now. Very interesting so far! Recommend it... Part 1- In 1971, D.B. Cooper hijacks a Northwest Orient flight bound for Seattle and demands $200,000 in cash, then he jumps from the plane, never to be seen again; investigators reveal new information through interviews with experts and insiders.

Bfo Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Yeah I watched it too. Normally with these type things the guy is dead and that's why the case has been cold for years. Don't think so with this one, there was another suspect awhile back that was a dead ringer, forget what happened to him. I watch/read pretty much every Jack the Ripper theory thing as well. Historical crimes fascinate me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRevolver Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 You know much about the Black Dahlia, pal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfo Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 You know much about the Black Dahlia, pal?Funny, that's another one that gets widespread pub, lots of theories floating around. It was so much easier to get away with these type crimes before DNA was around. They didn't even have fingerprint technology in the Jack the Ripper era.

KingRevolver Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I guess I agree that it was easier, sure, especially for dumb criminals... but nowadays, all this technology also helps criminals. They know what they need to do or not do to minimize their chances of being caught. It's always going to be a cat-and-mouse game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Square Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I enjoyed this as well was well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfo Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Criminals in that era were also stupid enough to send letters to the papers daring cops to catch them. In any time period the guys that are going to get away with it are the ones that target random victims that they have no prior connection to.

KingRevolver Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Zodiac murders are another one. But I can't remember if they actually arrested the guy or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfo Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Zodiac killer never caught. Green River Killer and BTK were. These guys have different mentalities (obviously) than you and I. The one thing in common they all seem to have are authority issues. I used to buy all the true crime shit, read about every Manson title there is. Fascinating insight into the human mind.

KingRevolver Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Manson never really interested me much. I know he wanted to be a rock star, and even hung out a couple times with famous rock bands... he failed and flipped out. The chicks were just a little too weird. Serial killers are another subject that always caught my interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Raver Camper Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 That pic of the zodiac killer creeps me out. The one in his garb. Btk was an idiot. F these people anyway. People who do shit like this should be killed slowly, along with sexual deviants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I watched it as well. Anybody know why there was no fingerprint evidence? I understand how the cigarettes were contaminated and worthless in modern day forensic testing. The dude had no gun as far as we know - when Tina left the plane to get the money - the rest of the crew should have bailed right with her.

Hangover Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Do they explain how he knew the plane had 200k on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartman Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Do they explain how he knew the plane had 200k on it? The money and parachutes were brought to the plane after it landed in Seattle/Portland. He threatened to explode the bomb and kill a bunch of passengers and crew if they didn't meet his demands.

Guest ChrisHarvard Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Elliot in the morning was talking about this last week. Interesting story. They marked all the $20 bills, how did he spend them and avoid capture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRevolver Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Actually, that Richard McCoy guy made the most sense. I mean come on... the guy pulled the EXACT same thing 5 months later. That time he jumped out with $500k, but he was busted... and died in the shootout with authorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
