According to the Seattle Times:
“The FBI is investigating a “credible” lead in the D.B. Cooper skyjacking case, nearly 40 years after a tall, dark-complexioned man hijacked a Seattle-bound Boeing 727 on Thanksgiving Eve 1971 and parachuted into history from the rear of the plane with $200,000 in cash.”
“We do have a promising lead,” FBI spokeswoman Ayn Sandalo Dietrich said Sunday, a day after a British newspaper reported the development in a lengthy feature story on the notorious case.”
Also, according to Dietrich, “The credible lead is somebody whose possible connection to the hijacker is strong. And the suspect is not a name that’s come up before.”
