On November 24th, 1971, somewhere over Oregon, Dan “D.B.” Cooper parachuted out of the Northwest Airlines Jet he had hijacked with $200,000 in cash, and into what would turn out to be one of history’s most notorious unsolved crimes. D.B. Cooper was never seen again, but $5,800.00 of his ransom money was found on a bank of the Columbia River on February 10, 1980. Who was this man calling himself Dan Cooper, was it even possible to survive a jump from that altitude and in that freezing and stormy weather, and if so – why was the perpetrator (dead or alive) never found? In D.B. Cooper Case Exposed, former Captain and Secret Service Coordinator with the California Highway Patrol, author George C. Nuttall examines all the evidence available, and discovers that an astonishing case filled with poor police work, missing documents, lies, and cover-ups that may implicate some of the most powerful people in the country at that time – including, congressmen, mafia Dons, and even the FBI and J. Edgar Hoover himself. We may never know exactly who D.B. Cooper was, why he did what he did, and whether or not he survived his infamous leap into the history books –- but this book will disclose amazing evidence of who Cooper was, why he made his near-certain suicide jump, and why the FBI has not reportedly solved this skyjacking.
George C. Nuttall spent his adult life working in law enforcement, first with the San Diego Police Department, and then the California Highway Patrol (CHP). In 1983 he retired from the CHP after having achieved the rank of Captain, and having worked and trained extensively with both the FBI and acted as the CHP coordinator for the Secret Service. This is Mr. Nuttall’s second book, his first book is a memoir of his career entitled Cops, Crooks, and Other Crazies.
