They originally sink then surface later, the body could have hooked on something because of clothing or the parachute straps. He could have also floated ashore and the wildlife consumed him and scattered the bones. Not sure of the wildlife in that area but around me a full size deer carcass can get picked clean in 24 hours just from vultures.

A team of former FBI investigators is claiming to have proof of the real identity of D.B. Cooper, the notorious airplane hijacker who has remained at large since he parachuted out of a Seattle-bound plane with $200,000 in November 1971. According to filmmaker and author Thomas Colbert – who has led the independent investigation into the cold case for the last seven years – the real Cooper is a 74-year-old Vietnam veteran named Robert Rackstraw. And the proof is hidden in a series of letters allegedly written by Cooper in the months after the hijacking and his disappearance.

Is there a statute of limitations on a hijacking? I didn't think it would be a good idea to Google for that.

If I recall correctly, the documentary that ran last year named Rackstraw as potentially being DB Cooper. When she was shown photos of Rackstraw, she said that it was not the same guy. There does appear to be a lot of circumstantial evidence, but the FBI has already determined that it does not connect Rackstraw to the crime.

I was always fascinated with unsolved crimes as a kid, another one around the same time was the Zodiac Killer, he operated in the same state I lived in at the time so that got a lot of coverage.

For you nervous Nellies who are afraid of a knock at the door, air piracy has a 5 year statute of limitations but a smart FBI agent got Cooper indicted on something called the Hobbs Act which involves extortion of interstate commerce, on which there is no statute of limitations.

Hope that answers your question.Now you'll have to excuse me as the doorbell just rang...
