Description

For years, Richard Floyd McCoy Jr. has been one of the most popular D.B. Cooper suspects — but investigators say the evidence against him is overwhelming. Eric Ulis breaks down exactly why the FBI eliminated McCoy as a suspect early on. McCoy was 28 years old at the time of the skyjacking, while every witness described D.B. Cooper as a man close to 50. McCoy also spoke with a noticeable lisp — something none of the witnesses ever reported about Cooper. Most damning of all: every single person who interacted with D.B. Cooper on that flight was shown McCoy's photo by the FBI, and every one of them said the same thing — he was definitely not the man. Then there's the parachute. D.B. Cooper jumped with a Navy back rig (NB6). The parachute recently presented as evidence by McCoy's supporters is an Air Force rig — a completely different piece of equipment. The case for McCoy, Ulis argues, falls apart under even basic scrutiny. Eric Ulis is one of America's foremost D.B. Cooper investigators. He founded CooperCon, has appeared on Netflix, the History Channel, and CNN, and has spent over 20 years applying scientific analysis to crack the case.
