Steve Fossett Missing

[avbug]

Fifty eight hundred bucks in 1980, the boy (Brian Ingram) was eight years old, and the FBI got the money. It was found just outside Vancouver.

The boy got a reward of 2,760 for turning the money over.

A year after "Cooper's" escapade, three others did the same, including a neighbor of mine, whom our family knew well.

In 1995, a man made a death bed confession that he was DB Cooper. After investigating this claim, the FBI said this was the strongest suspect they have come across, but nothing definitive enough to close the case.

Heard something new about the search on Fox this morning. They have picked out a new area to search based on new air force satellite data.

Very true, but the circumstantial evidence was overwhelming, the key word being circumstantial.

 

[Swass]

Yeah, totally the same. Only difference, one is a completely true story about a real person. The other is wild conjecture by a total nutjob. And in very poor taste I might add.

I knew DB Cooper was a true story, I was grasping straws as to his name when I typed that.

Whatever happened with the search?

Suspended.

 

[The_Russian]

That sucks. Can't his big bank account support a massive search?

 

[siucavflight]

I bet he will be all right.

Its not Gilligans Island, and the weather will be turning shortly in that region.

Statistics will show that if isn't foung alive by now, his chances are very slim. Some deer hunter in the next 5-7 years will stumble across the wreckage with some bones inside.

Ruskie, it doesn't matter on the bank account balance, the full resources of the US Government were expended on the search, and several earlier crashes were discovered during this effort.

By this point I think if there was any wreckage it would of been found by now. They were able to find the remains of every other crash from the past 50 years. IMHO, Steve Fossett is alive and well somewhere on someone's ranch in the middle of BFE doing his best to not be found. When he is done with his vacation, he will miraculously re appear. Just my $.02, and I'm normally not a conspiracy theorist.
