It's interesting, but I believe it's been solved. Back in 2011 his niece came forward with some information and I think the FBI considers the case closed now. They believe he, real name LD Cooper, lost all, or nearly all, the money on his jump after some complications with his chute. Hence the reason none of the money made it back into circulation. His brother may have been involved also, perhaps at the drop zone. They lived approximately 7 miles away from where he came down and they both were supposed to be on a hunting trip together.
the DP cooper case is weird. I remember during an unsolved mysteries episode they said they did find money on the ground some time later, correct? I'm just surprised, since if that's the case couldn't they have tracked his movement by footprints, etc?
