Hopefully soon we’ll get a release date for Volume 3 of the Netflix series. When they announced it last year, it was supposed to be released this summer.

More like DB Cooper WHO Are You? Lol.

I have always been fascinated with this case so I look forward to the Netflix docu.

As far as Volume 3 of Unsolved I am not holding my breath on it. Netflix cancelled a lot of planned shows due to their loss of subscribers and financial decline. Unsolved wasn't exactly a big hit but hopefully we at least get one more season.

Production on Volume 3 is complete. Besides, docuseries are cheap to produce. Netflix has been cancelling their scripted series, which cost a lot more to produce.

I hope this is an objective look at the evidence and not something along the lines of a Discovery Channel special where they have their suspect and shoehorn things to fit.

Or like TIGHAR coming out every 2 years with an announcement about the Earhart case being "Solved"

And.. It was.. Interesting. Finally got around to watching it.

Long story short, first episode is background, second and third really focused on Colbert and his investigation trying to tie Rackstraw to being DB Cooper.

Which.. I was thinking "Where's the evidence putting him in the area and/or where's the money?"

Neither of which they had anything on. Then.. When they started talking about how many investigators they had on the 'team'.. Something clicked with me.

The 'team' is the same one who recently 'solved' the Zodiac case.

I get nothing but TIGHAR vibes from them.

When you're relying on someone who 'broke the code' and someone comes along and says that the code matches "I am Spongebob Squarepants" as well.. That's not good evidence.

Quality documentaries are actually not particularly cheap to produce. Poor quality documentaries are cheap to produce, but since Netflix subscribers don't really care either way that is not a problem.
I am not sure I would call these a documentary so much as a docudrama, more akin to some of the more recent history channel programs. Presenting highly questionable research or theories as near fact and "solving" cases...

That guy needs serious mental help. Already had the other documentary where they came in & discredited his case piece by piece, he couldn't accept it & it was obvious he was going to keep harassing the guy. Even after death he will not leave him in peace.

Well, that may be going a BIT far.. But, at the root of things, you are correct. They even talked about it in the documentary, at least one guy did. Confirmation Bias. Colbert and his team are shining examples of that.


FWIW.. You all can now see the total 180 I've done on this Case Breakers team. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt when they first reported the Zodiac stuff.. But.. Yeah.. No benefits for them anymore.

I stopped I think half way through the second episode.

Nothing new, nothing insightful, a bunch of conspiracy nuts with shades of Q running around accusing and harassing strangers that they're DB Cooper. Stupid.

Felt like that CBS JonBenet debacle. Maybe someone'll sue, it'd serve them right.

Give a watch to the 4th episode. I'm with you.. E2 was WAY too focused on Rackstraw. I was hoping it would delve into the other suspects, but it didn't. Then E3 was all about that guy Colbert and him crying that noone took him seriously.

But.. E4 had.. I thought that was interesting. It focused on the 'legacy' of Cooper and the case. So.. I'd ask you to watch that one, knowing you're not really going to LEARN much about the case.. Everything is basically out there and has been other than some of the newer crackpot theories.

But.. My opinion.. E4 is worth a watch. Give it a shot just to come back and ask me what the hell I was thinking if you didn't like it. I'd kinda like to see if others share my opinion and got enjoyment from that one.

D.B., D.B. Coo, where are you?
You’ve got a plane to loot now.
D.B., D.B. Coo, where are you?
It’s time to parachute now.

(You’re welcome.)

Awful. How the hell did this get made on a platform like Netflix? These "citizen sleuths" seemed rather unhinged.

And not nearly as important, but I found the overall presentation and graphic design cheap and tacky. I had to watch the Stack UM episode afterwards to cleanse.

Not f&%ing Rackstraw again. He was just some attention-seeking turd who lived to regret his stupidity.

I won't even hit the play button on the preview for this. No, thanks.

As fascinating as this case is, I'm pretty much D.B. Coopered out. So is the FBI. Give us something compelling and I'll jump right back in with a sewn-up parachute.

Dude died. The end.

Yeah, I'm in your camp on this one by now. Logic dictates it.

Hoping his body didn't wash out to sea and that he may one day be found and identified through genetic genealogy. That would be incredibly fascinating. You have to wonder if he's listed as a missing person on NamUS or Charley.

My theory.. He's not on NamUS, perhaps on Charley. I say that because I lean heavily to Cooper being Canadian.

I think he was Canadian military or ex-military. I base this off the "Dan Cooper" name, the fact that he asked for the ransom in US Currency (I don't remember the exact content of the note)

As far as finding a body.. Washing out to sea is the least of the worries, IMO. The possibility that he may have jumped in the path of destruction of Mount Saint Helens would be my bigger concern.

This is one of those cases that will always be problematic. Because they don't even know for certain that they have his DNA. They pulled partial DNA from the tie clip, I believe it was, which is ASSUMED to be his, but could also be contamination.

I 100% believe he's dead. About 99.9% thinks he died in the jump, and I leave open that .1% chance that he actually survived.. But my favorite line from that documentary.. "He'd be 95 years old and smoked like a chimney. He's dead."

If he's Canadian, he would almost likely not be on Charley, either. Very few Canadians are profiled on there, and this is only done under special circumstances, such as "Canadian, but last seen in America".

Wow, being Canadian myself, I never honed in on the specific mention of "U.S. currency". Great catch there. That doesn't immediately mean he was Canadian, but the probability is the greatest if non-American with no discernable accent.

And yes, the Mount St. Helens factor is a strong possibility to consider.

The case is endlessly fascinating, except for all these wack jobs who keep pushing their ridiculous theories to the forefront. Apparently, society is so hungry for anything new (to them) that they'll watch more about this idiot Rackstraw. If I ever catch wind of that name, the TV or computer goes off in a hurry. To this end, I'm tired of the case. Everyone is just going around in circles. Any of the more recent suspects are just worse and worse choices.

Kenny Christiansen was one suspect who I could never rule out. Likely not him, but he's the closest in my mind.

I don't think logic dictates that "he died", any argument that begins with "logic dictates" is not an argument.

The only evidence of his death is the fact that the money never showed up in circulation indicating it had been spent. Beyond that there is nothing indicating he died, no body, no witness, nothing.

So the rest of it comes down to a probability argument about making the jump and surviving. The FBI always leaned toward this being impossible, but clearly they did not lean too much as they kept the case active for many decades anyway.

Not sure about him being a foreigner on the basis of how he referred to the currency. Seems like saying U.S. Currency is a way to put emphasis on it in a demand, something that many Americans might conceivably do in such a setting.

Not overly likely in my eyes. People from the US are US-centric. The world revolves around the US. We'd NEVER use "American" or "US" Currency or anything like that. Maybe, if someone is in areas like Buffalo or Seattle or Detroit, they can speak to this more as those would obviously be the most likely areas for that terminology to be used. I've been in all of them and never heard it used, but I've never lived in those areas.

And every American reading this right now is sitting there nodding their head going.. "Yep.. That's true".. And every Canadian reading it is sitting there going "He's right, eh!"

Obviously, anything's possible, but the odds go way, way down that an American, on US soil, would refer to "US Currency". We'd just say "$200,000 dollars". Half (or more) of Americans probably don't even know that Canadians use a dollar or that it's a different dollar.

Then, throw in the Dan Cooper references.. If that, legit, is a reference to the comic books.. Few, if any Americans were aware of that.

I tend to agree.. The argument comes down to whether he survived.. and I'd say it's unlikely. Not for any time. We're talking lived more than a month after jumping out of the plane. I give possibility he survived the jump and died of exposure in the wilderness or landed in water and the parachute and money drug him under or other things where he died (somewhat) quickly after the jump.

everyone, i think, has to pretty much agree that he'd almost certainly be dead here in 2022. Regardless of whether you think he survived the jump or not.

Canadian military who went AWOL or Canadian former military missing around 1972.. Those would be the ones I'd want to look at.

As an American I can say I have used the term "US Currency" more than once in my life for one reason or another. Its used for effect.

.

How is that not logic dictating that he didn't survive?

How do you not spend a single bill of the money? Why would you even steal it then?

Logic would dictate that if you went to the effort to hijack a plane for ransom and sky dive off with the money you intend to use said money.

I think he survived the jump but was tracked and eaten by Sasquatch. :D

As far as finding a body.. Washing out to sea is the least of the worries, IMO. The possibility that he may have jumped in the path of destruction of Mount Saint Helens would be my bigger concern.



That’s an interesting point. However, I think in order for that to be the case they would have had to have greatly miscalculated his expected landing zone. It’s generally speculated to be in the Ariel/Lake Merwin area, which is about 20 miles southwest of Mt St Helens, as the crow flies. When it blew, it blew its northern flank, and most of the ash, mudflow and debris went north and east of the mountain. I’m not sure there would have been enough damage to the lake Merwin area to bury evidence of DB Cooper, if in fact that is the vicinity of his landing. Now if they were way off on his landing area and he landed north or east of the mountain, then yes I agree that could be very likely that the evidence and body were likely destroyed in the eruption
