| PEOPLE |
| WHERE ARE THEY NOW? |
| D.B. Cooper |
| (A lot has happened since D.B.
Cooper jumped out of a Boeing 727
clutching a bag filled with $200,000.
That was 1971, almost thirty years ago,
and we thought it was time to catch up
with the mysterious Mr. Cooper.) |
| Today he's a civil engineer, married,
with three kids, and lives in a Dallas
suburb. "I'm a big Cowboys
fan," he told us over the phone when
we asked him if he had a favorite
football team. However, when we asked
what he did with the $200,000, a lot of
money in those days, he acted as if he
had amnesia. Or maybe he just didn't want
to talk about it. That might also explain
why he lists himself as D.V. Cooperman in
the Dallas phone directory, where we
located him in the first place. But he
was delighted to hear from us. "This
is the biggest thing that's ever happened
to me," he said when told this
interview might appear on the Internet. |
