re: D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?!

think the money came from a ransom package kept at banks so all of the bills were marked and had their serial numbers logged. Apart from the bundle found at the river, none of those bills have ever been identified in circulation meaning it's unlikely they were ever spent. Pretty strong evidence he never survived the jump and wound up being composted into the Washington forest.

Even the FBI says that’s not a good reason for believing Cooper died. Only for the first few months did banks in PNW check serial numbers, so he could have stayed low and spent all the money on the east coast very easily.
