MoistCr1TiKaL Reacts to the D.B. Cooper Heist Mystery

This has to be the most gangster exit in criminal history. The guy, who we only know as D. B. Cooper, hijacks a 727, gets his $200,000 ransom, and then just... jumps out the back of the plane mid-flight with a parachute. LEMMiNO's documentary on this absolute madman is a masterpiece of rabbit-hole content, and it lays out just how baffling this entire case is. You're talking about a dude in a business suit who calmly pulls off a heist at 10,000 feet and simply vanishes into the night. The level of planning, or maybe just pure, uncut confidence, is something you just don't see anymore. It's the kind of story that sounds fake, but it actually happened, which makes it a million times crazier. The theories about who he was are where things get truly wild. LEMMiNO presents a bunch of suspects, and some of them seem like they're straight out of a terrible spy movie. There's one guy who made a deathbed confession, but the details didn't quite line up. Another suspect was an experienced paratrooper whose own family thought he did it. As penguinz0, I'm always looking for the dumbest possible explanation, but even the most logical theories here have massive holes. This entire moistcr1tikal breakdown is just me trying to wrap my head around how someone could pull this off so cleanly in 1971 without leaving a single trace. What really gets me is that the dude was never found. Not a body, not a parachute, nothing except for a small bundle of the ransom money discovered by a kid years later. That discovery only deepens the mystery. Did he die in the wilderness, or did he make it to a beach somewhere sipping margaritas for the rest of his life? Every clue just leads to another dead end. This case is the ultimate unsolved 'what if,' a perfect crime that has stumped everyone for over 50 years. It’s one of those true stories that’s way better than any movie, a masterclass in ghosting the entire planet.
