Has the parachute of the infamous skyjacker D.B. Cooper been found in rural Amboy, Washington? Many believe it's possible. This week, after children found a tattered half-buried parachute on their property, they called the FBI, thinking they may have found evidence of the infamous skyjacking crime.

History of the D.B. Cooper Skyjacking Mystery

On Nov. 24, 1971, the day before Thanksgiving, Northwest Orient Flight 305 took off from Portland, Oregon toward Seattle, Washington. As the airplane prepared for takeoff, a man wearing sunglasses handed a flight attendant a note. It said he had a bomb and would blow up the plane unless he was given $200,000 cash and four parachutes upon landing. This man, from Seat 18C, purchased his ticket under the name "Dan Cooper" (He was later mistakenly identified as D.B. Cooper by a reporter).

After the requested parachutes and money were delivered at the Seattle-Tacoma Airport, "Dan Cooper" released the passengers and two members of the flight crew. He ordered the pilot and remaining crew to fly to Mexico. Later, at 10,000 feet, with strong winter winds gusting and freezing rain pounding, Dan Cooper parachuted out of the airplane and into history.
