WOODINVILLE, Washington – A homicide investigation has been launched
after the discovery of a body in the home owned by the man who packed
the parachutes for infamous airplane hijacker D.B. Cooper (picture).
The man’s daughter called police Friday evening after finding her
father’s body inside the garage at the home, located in the 15000 block
of NE 192nd Street, said a King County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson.
The man, who has not been identified but is believed to be in his
70s, had obvious head trauma, according to the King County Sheriff’s
Office.
His death originally was called “suspicious,” then was ruled a
homicide Saturday morning. Deputies would not comment on why
investigators ruled the death a homicide, but did say that there’s
enough things that don’t add up.
When DB Cooper hijacked a passenger jet from Portland, Ore., to
Seattle in 1971, demanding $200,000 and four parachutes, it was Cossey
who packed the chutes.
After asking to be flown to Mexico, Cooper jumped out somewhere near
the Oregon line. Despite intensive searches, no sign of Cooper ever
emerged. Full Article
