DB Cooper’s Identity Revealed

Gregory Hall

Retired FBI Special Agent


Upon retiring from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the author returned to Nevada. Less than a year after retiring, he was challenged by local retirees to solve the DB Cooper skyjacking. Somewhat reluctantly, he looked into the legend of the infamous, unsolved criminal hijacking of a commercial airliner. 

The author draws from his life’s experiences, to include serving 24 years as an FBI Special Agent and especially as a former US Army paratrooper. His search clearly and plausibly convinces the reader that DB Cooper executed the skyjacking, not as a criminal act but as a military operation. 

The author’s use of a military operation plan (OPLAN), provides the break needed to fit the pieces of the DB Cooper legend together. The OPLAN served as the template for his new theory, which itself served as the roadmap in locating DB Cooper. Follow his steps as he finally completes this jigsaw puzzle of a crime after 50 years of effort by law enforcement authorities. This investigation takes unexpected and intriguing twists and turns that will certainly catch the reader by surprise. When DB Cooper is finally “unmasked,” his identity will be a shock to everyone.
