D.B. Since D.B. Cooper’s fame began over 50 years ago, the identity of this man has eluded investigators as well as members of public. Recent indications have shown that his search is on the right track. Private investigator Eric Ulis claims to be very close to solving this mystery thanks to a seemingly microscopic metal piece discovered in his laboratory.
Breakthrough in Investigation
Eric Ulis has made a significant breakthrough in his investigation. Ulis’ findings show that the metal fragments on Cooper are linked to a Pittsburgh factory that was producing parts for Boeing aircraft at the time Cooper’s hijacking occurred. This further strengthens theories that Cooper may have been involved in aviation terminology during this incident.
Vince Peterson, a titanium research engineer who died at age 52 and was working at Pittsburgh Metals Factory when the hijacking occurred, often traveled between Seattle and Pittsburgh to work. This fits several of D.B. Cooper would have been 52 years old and a height of 5’10” at the time of the hijacking. This adds another interesting detail to Ulis investigation. Ulis admits that while compelling, this evidence is not conclusive but adds to their investigation.
Skepticism, the Way Forward
Ulis’ evidence is still questioned by Peterson family members, and other investigators. Peterson son has expressed doubts about Peterson being involved in the hijacking. It’s not uncommon for investigators to be uncertain when it comes to high-profile cases, where evidence is so important. Ulis’s primary goal and that of other investigators was to link any new clues back conclusively with Peterson.
Ulis, and investigators like him, continue to search tirelessly for answers. New leads are emerging. For example metal fragments that have been linked to Peterson may shed light on what happened during D.B. Cooper’s hijacking gives hope that one of America’s most enduring mysteries may finally be solved. People eagerly await the conclusion of investigations in hopes that one of America’s greatest mysteries will finally be solved.
