Famous Author and Blogger Makes the Minneapolis Star-Tribune

Thanks to Steve Stilwell for the tip.

How the D.B. Cooper mystery got a Minnesota twist: "Thirty-six years after Cooper disappeared into the night, America is still fascinated by the case. There are scores of websites, books, movies and songs. The country's only unsolved hijacking has become an iconic back story for everyone who has dreamed of getting away with something or getting away from everything.

'In my case, the fascination is with an unsolved crime that's stuck in my memory for all these years,' said Bill Crider, an author who also has an online pop culture magazine. 'I'm a mystery writer, so I like solutions.'"

Apropos of (actual) coincidence, JOURNEYMAN week before last did its D.B. Cooper episode. Coopermania has commenced...either that, or JOURNEYMAN will be doing its Bigfoot or crocodilian episode soon, if they got it in the can before the WGA strike...
