D.B. Cooper Update

Was D.B. Cooper a resident of Ogden? | KATU.com - Portland, Oregon | Local & Regional: "OGDEN, Utah (AP) - An attorney who is writing a book about the D.B. Cooper investigation claims the legendary hijacker who vanished from the back of a passenger jet with $200,000 in ransom in 1971 survived and returned to his life as a college instructor in Ogden.

Federal investigators are aware of the claim and are treating it like more than 1,000 other leads they have checked out over the last 36 1/2 years. They're skeptical that the late William 'Wolfgang' Gossett pulled off the heist many others have claimed to but were found to be hoaxes.

'There is not one link to the D.B. Cooper case other than the statements (Gossett) made to someone,' said FBI Special Agent Larry Carr, who is overseeing the Cooper investigation."
