I’m not sure the FBI is so concerned about this claim when the memo release tomorrow might stain the bureau, but it’s worth taking a look at.
Last month, a team led by Tom Colbert claimed a Vietnam vet now in his 70s named Robert Rackstraw was DB Cooper…
What spurred their speculation: the deciphering of code on five letters DB Cooper sent after the hijacking. Some of the broken code led back to military units Rackstraw served in in Vietnam, but new decryptions include “a startling claim” that “if captured, he expects a get-out-of-jail card from a federal spy agency,” Colbert said in a release, per the New York Daily News.
Per Colbert, one decryption read: “IF CATCH I AM CIA…RWR,” the last set of letters being Rackstraw’s initials. Colbert also put together a timeline of what he believes to have been Rackstraw’s CIA missions, running from 1969 and possibly up through the ’80s, when the Iran-Contra affair took place, and notes other CIA ties to Rackstraw. Backing him are FOIA records from the Pentagon that show Rackstraw received 400 hours of Green Beret training in special forces and psychological operations.
One deciphered message read, “drink… your… Ovaltine…”
Did the FBI send out a deliberately bad rendering of Cooper? This guy looks like a Green Beret like Don Knotts does.
RWR?!
You mean, Ronald Wilson Reagan was DB Cooper?!?!?
Ever wonder why you never saw D.B.Cooper and Sasquatch in the same place at the same time? Think about it.
I did see sasquatch a lot on the tee vee during the Obama years for some reason. Probably a coincidence.
Vietvet is peeking through His Curtains as We speak…
It was just a random Car turning around in Your Driveway…
Or was it?
I still remember 1st hearing about DB Cooper hijacking that Boeing 727 right after it happened (the Wed. night before Thanksgiving 1971) from Paul Harvey on the news while a friend and I were coming home from Portland to Spokane. I still don’t know what to think about this whole thing, maybe someday someone will really figure it out.
Hell. DB Cooper was probably in upper FBI management during the Obama years.
@Bcattin: I deny everything. Besides, I couldn’t possibly be D.B. Cooper because…uh…well…my parachute didn’t open! Yeah, that’s it – the guy’s parachute probably failed him. Nothing to see here, random cars…
