D. B. Cooper in popular culture

A 1972 FBI composite drawing of D. B. Cooper

D. B. Cooper is a media epithet (actual pseudonym: Dan Cooper) used to describe an unidentified man who hijacked a Boeing 727 on November 24, 1971, extorted a US$200,000 ransom (equivalent to $1.17 million today.[1]), and parachuted to an unknown fate.[2] He was never seen again, and only $5,880 of the ransom money has been found. The skyjacking continues to influence popular culture, including references in books, film, and music.[3]
