The theory involving the Japanese recovery of Amelia Earhart and her plane was present before the publication of the commemorative stamps by the Marshall Islands in 1987. The idea that Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, were captured by the Japanese after landing in the Marshall Islands or nearby areas had already been suggested, and it gained attention in the decades following their disappearance in 1937. So is it really note-worthy that an artist used known theories as inspiration for a commemorative stamp set 50 years later?
If he is Cooper - we will find out relatively soon. They have DNA from Cooper and he left a wife and multiple children that they can get DNA from eventually.
And if it doesn't match the dead guy, then if the FBI wanted to spend the time and money, they probably could find present relatives of DB Cooper with that DNA.
Correct - and I have read mixed opinions on whether this will happen at the effort of the FBI. I have read from some former agents that the FBI will likely do it so they can say that it is solved - but another former agent said it is unlikely because it was so long ago, and the FBI doesn't want it in the news cycle. I personally believe that a private person will do it - either to sell a television series or a book.
I admit it! I dropped the rocks in the shape of an airplane. I thought it would be a funny prank. I was just out in my boat full of rocks.
Forgive the tinfoil hat. You can't help but wonder if the Japanese got their hands on Earhart and her copilot. Many Saipan residents of the day swear the two were held captive there.
