The parachute used by the hijacker known as D.B. Cooper to leap out of a Boeing plane with $200,000 in cash after taking the passengers and crew hostage more than 50 years ago may have been found.

Sunday marked the 53rd anniversary of the only unsolved hijacking in U.S. aviation history. Now, years after the FBI declared the case inactive, the agency may be having another, informal look, examining evidence that has recently come to light, reports Cowboy State Daily in Wyoming. The evidence is a parachute found in an outbuilding on the family property of Richard McCoy II, whose children have long suspected their father was Cooper, they told the outlet.

The unassuming-looking man who would come to be known as D.B. Cooper bought a one-way ticket on Northwest Orient Airlines from Portland, Ore., to Seattle under the name Dan Cooper on Nov. 24, 1971. Just after the craft became airborne, Cooper handed a flight attendant a note saying he had a bomb, then flashed a briefcase full of crisscrossed wires and other items. He demanded four parachutes and $200,000 in $20 bills, which were given to him upon landing in Seattle. The 36 passengers were released in exchange, and Cooper demanded the plane take off again, along with several crew members, destination Mexico City.

Just after 8 p.m., though, Cooper leaped out of the back of the plane with a parachute and the ransom money, and disappeared into the night between Seattle and Reno, Nevada. Years later, three bundles of bills from the heist washed up along the shores of the Columbia River. After a years-long investigation yielded clues but no definitive answers, the FBI closed down the case in 2016.

McCoy, who is known to have pulled off an almost identical heist five months later, over Utah, has long been on the FBI’s shortlist. He was arrested for that, broke out of jail, and was eventually killed in a police shootout.

The mystery has tantalized many over the years, spawning books, documentaries and even a conference. Gryder, an aviation-obsessed YouTuber who is a retired pilot and skydiver, has been documenting his search on his YouTube channel.

McCoy’s grown children, Chanté and Richard “Rick” McCoy III reached out to him after the death of their mother, Karen, in 2020. They had held back before then because they suspected she was complicit.

The FBI did not immediately answer the Daily News’s inquiry on Monday.

“Capping off his list of failures before he just rides off into the sunset to his nursing home — he's weakening immigration policy, and he's seemingly launching World War III,” she says.

“Just in the last week he has … escalated the war immensely with Ukraine and Russia’s direct involvement with the United States.” On top of that, he’s “moved to forgive $4.7 billion in United States loans to Ukraine,” Sara recounts.

Further, “according to an anonymous senior Biden official, the administration plans to push forward to put Ukraine in the strongest position possible before Biden's term ends in February,” Sara reads from a Reuters report.

“Why wouldn't you guys do that before if that's what you wanted to do?” she asks.

The answer seems obvious. Biden is intentionally throwing monkey wrenches in the system before Trump assumes office.

And yet it gets even worse.

“As all of that's going on, Joe Biden launches a new app for ICE” that allows illegal immigrants to “bypass an in-person meeting” at an ICE office by digitally checking in on the app.

The app doesn’t screen for past arrests or outstanding warrants, and it doesn’t collect GPS locations of the users.

“They press a button that says ‘I super duper pinky promise that I am the person that I'm checking in as and also I'm not a criminal and also I am where I say I am,’ and they're just like, ‘cool,”’ says Sara in utter disbelief.

“They're also loosening regulations on the electronic monitoring of the released illegals,” she adds. “Illegals can contest monitoring and tracking and request review at any time and then demand that … they are downgraded or terminated entirely, so that we don't get to track them.”

“I can't fathom any reason why [Joe Biden] would be doing this with 59 days left to go unless it was just — I'm going to f*** things up as much as I can for you. Good luck to you, enjoy World War III and a bunch of acts of terror on your own soil, and I'm going to go to the nursing home and eat pudding now,” Sara lambastes.

“They are just interested in, like you said, causing as much chaos and destruction as possible,” Blaze Media digital strategist Logan Hall agrees. “This is what the left does.”

The illnesses were in New York, New Jersey, California, and Illinois between Wednesday, July 31 and Thursday, Oct. 24, the agency said.

Of 11 people with information available, nine have been hospitalized. In California, one pregnant woman and her twins were sick and both infants died. But a Listeria sample was not found in one of the twins. Listeria was found in a sample from the mother.

"Because of this, only the mother and one twin are included as confirmed cases in this outbreak," said the CDC. "One other Listeria illness was reported in an infant who was sick and recovered."

All recalled products with "Yu Shang" had an establishment number "P46684" or "EST. M46684" on the label.
