Did I meet the real DB Cooper? Maybe... Read this



I have met a man who claims to be the real DB Cooper aka Walter Allen Grant. I will say this, he believes to be the real thing. Having written books on the subject with great detail, the truth is only known by him alone. He lives in Pensacola Florida,  a  fitting place given it is the" Cradle of Aviation" .

 Do you recall the story? It is one of the greatest unsolved US crimes in history. On November 24, 1971, a skyjacker “DB Cooper “ parachuted from a Northwest jetliner with $200,000 in twenties attached to his waist. Not only has he never been seen since, his identity is still unknown.Part of the money was found in 1980 and the hunt continues.

I met Mr. Grant  who has a unique aura about him. We chat for a few minutes and he hands me a card. Walter  is a writer who claims to be DB Cooper and spends time sharing his story. Many people over the years have claimed to be this famous escape artist. Is he the real deal? 

 The  Cooper story is nothing short of amazing. You can get a copy of his book on Amazon and at bookstores around the world.


Here is the original news story from the event.





 This case is considered to be one of unsolved mysteries of the century
