D.B. Cooper - Deep fbi Secrets. Part 2

CAUTION: GRAPHIC IMAGES AND STRONG LANGUAGE CONTENT.

This amateur film documentary is the culmination of almost 20 years of investigating the famous D.B Cooper hijack mystery. I produced Part 1, entitled "D.B. Cooper Deep family Secrets" for the 50th year anniversary of the start of this mystery. You can see it here:    • D. B. Cooper    Deep family Secrets. ...  

Of all the self-proclaimed "persons of interest" that truly wanted their relative to be D.B. Cooper and write a book, all of them were very accessible and willing to talk. Very early on I had made numerous attempts to contact the McCoy wife and children. They were not talking and would never return calls or emails. About two years ago, I found the obituary for both McCoy's wife and his mother. Both had died within a few months of each other. Would the kids be able to talk now? It was worth a shot. I placed a call to Chante McCoy and left a message, she called me back the next day and she confided that while they did not seek attention or a movie deal, they both knew that their dad had committed both hijackings with their mother as accomplice. It was a taboo subject in their family. Technically, Richard’s wife Karen could still be brought up on charges as an accomplice. That phone call started the friendship with both kids, and our equal desire to explain who their dad was, and why he did what he did. While the kids were too young to remember these events, each felt a need to clear the record and apologize to America for this 50-year mystery. Being able to talk about it and tell this story became therapy for both. Both kids had lived their lives with this deep family secret.

In summary, Richard Floyd McCoy was a decorated Vietnam vet that returned to America and was dis respected and told that he could expect no career in law enforcement. He planned and completed the first hijacking (Northwest 305) on November 24, 1971, but in the process, was unable to retain his grip on the money bag in the jump that night. Richard was a college student at BYU that year. Since he completed the D.B. Cooper jump on his thanksgiving school break, he planned the next one (United 855, April 7, 1972) for his college spring break. One of the main nuggets in Part 1, was where I obtained first person recording of Denise Burns (McCoys sister-in-law) explaining off the record that she was the babysitter for both kids for thanksgiving of 1971, and that both Richard and Karen were away for these days. Previously she had provided alibi for Richard to FBI that the entire family was at home for thanksgiving of 1971.

In this part 2, I began to look at why the FBI has never solved this, and why the FBI could seem to want to keep the mystery alive. In my recorded calls with FBI's main players Larry Carr and Ralph Himmelsbach, each were adamant that D.B. Cooper was "NOT" McCoy. "Anybody" but McCoy was their stance. The details of the killing of Richard McCoy were surrounded in nonstandard and conflicting documentation. For years I had tried to speak with Nick Ohara, the FBI person who killed Richard that night. In this film, part 2, I finally got my lucky break. I found the actual D.B. Cooper parachute, and I got my two conversations in with Nick Ohara. FBI explained why the deep FBI secret, and they did it on digital recording devices.
