Remember D. B. Cooper? I remember when he made his famous jump. The general consensus form the public at the time seemed to be that they hoped he got away with it. All he did was rip off a few bucks, and he didn't hurt anyone. Pretty gutsy jumping out of a 727. Although some of the money was found, he never was. Now the have "NEW" evidence. Why can't the FBI leave him alone, and go find the missing 11 year old girl in NH. Saving face maybe?

It is kind of strange how $200,000 seems like nothin' 40 years later. I'll bet the FBI is spending more then that a year to put his legend to bed!

The Cooper case is a major felony. The statute of limitations on hijacking cases is moot, though forty years puts it in a rare category. Cases of this sort sit dormant unless something warrants action. Someone presented the Bureau with some sort of new evidence, and they are bound to follow up on it. Airline hijacking is not the same as stealing a pack of gum.
More to the point, the FBI needs a feather in its cap since the entire federal enforcement system has been under fire and subject to a lot of criticism in the past couple of years. The heat now on BATFE reflects adversely on the FBI, as well. They need something to haul before the public as a "major win."

What is a zimbalist and what purpose does it serve?
AH! Google always has an answer! These are zimbals and this is a zimbalist.

No he was an actor in the 60s. A show called "The FBI". That was back when everybody working for the government was still considered a hero. It was a good show.

That would seem to be the case. He's 92 years old and still around.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
You mean he was hung? (Rope, not apendage)
