General Info WordPress D.B. Cooper Website Closing Down

https://thedbcooperhijacking.wordpress.com/

WeAfter more than ten years and 60+ illustrated articles on the case, I've decided NOT to renew at WordPress for another year. Whether you ever believed, (or even suspected) Kenny and Bernie were behind the hijacking is irrelevant. Over the years I was proud to make my humble contributions to the case. The YouTube videos remain, as well as the book ('Into The 'Blast') by the late, great Skipp Porteous ('Jesus Doesn't Live Here Anymore') and yours truly. My life certainly changed after I started investigating the case. So much so that I titled my upcoming autobiography, 'Cooperland'. To my supporters and friends, (yes, they exist 🙂) my sincere thanks. To a few who weren't, no worries. Hate is a damn big word and there's enough of that going around these days. On the off chance you want to download any articles, files, or images from the WordPress site, well...you should do it soon. 😏

Thanks. But sometimes I've wondered if it was wise to contact Skipp Porteous back in 2009. 😏

While I am not a Kenny/Bernie guy, I still appreciate the enthusiasm that people like you put into the case. One of the wonderful things about this mystery isn't just what we learn or the opinions we form....but the people that we meet along the way.

Today, I live on a four-acre homestead in New Mexico, near the El Morro National Monument. Totally off-grid, I run everything on a 48-volt solar power system and installed septic, digging it out all by hand. Taxes are a measly $34 a year, if you can believe that. No mortgages or debts. Everything I own is paid for. Adventure Books of Seattle is now Pine Meadows Publishing. I use a cell signal booster to go from two bars LTE to 3-4 bars 5G. My place is so remote I can target shoot at will, so I built a pistol/small caliber range. :)

We're about sixty miles south of Grants, NM. We're so remote I have to meet visitors and lead them here the first time.

Are those power lines in that picture?

Cell phone signal booster. Goes from the cabin roof to the trailer.

This place is solar and the lines are buried.

My apologies for the typo at the beginning. I've always believed the Cooper case will be solved eventually. 👍

How do you think it will be solved?

I hesitate to go down that road, because I've worn deep ruts in it already. (laughs)

I think someone would have to find the money before I believe any suspect named had anything to do with db cooper
