D.B COOPER WAS MY UNCLE: MYSTERY SOLVED

SOLVED?

LYNN DOYLE COOPER

AN ASTONISHING development could the see case of the mysterious hijacker D.B Cooper closed after more than 40-years. 
An Oregon woman who says her uncle was the elusive criminal known and is now claiming that agents have told her that it is enough for them to close the file. 
Marla Cooper told 14 News is claiming her uncle, a man named Lynn Doyle Cooper, is the man who escaped with $200,000 after parachuting out of the Northwest Orient Airlines 727 flight, back in 1971.
Burdened by guilt, she had broken a 40-year family secret to reveal the mysterious skyjacker's true identity.
She said that she was eight years old when her uncle, whom she called L.D Cooper, came to her home, badly injured, for Thanksgiving in 1971 - the day after the infamous incident. 
He claimed his injuries were the result of a car crash, but given time to think about it, her parents came to believe that he was the hijacker. 
She never saw him again and was later told that he died in 1999.
Cooper  gave investigators with a photograph of LD and a guitar strap that he owned for fingerprint testing, the results of which have yet to be revealed.  
But she added that agents had told her: "Regardless of the findings of the fingerprints, they would be closing the case after this.
"He said, 'I am certain your uncle did it. I feel certain that your uncle did it. And that, what's the point in continuing the investigation?'"
As we reported here back in 1971 the man who's ticket was in the name of D.B Cooper boarded the Northwest Orient Airlines 727 flight took off. Then once it had taken off, the man who gave his name as Dan, handed a flight attendant a note: 'Miss, I've got a bomb, come sit next to me — you're being hijacked.'
He then opened a briefcase that appeared to contain explosives and demanded $200,000 and parachutes.

With little choice officials met his demands when the plane landed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, where passengers and two flight attendants were released.
The man in 18F then ordered the flight crew to take the plane back into the air, insisting that it fly at an altitude of no more than 10,000 feet on its way to Mexico through Reno, Nevada.

About 40 minutes after take-off, a signal light in the cockpit showed that the plane's rear stairway had been extended and when the jet landed in Reno, the stairs were down and two parachutes, the money and Cooper were gone.
Marla Cooper however believes her uncle lost all the cash on the way down. 
The FBI have yet to comment on this development.

HEATHER LYNN MAYO'S 911 CALL LEADS TO OWN ARREST

BUSTED

TALK about getting what you deserve.
Heather Lynn Mayo called in the cops to help her boot her boyfriend from their apartment, but she ended up implicating herself in a fatal hit and run, when he told them all the details of the case.
Back in February Jeannie Fisher was run down in Palm Harbor, FL, but despite a large police investigation, no one was ever caught for the crime.
But 10 months after the case went cold Mayo called in the deputies to remove her boyfriend Robert Worden, who had just gotten out of jail, where he'd been serving a 40 day sentence for check fraud.     
According to the Sun Sentinel Worden agreed to leave but as he walked out with the deputies, he pointed to a damaged black 1997 Ford Ranger in the apartment complex parking lot and said he had a story to tell them.
He said that Mayo broke down and admitted to hitting someone a few weeks after the accident, but was too scared of going to jail to come forward.  
Cops said the pedestrian violated the driver's right of way that night, according to police, but under Florida law, police said, the driver had a legal obligation to stop and identify herself.
They said she confessed and was arrested.
The fact that no repairs had been made in the 10 months after the fatal crash also helped their case.
Pinellas Park police Sgt. Brian Unmisig said: "We found pieces of the turn signal and the passenger side mirror at the scene and they matched the parts that the vehicle was missing."
Mayo was also arrested on a warrant for driving with a suspended or revoked license. According to state records, her license was suspended in 2009 and 2010 for failing to pay traffic fines and last year she was cited for DUI.
She was booked into the Pinellas jail, where she was being held Tuesday in lieu of $52,250 bail.
