D.B. Cooper letters

[Eduard Versluijs]

A letter surfaced within one week after America's most celebrated, unsolved air hijacking. It was sent to the Reno Evening Gazette, not to the FBI.

This letter was sent out from Oakdale, CA on Saturday, November 27, 1971. It reached the Reno Evening Gazette on Monday, November 29, 1971 and was immediately published on page 1 of that evening edition. It reads, "Attention! Thanks for the Hospitality. Was in a rut. D.B. Cooper." It was a cut and paste letter.
It was determined within two days that the letter's words and phrases came from the Friday, November 26, 1971 edition of the Modesto Bee newspaper. The FBI took possession of this letter and it has never been seen since.

What I find interesting is that on the envelope of this letter you can see a symbol that looks a lot like the symbol on the Zodiac's Halloween card....

Can't say that these letters are the work of Z, or of the real D.B. Cooper either way, but I CAN SEE Zodiac wanting to steal Cooper's thunder,and write letters like these. The Northern CA postmark is of interest

The Zodiac would only want to steal D. B. Cooper's thunder, IF, D. B. Cooper was a real person. To my understanding, D. B. Cooper, was an alias.
