Despite closing their investigation into the case last year, the FBI may soon examine some potential new pieces of evidence from the infamous D.B. Cooper skyjacking.
Independent researchers Thomas and Dawna Colbert recently unearthed a number of tantalizing items from a location in the Pacific Northwest which they believe could be connected to the case.
Initially, their team discovered a piece of what they suspect was the parachute strap used by Cooper a few weeks ago.
Remarkably, their search subsequently yielded additional intriguing materials, including strange pieces of foam that could have been a part of Cooper's parachute backpack.
The fact that all of these items were discovered in a relatively remote location on a Pacific Northwest tree farm is seen by the Colberts as a strong indication that they came from the Cooper case.
And it would appear that the FBI is at least willing to entertain that idea as well, since they have accepted the potential new evidence from the investigators.
