The writing on the plane ticket actually kind of gives a very strong argument for him being military. He wrote in all caps. My father is ex military and he writes everything in all caps as they were taught to do so during training. He still writes in all caps to this day because he picked up the habit.

This is my favorite true crime case because it's like, weirdly chill and almost victimless. Like no one but potentially DB Cooper was hurt, he didn't harm anybody, and the money was recovered. Like it's kind of just a funny story
Edit; holy hell y’all lemme enjoy this case leave me aloooone
Edit after the edit: please stop arguing in my replies you’re all being insufferable 😭

Honestly I am almost certain D.B Cooper is William J. Smith:
- Had access to railroad flares and could have made a realistic looking fake bomb.
- Was in the military and knew how to use a parachute.
- He had excellent cursive penmanship. The note handed to the flight attendant was written in very good cursive.
- He was excellent at tying knots. Could have easily tied the money to him with the parachute.
- He was familiar with the seattle area through his friend Dan Clair.
- Looks VERY similar to the sketches. (Skin color, hair color and eye color matching)
- The age description matches (43 at the time)
- The height description matches (5’10)
- Knowledge about the railroads for a successful escape.
- Perfect reason to do this and needed cash.
- Had a friend in highschool who died in WW2 named Ira Dan Cooper.
- He is believed to be the man who communicated with author Max Gunther in 1972 (Who wrote the book. DB Cooper: What really happened) claiming to be D.B. Cooper.
There are too many connections for this to just be a coincidence.
Unfortunately William J. Smith died in January of 2018 at 89.
