An interesting thought, but no not really, cause he died in the jump.

But you said an hour ago that he died in the jump!
Dead men don't wear plaid, and dead men don't bury cash on a Columbia River sand bar! lol

Dunno, maybe he
was
crazy, but
nobody else
would take the trouble to go into the wilderness to bury the money. That would have been
insanity!
So it had to be DB.

Really? By what logic? What in God's name would DB have buried it for, totally unprotected against the elements where it was bound to rot and fall apart in just a few years? The man risked his life to get that money! He may have been crazy, but he wasn't stupid.

DB
might have buried it, but nobody else did.

Well, the buried money I'm talking about is the money found buried in the sand on that sand bar along the Columbia River in 1980. It was three packets of $20 bills, totaling around $6,000, all identified (by serial numbers) as being part of the $200,000 ransom money given to DB Cooper. A bunch of studies have determined that the bills found in the sand were not simply washed ashore - they had to have been buried most likely by human effort. Since the packets were buried without any sort of protective wrapping or in a bag, my assumption is that somebody was just burying it to get rid of them. (The money had already significantly degraded over just a few years, and without a protective covering or bag, it eventually would've rotted away.)

Your theory is reasonable up until the point when you suggested that they
BURIED the money!

Not as loony as it sounds. It was noted that DB actually offered one of the stewardesses one of the packets of $20 bills ($2,000) in the money ransom bag. She claimed she turned it down. I have this suspicion that DB left the crew a little part of the ransom money as a gratuity for cooperating with him during the hijacking. The FBI did not search the crew or their personal belongings after the flight had landed in Reno. So it's entirely possible that some of the ransom money did end up in their hands, but later they decided to bury it and be done with it. Again, pure speculation, but it's worth pointing out that one of the stewardesses on the flight lived in the general area near the Columbia River where that money was buried. (And no, it wasn't the whole $200,000 ransom, just a small portion of it.)

The crew members
buried the money???

A crazy wild way to get money when robbing on land is easier and less risky.

I wonder how long it took them to reCooperAte?

The black bears got him

I'm strongly leaning in that direction myself. Although no parachute or dead body was ever found, it's entirely possible his chute malfunctioned or something else went wrong in the jump, and he perished in a spot that somehow eluded human detection in the subsequent search of the area. None of the ransom money ever turned up in circulation either. In 1980, about $6,000 of the ransom money was found buried on a sand bar along the Columbia River near Vancouver, Washington, but my hunch is that this is money he gave to one or more of the flight crew before he jumped - sort of as a "thank you for helping me" gratuity. Said flight crew member(s) decided later to just bury the money and be done with it. (It was buried "naked" too - no protective bag or wrapping was around it. DB Cooper would not have done that with his precious loot that he risked his life for. So, I think it was a disposal operation.)

He died

I think it's cool when criminals get away with it.
was it cool when movieman got away with raping your mom 9 months before you were born?

I thought it was cool that he got away with it, and, that nobody was harmed, and, that the case has never been officially solved. DB is my hero to this day.

I saw a thing on TV where there were a few different family members and friends saying this or that guy they know was DB.

Yeah, I've occasionally run into pictures of crime scene victims that kind of make me turn my head away and try to find nicer things to look at, lol.
