D.B COOPER MYSTERY: DID HIJACKER PUBLISH MEMOIR??

REAL?

THE MYSTERIOUS crook who pulled off America's biggest hijacking may have released a memoir, taunting authorities about his audacious crime.  

The newly unearthed autobiography, tauntingly called "HA-HA-HA" has a drawing of a man in a suit holding a briefcase while parachuting from a jet.  

The author claims to be D.B Cooper - the name given by the mystery passenger who escaped with $200,000 during the 1971 crime.  As we reported here the man waited until the Northwest Orient Airlines 727 flight took off before 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.'

MICHAEL WEST SLAIN, GIRLFRIEND GANG RAPED IN '71

ON DEC. 24, 1971, Michael West, 17, and his girlfriend, 16, were abducted from Miami's Cutler Ridge Mall area by a trio of black males and taken to another area of the city. There, Michael was murdered and his girlfriend raped and shot in the head to the point of near death. Cops say West and his female companion were walking in and around the mall when they were approached by three black males who forced the victim and his companion inside their vehicle. The subjects transported the victims to the area of S.W. 107 Avenue and S.W. 225 Street where the female was gang raped by the three black male subjects. After the assault both victims were shot in the head. The female victim survived her wounds and alerted authorities. Michael died. They were doing some window shopping after a high school dance.

NEW LEAD IN 1971 D.B COOPER HIJACKING CASE

HIJACKER

FBI agents have an astonishing new lead in the D.B Cooper skyjacking case just over 40 years after his amazing heist.
During the audacious crime, which could have come straight out of a movie, back in 1971, the man jumped up on the Northwest Orient Airlines 727 flight, shortly after it took of from Portland, telling terrified passengers, he had a bomb.
Then after landing at Seattle Airport, the man who gave his name as Dan Cooper, exchanged the terrified passengers for a huge $200,000 ransom, before forcing the pilots to take off and head for Mexico.
But he never made it south of the border, as at some point during the flight, he parachuted out the plane, never to be seen again.
