| MUCKLOW AT THE TIME |
THE STRANGE case of mysterious skyjacker DB Cooper just took another bizarre twist when it was revealed that the stewardess who dealt with the thief, then spent 10-years in a nunnery - possibly as part of the witness protection programme.
Tina Mucklow was praised for her calm handling of the man, who called himself Dan Cooper, who in 1971, boarded the Seattle to Portland plane and claimed to have a bomb strapped to his chest.

| MYSTERY |
THE D.B Cooper Skyjacking case remains a mystery because the DNA samples they found on a tie do not match the latest in a long line of suspects, disappointed FBI agents have revealed.
As we reported here, investigators had been hopeful of laying the case to rest after tip off from a fellow law enforcement official had pointed them towards another potential candidate for the brazen hijacking.
But when they compared the DNA found on a tie with some taken from the suspect, it did not match.
However, special Agent Fred Gutt said that the test does not necessarily rule out the now deceased suspect because there are three different DNA samples on it.
