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.'

D.B COOPER REMAINS A MYSTERY: DNA DOESN'T MATCH

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.
