There have been several theories about the true identity of the infamous hijacker, but none is as believable or as exciting as the story contained in The Legend of D. B. Cooper, Death by Natural Causes.
According to the FBI, the perpetrator of the only unsolved skyjacking was a fool. In recent articles, the man who signed in as Dan Cooper for the short flight from Portland, Oregon to Seattle, Washington on November 24, 1971, is portrayed by the FBI as a bumbling idiot. The theory is that he panicked when he jumped from the rear stairs of a 727, failed to pull the cord on his chute, and tumbled to his death in the dense forests of Southwestern Washington.
This book provides you with a believable and exciting story that leaves you to make up your own mind on its validity. We started out to write a book about the exciting life of a very dear friend of ours. Even without the D. B. Cooper confession, the story is remarkable. It contains humor, emotions, and excitement.
Before we met our friend, he led a very different life than when we knew him. He had been a very rough individual, serving in the Merchant Marines during the war, riding with the Hell's Angels motorcycle gang, and fighting his way through over one-hundred jobs and two marriages in his attempts to hide his true inner feelings.

To see the TV story about our book that was aired on the 11:00pm news on KOMO Channel 4 on July 23,2008, click here. We were each interviewed for about twenty minutes, but only a short clip of Ron and none of Pat made it through the cuts. The story is great though.
Our radio interview did not go as well. It was our first and you can definitely tell we here nervous. To hear the interview that aired on Wednesday, July 23, 2008 on KIRO News Radio (710 AM) click here. The name of the show is the Ron and Don Show.
Check this one out. It's quite humorous. It gives a reason why the FBI is so adament tht D. B. Cooper was not a woman.
