D.B. Cooper was last seen jumping out of an airplane over the Pacific Northwest with $200,000 in ransom tapped to his body.  This initiated one of the largest manhunts ever.  Now, forty-five years later, the FBI has closed the case.  This leaves this case as the only unsolved skyjacking incident in American history.  Over the years, investigators have chased different theories to the dissapearance of the man who called himself "D.B. Cooper." The FBI says they do not expect new information regarding the skyjacking; however, if new information arises they will reopen the case. [Fully Story]
