On Tuesday, the FBI announced that they have stopped actively investigating the case of D.B. Cooper, the unidentified sky pirate who jumped out of a hijacked passenger jet with $200,000 in 1971. So, hey, if you’ve been waiting to make a Facebook page, now’s the time, D.B., my dude!

According to Geoffrey Gray, the author of New York mag's piece on a D. B. Cooper suspect, the F.B.I. has decided to "revive its decades-old file on D.B. Cooper, the mysterious hijacker who parachuted out of a Northwest Airplane in 1971 with $200,000 in ransom money and was never seen again." Rrrrreally? [Daily Intel]

We've been waiting all week for word of the success or failure of New York magazine's sort-of maybe kinda identification of D. B. Cooper—who has become something of an American myth since he hijacked a Northwest plane in 1971 and made off with $200,000. So far we've gotten not much: "Bonney Lake residents doubt neighbor was D. B. Cooper," says the AP today. Meh. The suspect's brother, Lyle Christiansen of Minnesota, really really wanted Nora Ephron to direct the movie but of course she didn't even return his letters. (Just like that Eminem song Stan.) But how reliable a narrator is Lyle? In order to send Ephron the letter, he paid a gumshoe $495 to find her address. Really, how can one rely on the word of a man who can't figure out how Whitepages.com works?
