Kenneth Peter Christiansen. Ex-paratrooper. Disgruntled and broke airline employee. And...D.B. Cooper suspect. Featured on History Channel's Brad Meltzer's Decoded, two books, and elsewhere. His suspect entry is the most detailed at Wiki on the Cooper case. His life was first investigated by author Geoffrey Gray, and later by private investigator Skipp Porteous and yours truly.

When the dust finally settled, everything was boiled down into a 29-page report in PDF containing 20 images and documents with all the known evidence pointing to Christiansen. This report was sent to Special Agent Thomas Eng, the current Cooper case agent at the Seattle F.B.I. More recently, a public version was created with a few of the witnesses' contact information deleted out, although their true names are given.

Alleged accomplice Bernard Wayne Geestman from his appearance on the show 'Brad Meltzer's Decoded'. He told the cast that he thought Christiansen could be Cooper.

PROBLEM: He didn't know that witnesses had already placed him with Christiansen - and missing - over the week of the hijacking. He was also caught in several lies during the actual investigation, and tried to make his own sister deny everything she had previously said about Christiansen.

Was Christiansen the famous skyjacker who beat the system?

Brad Meltzer?s Decoded Episode 6 : D.B. Cooper

Original Date: 01/06/2011

The Brad Meltzer?s Decoded team jumps at the chance to take on one of the FBI?s most puzzling unsolved crimes: the 1971 disappearance of airline skyjacker D.B. Cooper, who bailed out of a jetliner at ten thousand feet over Washington state with two parachutes and two hundred thousand dollars in ransom money strapped to his body. Working closely with the former FBI agent who headed up the unsuccessful search for Cooper, Brad and the team examine new evidence that points to a former airline employee named Kenny Christiansen, whose own brother suspects he was actually the skyjacker who called himself D.B. Cooper. This sets up a climactic meeting between the Decoded team and Christensen?s possible accomplice, the man who may have helped D.B. Cooper and his two hundred thousand dollar ransom vanish into thin air.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10

      By Copernic · Posted

      VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      Interesting read. I knew the adware was quite controversial at the time, however never realised to the point The Guardian wrote an article about Patchou. I just said no and enjoyed his creation, I’d probably be a lot more wary of something like that today though.
