Hum Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 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. http://bradmeltzer.com/decoded/ more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
