In 1971, a man named 'D.B. Cooper' hijacked a passenger plane, demanded a ransom of $200,000, and parachuted out of the plane; however, he was never found. A mystery that even 45 years of FBI investigation could not solve.
ISNA is a semi-official Iranian news agency (Iranian Students News Agency). This is a translation of that outlet's own report; it is the outlet's account, not Artesh's finding.
