Vancouver, WA October 12, 2026 –(PR.com)– From November 13-15, 2026, Vancouver will once again be the center of one of the nation’s most enduring mysteries – Who Was D.B. Cooper? Alongside Amelia Earhart’s disappearance and the whereabouts of Jimmy Hoffa, the D.B. Cooper case remains one of America’s top unsolved mysteries. For fifty-five years, the FBI, citizen investigators, authors, and documentarians have sought to identify the man behind the only unsolved hijacking in U.S. history. The individual known as Dan Cooper hijacked a flight from Portland to Seattle on Thanksgiving Eve in 1971, demanding $200,000 in cash and four parachutes before disappearing after a daring jump from a Boeing 727 somewhere over the Pacific Northwest.
Cooper Con at the historic Kiggins Theatre will feature a range of experts, scientists, researchers, and authors presenting and discussing the latest advancements, and even unveiling new suspect information and photos. Attendees will also have the unique opportunity to hear from the passenger who sat in the same row as Cooper on Flight 305, Bill Mitchell. We are also pleased to welcome a living legend in the aviation world, Captain Neil Hansen. Neil is an aviator and former senior pilot for Air America, the CIA-operated airline that conducted covert missions throughout Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. In 1964, he joined Air America and spent nearly a decade flying some of the most demanding and dangerous missions of the war, operating in Vietnam and Laos, often into remote airstrips and hostile territory. A firsthand witness to one of the most fascinating periods in American aviation history, Captain Hansen brings a rare pilot’s perspective to the conference. 2026 D.B. Cooper Con promises to provide fresh insights and explore all facets of the case from aviation elements and the Tena Bar money find to the latest scientific testing that could solve the mystery once and for all.
