The greatest mystery is how Waldork has managed to avoid the ban hammer for this long.

D.B. Cooper is one of my favorite 'mysteries'. I don't know why.

The fact that not one of the ten thousand twenty dollar bills he extorted ever appeared in circulation sort of took the mystery out of what happened to him after he jumped.

Quote: In February 1980, an eight-year-old boy named Brian Ingram, vacationing with his family on the Columbia River about 9 miles (15 km) downstream from Vancouver, Washington and 20 miles (32 km) southwest of Ariel, uncovered three packets of the ransom cash, significantly disintegrated but still bundled in rubber bands, as he raked the sandy riverbank to build a campfire.[68] FBI technicians confirmed that the money was indeed a portion of the ransom, two packets of 100 bills each and a third packet of 90, all arranged in the same order as when given to Cooper.[69][70]

The discovery launched multiple new rounds of conjecture, and ultimately raised many more questions than it answered.

From Wikipedia, not sure how they got buried there, could have been natural from the river.

Yeah. I knew about that. It doesn't mean that he died, however. It only means that, if he lived, he lost some of the cash. I like to think he made it.

Though the only reason it is a mystery is because people lied to cover their asses, but the Anastasia Romanov story is one that I like to read about. I also enjoy mysterious artifacts, such as the Dropa Stones and the Baghdad Battery.
