D.B. Cooper is Walt Reca

What separates Walt Reca as the real D.B. Cooper from all the other wannabes is that we have the evidence proving he is D.B. Cooper. In addition to the taped confession from Walt Reca to Carl Laurin and many other evidence-based corroborations, we have an eyewitness who saw Walt the night of November 24, 1971, after Walt parachuted into the Cle Elum, Washington area after jumping from the Boeing 727, NWA Flight 305.

Jeff Osiadacz is not just the eyewitness to the events the night of the skyjacking in Cle Elum, Washington. He’s a former lawman, a trained observer, and a much-respected long-time citizen of Cle Elum. 

Osiadacz, years after the Walt-Carl recording, mirrored Walt’s lengthy and detailed statement without any realistic contamination affecting his exacting account. Osiadacz’s statements about what Walt was wearing, where Osiadacz, driving a dump truck,  passed Walt as Walt walked toward the Cle Elum Cafe, the weather conditions (rainy and cold), what Walt was wearing and carrying, the truck description parked at the Cafe, precisely corroborating Walt’s account as Walt entered the Cafe, describing a guy who looked like a Cowboy, wearing a cowboy hat, with a guitar next to where “Cowboy” was sitting. Osiadacz precisely mirrored Walt’s statements in the recordings made years earlier, which were unknown to Osiadacz. Further, Osiadacz stated Walt asked him (Osiadacz) if he would give directions to the Cafe to Walt’s friend, and Osiadacz corroborated that account exactly. Osiadacz remembered Walt bought him a cup of coffee.

Shortly after he talked to Walt’s friend, Osiadacz left the Cafe with his guitar and drove off in the dump truck he was driving to play in a band at the Grange Hall in Cle Elum for a pre-Thanksgiving event. Osiadacz wore a cowboy hat, played the guitar, and was (is) a lead singer. 

In this case, we have so much evidence that former prosecutors, judges, and high-ranking law enforcement agents all agree that Walt Reca was D.B. Cooper. The FBI needs to review our case and close the D.B. Cooper case once and for all.

Unfortunately, these are issues you should think about:

1. When you go out for dinner/drinks, leave your purse or other carry items in the trunk of your car. If you need to carry something, make sure it is on your person. If something goes down, you need to exit that location as fast as possible. You can’t be looking for your carry-in items. Even if you get out alive, because it’s a crime scene, you won’t have access to anything you left behind for at least a week.

2. Also, as you enter your location (even if outside), take note of all the possible exits. In panic situations, everyone will try to go out the door they entered. Take advantage of the closest/alternative exits and make sure everyone in your party knows where they are.

3. Think about your seating locations and make sure the trained observers in your party are facing locations where issues may develop (the front door, side doors) and be ready when someone in the party says, “Let’s go!” and follow them as they lead you out.

4. Think about these things beforehand. In panic situations, you do what your training taught you to do.

5. Share this with your children.
