Comment on Happy DB Cooper Day to those who celebrate!

Damn, I saw some guy on YouTube last year going through the parachutes harnesses in a barn of a deceased suspect (with permission) and he found the chute while talking to the camera. Was just turning over over on vest at a time in a box and stopped and said “this is it, we found it.”
I think the tape said they turned it over to the FBI? Anyone with more info?
Huh.
Here’s a Popular Mechanics article that’s exactly one year old: A Secret Parachute in the FBI’s Possession May Have Finally Solved D.B. Cooper’s Identity
And here’s the FBI’s web page over it, which notes they diverted resources to other investigations in 2016, but specifically names McCoy as a suspect: D.B. Cooper Hijacking
As far as updates go? I only have sardonic comments about what the FBI is to these days. But I don’t think they are going to work on this one anytime soon.
Thanks! That article linked to the YouTube series I was thinking of:

This is the moment I mentioned:
It would be wild if DB Cooper followed up by watching for who would come out as a suspect and then planted the evidence on their relative’s property after they died.
