DB's Niece (In the Raw, Unedited!): a memoir

An addictive story respects no one. The legendary DB Cooper long miffed experts, authorities, amateur sleuths and pretty much everyone else. “Coopermania” has fuelled heated debates, bizarre speculation, chronic obsession and a multicultural phenomenon that spans more than a generation. Without the unlikely witness of a child, the FBI would never have found “Dan Cooper,” the man who paid twenty dollars on Thanksgiving Eve, 1971 to seal his notorious place in history. A troubled but ordinary man did an extraordinary feat that night, and for forty years the world wondered what was his fate. Movies were made, songs were composed and sung, poetry penned and recited, parties were thrown followed by nursed hangovers in honor of DB Cooper. Sometimes called a “Robin Hood” who “stuck it to the man” he was celebrated, cursed, emulated, and esteemed while often presumed dead. But who was he really? Where did he come from? Where did he go? Most importantly, how was the case finally solved? “DB’s Niece” is Marla Cooper’s first hand account of her remarkable journey through personal challenges and opposing obstacles. This is a story of hope and redemption, divine intervention, uncanny coincidences, and great inspiration marked by certain destiny.
