<p>[Local</a> News | D.B. Cooper suspect was surveyor; brother worked for Boeing | Seattle Times Newspaper](<a href=“http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2015822160_cooper05m.html]Local”>http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2015822160_cooper05m.html)</p>
<p>And then a few people in lab coats just had to spoil the story!</p>
<p>[FBI:</a> DNA test did not match D.B. Cooper suspect - Yahoo! News](<a href=“http://news.yahoo.com/fbi-dna-test-did-not-match-d-b-231612320.html]FBI:”>http://news.yahoo.com/fbi-dna-test-did-not-match-d-b-231612320.html)</p>
