Prompt: Why is the DB Cooper hijacking a mystery?

R: The hijacking of db cooper is a mystery.

AA: It's a mystery because the FBI has no idea who he is or what happened to him.

C: The text says, "We tracked down and arrested McCoy for a similar airplane hijacking and escape by parachute less than five months after Cooper’s flight. But McCoy was later ruled out because he didn’t match the nearly identical physical descriptions of Cooper provided by two flight attendants and for other reasons.

Perhaps Cooper didn’t survive his jump from the plane.

E: Although McCOy was one of the FBI's top suspects, there was still not enough evidence to convict him. The FBI still have hundreds of people who could possibly be DB Cooper, yet no one is a perfect fit. Also, the FBI has so little to go on since there is no evidence of him landing anywhere.
