    Lemmino on Youtube made a high quality video about the incident. Highly recommend that.

    I heard the theory that the plane workers made it up to steal the money. I think it was on a Lemmino video

      Part of the money was found: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._B._Cooper#Recovered_ransom_money

      But most of them were never used, they documented the serials of the bills.
