Vern Jones’s book tells the story about how he and his team solved the fifty—year-old D.B. Cooper case.
It also represents a huge investment for Vern Jones. Not in the economic sense, although that is significant in terms of money and sweat by many. His overwhelmingly important investment is in the ethical sense. The investment is Vern’s belief system, his dedication to the truth, and his passion to get Carl Laurin’s decades-long work to the public while Carl was still alive. Carl Laurin, who died in late 2020, dedicated much of his life to gathering the evidence and telling the world that Walter Reca, Carl’s old skydiving friend, was D. B. Cooper. He was able, before he died, to realize the value and greatness of his work. He struggled with the public’s reluctance to accept his work and his findings. It was frustrating, especially for someone who lived with the secret for so many years, and Vern artfully convinced Carl not to get off track and to move in a straight line to get his story out to the world. Carl grew to know that Vern was always working to make Carl’s story a credible one, one for which Carl and his family could be proud. That was Vern’s goal – his only goal. And he achieved it.
