Editing D. B. Cooper (section)

===Investigation suspended===
On July 8, 2016, when Cooper was assumed to be at least 85 years old if alive, the FBI announced active investigation of the Cooper case was suspended, citing the need to deploy investigative resources and manpower on issues of greater and more urgent priority. Local field offices would continue to accept any legitimate physical evidence, related specifically to the parachutes or to the ransom money. The 66-volume case file compiled during the 45-year course of the investigation would be preserved for historical purposes at [[FBI headquarters]] in [[Washington, D.C.]], and on the FBI website. All of the evidence is open to the public.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://vault.fbi.gov/D-B-Cooper%20|title=DB Cooper Vault|work=FBI |publisher=[[Federal Bureau of Investigation]]|access-date=July 26, 2018|archive-date=July 27, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180727084915/https://vault.fbi.gov/D-B-Cooper%20/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=July 12, 2016 |title=Update on Investigation of 1971 Hijacking by D.B.
