Many of us hadn't heard of "D.B. Cooper" before. He's the skyjacker who in 1971 held a plane for ransom and then jumped out with his cash, never heard from or seen again. (You can learn more about his story by clicking here.)

But a portion of his ransom was found by a youngster in the early 1980s. We learned last month that PCGS Currency is now slabbing that (slightly older) youngster's notes.

Normally that would be that. But now MSNBC.com and others are reporting that some new kids may have found part of the parachute "D.B. Cooper" used when he leaped from the plane.

A Seattle Post-Intelligencer online report says that FBI agents are seeking people with expert knowledge of "NB6 parachutes," which MSNBC.com expands to Navy Backpack 6 parachutes with 26-foot canopy.
