Dos Santos, now living in Santa Fe, who tells
us about the mysterious Dan Cooper.
THEFT
I’ll never forget that journey. It was a cold November day in 1971 and I was flying from Portland to Seattle to visit my family. I was reading
a magazine on the plane, so I didn’t speak to the
businessman next to me. But I remember him
very clearly. He was wearing a smart suit and
dark sunglasses and he wasn’t acting strangely
or doing anything unusual at all.

Pickpockets steal items from

I only learnt the truth the next day when I read
the headlines in the newspaper. In fact, the
plane didn’t stay in Seattle but it flew down to
Mexico. Apparently the man in the suit – Dan
Cooper – was a hijacker! He told the flight
attendant that he had a bomb in his briefcase,
and he demanded $200,000 and four parachutes. When the plane landed in Seattle, the
pilot received the money and the parachutes.
Then the hijacker forced the plane to fly to
Mexico. Suddenly, Dan Cooper put on his parachute and opened the door of the plane. Then he
jumped – with all the money in his briefcase!

After an hour, he called the flight attendant. He talked quietly to her and
opened his briefcase, but I didn’t see

followed her to the front of the plane and he

Anyway, we arrived safely in Seattle, and all

sherlock holmes
A Victorian gentleman
“ When you have excluded
the impossible, whatever
remains, however improbable,
must be the truth.”
rthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930)
was a Scottish writer who created the well-known1
fictional detective Sherlock Holmes.
5
The Sherlock Holmes mystery stories, set2 in Victorian
London, represented the good, the bad, and the ugly of
British society at the time: its hopes, its achievements,
and its deepest fears. Sherlock first appeared in
A Study in Scarlet, published in 1887.
Five years later, The Adventures of
10 Sherlock Holmes was published and it
was a huge3 success – both the readers
and the publishers wanted Arthur
Conan Doyle to write more.

Unit
herlock Holmes was a complex
and moody character. A pipe smoker and
violin player, he was famous for his ability to
gather5 evidence using his outstanding6 skills
of observation and deduction. His assistant,
Doctor Watson, was always amazed by
Sherlock Holmes who, in the film adaptation,
famously said to him: “Elementary, my dear
Watson!” Holmes was a man of his time who
believed, above all, in the power of reason.

FORENSIC SCIENCE
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
had a significant influence
on popularising a scientific
approach to criminal
investigation. Today, there are
a variety of forensic techniques – as seen on famous TV shows
– that include the examination of fibres, glass, paint, firearms
and the chemical analysis of drugs, liquids, fingerprints and
many more. These techniques provide
efficient tools7 in catching criminals for
the London police, based at their famous
headquarters8 called Scotland Yard.
