Whither D.B. Cooper?

The FBI is still looking for D.B. Cooper. This is the FBI's press release.

The news article does not answer the big question: Why now? You have to at least be into your mid-40s to remember the crime. It happened 37 years ago.

So, with the FBI reportedly stretched by the counterterroism tasking, and with the Seattle Field Office being one of the ones that is really short of people, why is the FBI still spending time on this case? As far as I know, everyone who seriously looks at this case concludes that it is very likely that Cooper (or whoever his real name was) was killed in either the jump or in getting out of where he landed. He jumped in loafers, which probably blew off, and he jumped at night, without a helmet or survival gear, into a forest. His chances of survival were exceedingly poor, and that's being optimistic.

Why now?

I guess they have solved all the other federal crimes, accomplished the goal of secure borders, and targeted all potential terrorists in this country, and that was the only thing left unsolved...
