Statute of limitations
In 1976, discussion arose over impending expiration of the statute of limitations on the hijacking. Most published legal analysis agreed that it would make little difference, as interpretation of the statute varies considerably from case to case, and court to court, and a prosecutor could argue that Cooper had forfeited immunity on any of several valid technical grounds.[65] The question was rendered moot in November when a Portland grand jury returned an indictment against "John Doe, aka Dan Cooper" for air piracy and violation of the Hobbs Act.[66] In effect the indictment formally initiated prosecution of the hijacker, and can be continued, should he be apprehended, at any time in the future.
[edit] New physical evidence
In the autumn of 1978, a placard containing instructions for lowering the aft stairs of a 727, later verified to be from the hijacked airliner, was found by a deer hunter near a logging road about 13 miles (21 km) east of Castle Rock, Washington, well north of Lake Merwyn, but within the basic path of Flight 305.[67]
