Most researchers believe that the hijacker perished shortly
after
he jumped out of the plane, probably because he was
not able to deploy the parachute pack which he had donned.
A small segment of the investigators thinks that he may have
survived, but he lost the ransom money in the turbulence of
the tail stream of the aircraft.
As for the hijacker's identity, his DNA exists in a liquid solution
currently being analyzed in a laboratory. The solution was derived
from a filter element of a machine which vacuumed trace particulates
from the clip-on necktie which he left behind on the aircraft. Yes,
other individuals have handled the necktie over the years, and their
DNA profiles are also contained in the solution. There is a reasonable
chance
that advanced technology will be able to isolate each of the
DNA profiles in the solution and eventually home in on that particular
profile which is that of the hijacker.
