Cooper soon after the event and at first, just as a mental exercise to past the time, and later as an exciting project to flesh out the story, he developed a fictional character who could qualify as the man. His experience flying in the U. S. Air Force, as a fixed base operator and aircraft salesman, and as an insurance salesman provided him with insight into the circumstances that might lead an intelligent respectable member of society to commit such a crime. As a businessman he experienced frustration with the system and became disenchanted with the establishment as did many others who grew to maturity in the sixties and early seventies. And like so many of us he experienced love with its emotional highs and lows. He uses all this to give us a great story of just what might have motivated this man who has avoided detection all these years and his elaborate planning for the crime.view less
