The fullest account of the McCoy parachute: Gryder's 2022 find in Cove City, the FBI's seizure and property search, about two years of DNA and soil testing, the return of the rig to Richard McCoy III in December 2025 with no conclusion, the Seattle office's referral to its 2016 statement, the children's accounts, the 1974 FBI elimination of McCoy, and sceptical views from former agents and forensic scientists.
