Where Was Skip?

Could a soldier of fortune mired in J.F.K. assassination conspiracies be connected to the unsolved D.B. Cooper hijacking case?

Where Was Skip? is an informative and thrilling guide to the life of JFK Assassination suspect and a potential D.B. Cooper person of interest (POI), Loran “Skip” Hall.

The author, John Limbach, goes back to Hall’s birth in 1930 to detail an entire life of covert activity, crime, love affairs, and the conspiracies that surrounded this self-described jackal for the CIA until his death in 1995.

While never suspected by the FBI for the only unsolved hijacking in United States history, Limbach paints a picture with facts, circumstances, and profiling that puts Hall right in the center of consideration as to who D.B. Cooper was.

Limbach traces Hall’s travels from the borders of Germany, the mountains of Cuba, the Florida Keys, Hollywood Boulevard, and indeed, to Tacoma, Washington.

He provides facts previously not discussed by the public and engages with a man who lived and interacted with “Skip” in the 1960s to provide new insight into who and where Hall was.

The author also distills hundreds of pages of testimony from Loran Hall to the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), his interview with Jim Garrison (Garrison was portrayed by Kevin Costner in Oliver Stone’s 1991 movie, JFK.), and other files and documents released by the Department of Justice into a digest of notes for the reader.

The reader is asked to consider these facts presented and determine for themselves if Hall should be considered posthumously as a POI for the crime committed by D.B. Cooper. Limbach also believes that there is enough evidence to conclude that Loran Hall was in Dallas, not California as he testified, on the day that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
