However, authorities say they have no reason to think the death of 71-year-old Earl Cossey was linked to the Cooper case.

But sometime in the 1980s, the second stewardess appeared in an episode of Unsolved Mysterieson the hijacking of Flight 305. The producers commissioned a police artist to make a new sketch of the hijacker, corresponding to the stewardess's recollections. This sketch, as shown below, depicted a "widow's peak". The stewardess said of the sketch: "that's it".
