Hello and welcome back to the True Crime Guys Podcast. I'm Orn.

I'm Michael. How are y'all doing? We're back. I know we took some time off. Just a week right? Just a week. Just a week. We always just a week. Oh, two weeks because we took a week off and then we did a Patreon or we did a Patreon and then we took a week off. So if you're a freeloader, it's been ages and you're dying for a hit. That's true. We got your Patreon. You know us. Get you hooked up. We see you salivating over there. Get you a new episode right here. Yeah, we did Ed Geen. The butcher plane field. Oh, yeah, that was fun. Fucking. That was

really. That was actually a face wear in son of a gun. Yeah, we had a love on recording that one. That was a good time. That was one of the harder books to read as far as like it's very detailed and gory and pretty gnarly. Yeah, it's good how lean type episode. Creepy. Oh, yeah, it was good time. He was a lot worse than I thought. I'd kind of done minor research on Ed Geen. He was worse than you thought. Yeah, there was a lot more to it. I thought I was like, okay, he'd robbed grades and he puts like bones and shit in his house. Whatever. I had heard he'd only killed, you know. Yeah.

One, I thought the only really the person he killed was maybe his brother and that was it. And then he just legitimately killed two women. I over romanticize him, so to speak. I thought he was a lot worse. Really was. And then when I learned about him, I kind of had a little bit sympathy towards him. Yeah, well, he was like trouble. Yeah, he's very, very fucked up. Yeah. So that's on Patreon as well as many other episodes, but we'll talk about that later. We don't want to. Yeah. It's just our livelihood. Just why we're here, guys. It's just over here. No, we don't.

We would do it anyway. I feel a lot of the game, you know, I think, but it definitely doesn't hurt. You know, speaking of a good time, episodes like the Halloween, when we got another good time, when this dude Thanksgiving week is upon us. And someone's like, we got a system to how we pick stuff, right? Almost because this is like a classic Thanksgiving episode. Yeah, classic Thanksgiving mystery. If we're doing a two-parter on DB Cooper, if there was ever classic Thanksgiving true crime episodes. Yeah, I guess that's one. Because on the tradition. Yeah.

On Thanksgiving Eve, 1971. That's right. You're going to find out what happened. Maybe or you're never going to know. You're never going to know. The only unsolved plane hijacking in American history. That's what we're talking about here. And people are still completely obsessed with this. The sluthers are about. And we're probably going to butcher it. If you've been sleuthin on this for years, don't listen to this because we're not going to bring anything. You guys try and learn more about this, but we've only had like a week. That's a good. So it's a good disclaimer. You're going to hate us if you listen to this. That's fair. But if you're the average person, this is going to be a fun episode.

Yeah. If you just know a little bit about DB Cooper or you don't know anything, you're going to love this. Because it's a fun mystery and we can joke all day because no one got hurt. Exactly.

If anything, just some. It's a victimless. The asshole government lost 200 grand and then they spent millions trying to figure out who did it. Got him again. That's what's funny. This is DB Cooper. That was a lot more money trying to find this fucking money. And we got a revolution. Right? He did cause a revolution. And good for him. You have, you imagine the man hours and the money that the FBI spent trying to get him.

That the FBI spent trying to figure out who this was. Yeah. Way more than 200 grand. Yeah. But the FBI wasn't just looking for DB Cooper either. This was the so called golden years of playing hijacking. You know the early 70s. Yeah. That's because anybody in their mom could just jump on a plane. Yeah. I'm Bob. They were like, Bob asked kids. You think a thing like old time you playing robbers now that are like still in these gangs or whatever. They're like, man. It's not like it was back in the 70s guys. Like we got to get a lot more creative. I just like a plane ticket. My name's Harry. Harry Bosonia. Okay. Just go in there.

We're like shoulder strap two pistols in each side and just buy a plane ticket. They didn't give a shit. Jump on smoke a cigarette. Yeah. Have a glass of whiskey. Right. Put your butt dynamite in the seat beside you. I don't give a fuck. No. That's not good. Where you going with that dynamite, sir? Oh, well, strap it in nowadays. You can ride with a fucking turkey. But well, long side to point. Longs it's a support turkey. That's a support. It's so much better about this flight right now.

Sorry, man. If you got a support turkey, I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say either. Maybe you shouldn't be flying. If you need a turkey to fly with you. Yeah. I mean, only support that Turkey's given me is is when I can eat it. Yeah. That's the only time I'm feeling better. We're back around to Thanksgiving. I'll start the episode. All right. Welcome to our DB Cooper party complete with Buffalo stew. We got on a plane in Fort Menorigan last night. He was just another passenger. He gave his name as DA Cooper. But today after hijacking in Northwest Airlines,

he ran some in the passengers in Seattle, then making a getaway by parachute somewhere between there and Reno, Nevada, description on one wire service, master criminal. Which reminds me of my favorite thing, basically mystery ever DB Cooper. A daring parachute escape from applying 727 somewhere between Reno and Seattle, Washington.

Authorities began their search here, thinking the hijacker makeup jumped off at the end of the runway was the plane touched down, but the problem is more complex. The only reason to give it any credence at all is the vast expanse of wilderness that exists in the Pacific Northwest because it's so lush, lush.

Let DB be. There are some things that should remain a mystery. Let DB be. Can you see? He's the Robin Hood of the 70s.

Well covers and mountains in Northern California and Nevada are hostile terrain for any parachute drop, especially at night.

But people I believe so bad. Did a fisherman really pull a parachute shroud line out of like Merwin that lose it? A two-man submarine search turned up nothing.

This is the man who pulled off the only successful skyjacking in US history. All I found was $5800 and no sign of DB Cooper. But people are sure he's still alive. For all we know he's been here. You know, walking out of bear walk there.

Let DB be. There are some things that should remain a mystery. Let DB be. Can you see? He's the Robin Hood of the 70s.

Because it's so lush, lush, lush. All right. Okay. It's this week. DB Cooper. Or DA Cooper as it was first ever Dan Cooper broadcast. Remember the first one? The first broadcast of it. I was like, what?

Yeah. So the name DB Cooper or the Monica DB Cooper came about not from the actual person who hijacked the plane. Right. But more of the media fucking up. They had a typo in a newspaper. Right?

Dude, you know, the media was just as lax as the airport security at this time. It's like DB, yeah, we'll go with that.

Because when someone went on to the newspapers, probably the Oregonian or one of those had had wrote about this story. They had mistyped and put DB Cooper. And then everyone's just like perfect.
