Summary
On November 24, 1971, a man using the name Dan Cooper boarded a flight from Portland to Seattle, handed a flight attendant a note claiming he had a bomb, and calmly hijacked the plane. After collecting a $200,000 ransom and four parachutes, he jumped from the Boeing 727 into the night sky—and was never seen again.
Known to the public as D.B. Cooper due to a media error, his identity remains a mystery. In this episode, we walk through the timeline of the hijacking, the FBI’s decades-long investigation, and the clues that continue to puzzle investigators and amateur sleuths alike.
