Episode 69: D.B. Cooper
The late 1960s were a golden age of air travel. Spacious leg room. Glamourous flight attendants. Delicious meals on every flight. And a rash of violent hijackings. Some were politically motivated while others were fueled by greed. The most famous and mysterious hijacker of all took control of a 727 with nothing more than a black briefcase, a handwritten note and a pair of sunglasses. He got his money and his parachutes then disappeared into the night, never to be heard from again. Did he die in the Washington wilderness or did he manage to make an escape with his bag of cash? This week's episode is DB Cooper.
