83: The D.B. Cooper Investigation Takes Off (Part 2)

On Thanksgiving Eve, 1971, D.B. Cooper parachuted into the night’s sky with $200k in ransom money. That night, the FBI launched their investigation into his identity and location. They interviewed eyewitnesses. They developed sketches. They searched the airplane for evidence, finding a few hairs, cigarette butts, and a clip-on tie. They analyzed the flight path to determine where he might have landed.

But after searching, and searching, and searching - the mysterious D.B. Cooper was nowhere to be found.

Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from:
The book, “Skyjack: The Hunt for D.B. Cooper,” by Geoffrey Gray
The documentary, “DB Cooper: Where are you?!”
The documentary, “The Mystery of DB Cooper”
“Who was the mysterious hijacker D.B. Cooper?” by Ella Morton for History.com
“D.B. Cooper Hijacking, FBI.gov
“The missing piece of the D.B. Cooper story,” by Andrea Marks for Rolling Stone
“Scientists say they may have new evidence in the D.B. Cooper case,” by Chris Ingalls for USA Today
