D.B. Cooper: The Man Who Hijacked A Plane, Took $200,000 and Vanished Pt. 1

D.B. Cooper: The Man Who Hijacked A Plane, Took $200,000 and Vanished Pt. 1

On the day before Thanksgiving, 1971, a man named D.B. Cooper walked up to an airport counter, paid cash for a one-way ticket, and boarded a commercial flight. By the time the plane landed, he had collected $200,000 in ransom, strapped it to his body, and jumped out the back of a jet. No one has seen him since.


In the first of three episodes on D.B. Cooper, Katie Ring takes you back to November 24th, 1971: who this man was, how he pulled off one of the most audacious crimes in aviation history, and what the evidence left behind actually told investigators.


This episode involves descriptions of a hijacking and the threat of violence. Please listen with care.
