DB Cooper UPDATE: The Parachute - EP 176

www.incogni.com/conspiracy

More than three years after their first episode on the case, Eric, Sean, and Jorge come back to the most famous unsolved skyjacking in American history. On November 24, 1971, a man calling himself Dan Cooper hijacked Northwest Orient Flight 305 and collected $200,000 and four parachutes in Seattle. Then he jumped from the back of a Boeing 727 into the night over southwest Washington and was never seen again.

The hosts start with a quick recap of the hijacking, the ransom money found at Tena Bar, and the JCPenney clip-on tie Cooper left behind. Then they get into what has happened since. Researcher Eric Ulis sued the FBI for access to the tie and lost when a federal judge ruled that a necktie isn’t an “agency record.” YouTuber Dan Gryder found a modified parachute rig and a skydiving logbook on suspect Richard McCoy Jr.’s family property in North Carolina. The FBI kept the rig for two years and then handed it back without explanation. New FBI file releases brought up decades-old suspects and showed that Boeing tested the 727 with its rear stairs open in flight back in 1964.

The guys rank the leading theories and argue over whether Cooper died in the woods or made it to Mexico. They also react to just how many people have claimed to be D.B. Cooper. With CooperCon this week and the 55th anniversary on November 24, the case is back in the news.
