#21 - D.B Cooper

Super Mystery Bros

If you’re reading this because you haven’t heard of this and need an introduction to it, you've clearly been living under a rock for your entire life. But here it is anyway:

November 24, 1971.

A man using the alias “Dan Cooper”, later referred to as "DB Cooper", hijacks an airliner, demands $200,000 in ransom money, multiple parachutes, and jumps out of a perfectly good airplane into the frigid night sky over Washington State, never to be seen or heard from again, nor conclusively identified. It remains the world’s only unsolved case of airliner hijacking in history.

Join Kyle and Nate as they go on a deep-dive on this legendary story, and breathe new life into this old mystery.
