D.B. Cooper

You've heard that D2BF is a family thing. So let's introduce you to Corey, Deb's son who gives a man's perspective on some of our true crime episodes. Today, Deb tells Corey the story of D.B. Cooper.

On November 24, 1971, a man walked up to the ticket counter for Northwest Orient Airlines out of Portland, OR, identified himself as Dan Cooper, and paid cash for a 1-way ticket to Seattle, WA. While he waited for the plane to take off, Cooper lit a cigarette, ordered a bourbon and soda on Northwest Airlines flight #305, and soon let the flight attendant know his demands. Once those demands were met, the flight continued onto its next leg, and Cooper jumped out of the airplane never to be seen again. To this day, D.B. Cooper is the most sought after criminal in U.S. history. However, in 2016, the FBI officially closed this case to to lack of evidence to locate this hijacker. But that doesn't mean the mystery doesn't continue.
