Melanie Avalon and Scott Emmens dive into one of the most famous unsolved mysteries in history: the case of D.B. Cooper. In this two-part series, we start with what actually happened on that fateful November day in 1971, when a man known only as D.B. Cooper hijacked a plane, demanded $200,000 in ransom, and then vanished into the night after parachuting out of the plane. From the strange sequence of events, to his cool respectful demeanor, to the multiple parachutes and the odd flight path at low altitude, we explore all the bizarre details of this notorious hijacking. Who was this strange man? Did D.B. Cooper actually outwit the FBI with a perfect escape?
