84: Top 10 DB Cooper Suspects (Finale)
Welcome to the first annual D.B. Cooper Suspect Awards! In this very real award show, we celebrate a handful of the thin-lipped, military-trained sky divers who *might* be responsible for the only unsolved airplane hijacking in United States history.
Plus: Mistakes of Shame! Kristin mispronounced the name of D.B. Cooper suspect Robert Rackstraw. She called him Robert Rackshaw. As punishment, Kristin will be banned from podcasting for the remainder of 2025.
Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from:
“As new evidence upends D.B. Cooper case, the (un)usual suspects continue to fuel the legend,” by Douglas Perry for The Oregonian
“Who were the D.B. Cooper suspects? From Rob Rackstraw to Dick Briggs,” by Molli Mitchell for Newsweek
“Five most likely suspects behind iconic D.B. Cooper mystery as net closes in on identifying him,” by Luke Kenton for The Daily Mail
“Suspects in the D.B. Cooper skyjacking – sketches, pictures and comparisons,” by Bruce A. Smith for The Mountain News
“D.B. Cooper letter, newly released by FBI, offers startling coded clue that might reveal skyjacker,” by Douglas Perry for The Oregonian
“‘Charming’ D.B. Cooper suspect Sheridan Peterson dies at 94, spent years dedicated to political causes,” by Douglas Perry for The Oregonian
