On the afternoon of November 24, 1971, under the gray expanse of the Pacific Northwest sky, a man using the pseudonym Dan Cooper stepped onto a Boeing 727 bound for Seattle. He was an ordinary passenger, or so it seemed, lost amongst holiday travelers and weary businessmen. Yet, beneath this facade, a daring plan was unfurling, one that would catapult him into the annals of criminal legend and shroud him in a mystery that would endure for decades.
Dan Cooper, more commonly known by his media-bestowed moniker, DB Cooper, didn't just buy a ticket to Seattle that day. He bought a ticket to infamy, boarding Flight 305 with a black attache case and an audacious scheme: a mid-air hijacking that would culminate in a daring parachute escape with $200,000 in ransom money.
As the sun sank on that fateful day, DB Cooper stepped into the unknown, vanishing amidst a stormy night over the rugged wilderness, leaving only a trail of tantalizing clues and a world of intrigue in his wake. His audacious leap from the airliner with a bag full of money has spurred countless investigations, theories, and heated debates, transforming him into an anti-establishment folk hero and a captivating enigma.
This is the story of DB Cooper - the man, the mystery, the legend. An unsolved crime that continues to defy explanation, a faceless figure who slipped through the hands of law enforcement, and a tale that continues to captivate and confuse, drawing us into the labyrinthine enigma of the most infamous skyjacking in history. Through six detailed chapters, we'll dive into the heart of this enduring mystery, in a relentless pursuit of the elusive truth about DB Cooper.
