D.B. Cooper Sleuth

Joining Ryan Burns this episode are Jude Morrow, author of "Dan Cooper", and Cooper researcher extraordinaire Chris Cunningham. Burns believes Cooper survived, Morrow believes he perished, and Cunningham is agnostic on the issue. The three sleuths debate the topic.  

Ted B. Braden is perhaps the most compelling Cooper suspect. He appears to check more boxes than any other suspect. He does have a few flaws that hurt him as a suspect, but are those flaws enough for him to be eliminated? Or was he actually the man himself, D.B. Cooper? Ryan Burns and Drew Beeson dive into the issue. 

A Live Q&A that took place on January 16th, 2024. The Q&A session is also available on the D.B. Cooper Sleuth YouTube Channel where many photographs and files were displayed on screen. 

This is a brief podcast about Donald Sylvester Murphy, who stands alone in the FBI's investigation into D.B. Cooper as likely having the closest resemblance to D.B. Cooper, according to the eyewitnesses. He is also the only man to ever serve time in prison for claiming to be D.B. Cooper. 

Scientist Tom Kaye and Cooper researcher Eric Ulis join Ryan Burns to discuss the latest developments on the Cooper investigation. 

Of all the physical features present on the Cooper sketches, his eyes are easily the most unreliable. Despite their appearance on several sketches, we likely have no idea what his eyes actually looked like.

Richard McCoy is arguably the most well known Cooper suspect for a variety of reasons. However, he was not the legendary skyjacker known as D.B. Cooper. McCoy was a copycat, the same as several others who tried to emulate Cooper's hijacking. In this episode I delve into the multitude of reasons why McCoy was not Cooper. 

Fellow D.B. Cooper sleuth Martin Andrade joins Ryan Burns to spin the wheel (or rather pull names from a bag) of various Cooper suspects and they'll be forced to defend or attack the suspect.

D.B. Cooper wasn't an overburdened hijacker. He was a man who needed little to accomplish his objective. What items did he actually have with him during the hijacking?

Ryan Burns, host of the new D.B. Cooper Sleuth YouTube show and podcast, sits down with investigator Chris Cunningham to discuss the most recent CooperCon in Seattle, copycat hijackers, Cooper sketches, and more.
