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.

On November 1, 2007, Meredith Kercher found herself home alone. Her roommates had gone off with friends or family for the night and her downstairs neighbours were taking a long weekend away. On this night, someone entered Meredith's flat in Perugia, Italy, and committed heinous acts which ultimately ended Meredith's life. One of Meredith's roommates, Amanda Knox, who was studying abroad found herself to be the primary suspect in Meredith's death. Her boyfriend of just 10 days found himself in the same predicament. Over the next four years, both Amanda and Rafael were tried and convicted of this crime, not once but twice! However, they were both exonerated and a new suspect was arrested and convicted in Meredith's murder.

It's our season finale, ya'll! This week we bring you the story of Jaycee Lee Dugard, an 11-year-old girl who was abducted on June 10, 1991 as she walked to her bus stop. Jaycee was held captive over the next 18 years by registered sex offender, Phillip Garrido, plus his wife, Nancy. Jaycee was well-hidden in a primitive area deep inside the backyard and it was not until August 25, 2009 when two keen-eyed police officers took notice of the odd behaviours from a group lingering around a University campus. They placed a call to Phillip's parole officer, who promptly called him in to the parole office the next day. This is the moment that everyone had waited for. Jaycee went with him and told authorities exactly who she was. Be sure to tune in to hear this touching story of events!

Chandra Ann Levy had a lot going for her. She was in her last semester of classes at the University of Southern California (USC) and just completed her internship with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons. Chandra was tying up loose ends in Washington, DC when on May 1, 2001, she simply disappeared. As she prepared to leave DC and head back to California, Chandra closed her gym membership, called her landlord to give notice, then headed out to a local park...or so authorities believe. From there, no one ever saw Chandra again until her remains discovered by a hiker/jogger at that park just one year later.

During the evening hours of May 13, 2008, Brandon Swanson met up with friends to celebrate the completion of his first year of college. In the early morning hours of May 14th, Brandon made his way home but drove into a ditch on the way there. He acted quickly by calling his parents to come rescue him, but it was not as easy as that. Brandon seemed confused about his whereabouts as his parents drove around aimlessly in search of their son. At around 3:10 AM, Brandon ultimately began a cross-country trek towards what he thought was home. But as fate would have it, he never made it. While on the phone with his dad, the call abruptly came to an end and Brandon has not been seen or heard from since.

On April 29, 1989, Bob Pelley, his wife, and two step-daughters were discovered murdered in their home after Bob failed to show up for work as a pastor. Two of Bob's biological children and one step daughter were at other functions away from home that night. Police took particular interest in the oldest Pelley child, Jeff (17), who attended his high school prom the night his family was murdered, then hung out with friends at the local theme park the next day. Police did not have enough evidence to arrest Jeff for his family's murders in 1989, but detained him 13 years later. Jeff was arrested, tried and found guilty of four counts of murder. He currently resides behind bars while continuing to appeal his convictions. CORRECTION: www.justiceforjeff.org

Carl "Coral" Eugene Watts was a typical kid until the time he contracted meningitis and polio as a child. Or so they say. Early on in life, at the ripe age of 12, Carl began fantasizing about torturing and killing young girls and women. By the age of 15, Carl turned this fantasy into a reality and attacked his first victim. Throughout his 20's the attacks continued, and Carl estimated that he killed over 80 victims in Michigan and Texas, US. But it doesn't stop here. During his reign of terror, Carl made his way to Windsor, Ontario, Canada, leaving two more women in his wake. Between 1974 and 1982, this monster was dubbed the "Sunday Morning Slasher" because of the hours he attacked. It wasn't until his last victim took all her courage to get help and in a blink of an eye, Watts was off the streets. You'll want to tune in to this one because you won't believe the events following Texas penal system decisions and Watts' good behavior behind bars, plus a renegade Michigan District Attorney that stood up for justice.

On October 8, 2009, Bobby, Sherilyn, and Madyson Jamison set out to scout a 40-acre tract of land for sale near Red Oak in the San Bois Mountains of Oklahoma. The Jamisons were last seen just before they told family they planned to move out to rural Oklahoma for this change of scenery. The Jamisons remained missing until one day in November, 2013, hunters came across their bodies in a wooded area about three miles from where their parked vehicle was discovered four years earlier. Many theories were considered in their disappearances, including witchcraft, drugs, marital problems, the supernatural, and a little thing called the 35th degree latitude.

On March 17, 1999, Chan Man-lok, Leung Shing-cho, and Loong Way-lun kidnapped 23-year old Fan Man-yee under the premise that she owed them thousands of dollars. Over the next month, the trio tortured Man-yee and left her to die alone. But they didn't stop there. After Man-yee passed away, they dismembered her and placed her head in a life-sized Hello Kitty mermaid doll. It wasn't until Ah Fong, a 14-year old bystander, was haunted with these events and reported Man-yee's death to the police. When police went to investigate, they weren't fully prepared for what they would discover inside a Hong Kong apartment.
