More than three years after their first episode on the case, Eric, Sean, and Jorge come back to the most famous unsolved skyjacking in American history. On November 24, 1971, a man calling himself Dan Cooper hijacked Northwest Orient Flight 305 and collected $200,000 and four parachutes in Seattle. Then he jumped from the back of a Boeing 727 into the night over southwest Washington and was never seen again.

The hosts start with a quick recap of the hijacking, the ransom money found at Tena Bar, and the JCPenney clip-on tie Cooper left behind. Then they get into what has happened since. Researcher Eric Ulis sued the FBI for access to the tie and lost when a federal judge ruled that a necktie isn’t an “agency record.” YouTuber Dan Gryder found a modified parachute rig and a skydiving logbook on suspect Richard McCoy Jr.’s family property in North Carolina. The FBI kept the rig for two years and then handed it back without explanation. New FBI file releases brought up decades-old suspects and showed that Boeing tested the 727 with its rear stairs open in flight back in 1964.

The guys rank the leading theories and argue over whether Cooper died in the woods or made it to Mexico. They also react to just how many people have claimed to be D.B. Cooper. With CooperCon this week and the 55th anniversary on November 24, the case is back in the news.

Mount Shasta stands alone in Northern California, a 14,000-foot volcano that has drawn more strange stories than almost any mountain in America. In this VIP request episode from longtime Patreon supporter Anna M., Eric, Sean and Jorge trace the legend of Mount Shasta from the beginning. That starts with the massive landslide that once tore the mountain apart and the Native creation stories of the Sky Spirit and the grizzly bears.

From there, the hosts dig into the Lemurians, a tall, robed lost race said to live in a hidden city called Telos inside the mountain and to come down into town paying in gold. They follow the trail of a channeled 1880s book, a mysterious prospector who vanished in 1934 and a self-proclaimed Lemurian princess. Then comes the “I AM” Activity, a crew born from Guy Ballard’s claimed meeting with Saint Germain on the mountain that ended up before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The episode also covers UFO sightings and the viral “flying saucer” cloud of 2020, Bigfoot and the Patterson-Gimlin film, climbers who go missing on the mountain and the Emerald Triangle’s Murder Mountain next door. Is Mount Shasta a portal, a lost civilization’s last refuge, or the greatest legend ever written one article at a time?

You’re running late. A phone call has put you half an hour behind, and you’re hurrying up Washington Street, trying to hail a cab. You’re forty years old, with a ten-month-old son at home and nearly ten years at Cantor Fitzgerald behind you. Your husband, Greg, is on the 84th floor of the South Tower.

You push through the revolving doors of the North Tower and turn toward the elevators. Then the floor jolts beneath you.

This is 9/11 Stories, real accounts of the people who lived it, so they’re never forgotten.

Jason Thomas had been off active duty in the Marine Corps for only a few weeks when the morning of September 11th began, and his uniform was still in the back of his truck. By the time the North Tower fell, he had put it on and driven into Manhattan with no orders and no plan, just his training and a city in trouble. Before the day was over, he and another Marine in uniform would walk into a section of the site that rescue crews had been pulled out of, calling into the smoke and listening for an answer.

This is the story of Sergeant Jason Thomas.

On the morning of September 11th, Genelle Guzman was sixty-four floors up in the North Tower, moving down the stairwell with everyone else, counting floors like everyone else. She made it to the 13th before the tower came down around her. What happened in the twenty-seven hours after that — the dark, the silence, and the voice that stayed with her through it — became a story she’s spent twenty-five years trying to explain. This year, for the first time, the rest of the world is hearing it too.
