The Backcountry Manifesto

The FULL STORY of DB Cooper | Investigator Eric Ulis | Ep. 010


Listen Later

Who is DB Cooper? On November 24th, 1971, an unassuming middle aged man pulled off the only unsolved skyjacking in US history, parachuting out of the back of a Boeing 727 somewhere over the pacific northwest with $200,000 in cash strapped to his chest. He was never found. Today, some 53 years later, DB Cooper investigator Eric Ulis sits down with us to tell the whole story of DB Cooper, including new developments. We talk about: 

  • Eric Ulis, a pro blackjack player turned cold case investigator
  • Hijacking a Boeing 727
  • $200k cash ransom
  • DB Cooper's successful evasion of the law
  • The cash discovery at Tena Bar
  • Flaws in the FBI investigation
  • Eric's new theory on where DB Cooper landed
  • Summer diatoms
  • The necktie
  • Eric's lawsuit against the FBI
  • The metallurgist suspect
  • All this and much more. If you're a nerd for unsolved mysteries, you're going to love this deep dive into all things DB Cooper.
