D.B. Cooper: The Gentleman HijackerYou know what's wild about the D.B. Cooper case? For over fifty years, we've been obsessed with this polite guy who hijacked a plane, asked for two hundred thousand dollars, then jumped into a storm wearing a business suit. The FBI called it their longest-running investigation. Amateur detectives spent decades chasing leads. True crime podcasts dissected every detail. And through it all, nobody could answer the basic question: who was he?Then in 2024, two adult siblings walked into the spotlight with physical evidence and a bombshell claim about their deceased father. What they revealed could finally solve America's only unsolved commercial aircraft hijacking. This is the story of the most polite criminal in history, the investigation that consumed the FBI for forty-five years, and the family secret that might have been hiding in plain sight all along.From the moment Dan Cooper (yes, Dan, not D.B.) handed that flight attendant a note on Thanksgiving Eve 1971 to the shocking evidence that emerged in 2024, we're covering every twist in this legendary case. Because sometimes the biggest mysteries get solved by the people who've been carrying the answers their whole lives.#DBCooper #UnsolvedMysteries #TrueCrime #ColdCase #FBI #Hijacking #MysteryThanks for listening to 10 Minute Mystery.
