On Thanksgiving Eve, 1971, a man calling himself Dan Cooper hijacked an airliner, collected $200,000 in ransom money, and parachuted out of the plane, never to be seen again. Who was D.B. Cooper, and did he survive his jump?
*NOTE: We incorrectly state in the opening of the episode that the hijacking occurred in 1972. That was a typo in our notes; the incident actually took place in 1971.*
