I enjoyed this episode very much. DB Cooper captures the imagination of many and these two gentlemen have certainly studied the subject. As usual Eric, I find you the best interviewer giving your guests the opportunity to speak without interruptions. I always enjoy you and many thanks.

I love the story of D.B. Cooper. I’ve been fascinated with it since childhood

Sweet another great episode from my true crime Podcast. Can't wait to listen to this tonight😊Thank you 👍👍👍👍💕From Sara in London England 💂

Since Darren has really slowed down releasing new episodes, I'll start listening to this podcast even though I really prefer Cooper shows. I do have the coloring book by George and really enjoy it, but I haven't colored it. It was pretty hard to find.

One of your best chapters yet - very very nicely done on all counts.

After hearing this awesome interview (TY, Eric!), Methinks this was a live-test conducted by the FBI.

One of the better podcast I have heard, regardless of the lack of knowledge when it applies to the incredible skillset displayed by Cooper. Which only one suspect had -Military, special forces, jump qualified, pilot, demo expert, knew the 727 inside and out because he'd been CIA in southeast Asia, background in law enforcement with a thesis on hijackings and last but not least....had also been stationed in Europe where the Dan Cooper comic book was widely read.

@@samba5168 Flights 305 and 855 were the sole two 727 skyjackings where an alias was used. Yet this simple piece of information has escaped the imagination of the public for half a century. In fact these were the only two skyjackings in history where an alias was utilized. Forest for the trees.

He didn’t know about the lever to lower the stairs because the same planes used in military jumps had them in a different location. He did know the plane could take off stairs down while the pilots and others did not ( civilians vs military )

"The day before Thanksgiving" ..........I'd do the same thing to avoid spending time with my family. Great show . Peace , Be Free .

One of the gentlemen stated that the only real victims were the airline and the insurance company that paid the ransom. This made me think: what if that was exactly the purpose? Maybe stealing the money was less important to Cooper than harming the airline or the insurance company? I always assumed the motive was money, but now finding out the perp seemed to have much knowledge of this kind of plane, maybe he was somehow connected to the airline industry.

I think this would be one crime many would be tempted to confess to on their death bed. Doesn't sound like anyone was really hurt and let's be honest it was a pretty legendary thing to do.

How about spending it in another country? Would it be flagged in mexico? Prob not

Who looks at $20 bills a year or more later with non consecutive numbers? Needle in a haystack and during low tech times.

It's Dan Cooper, not DB.

McCoy could NOT use his own parachute. It deployed in the plane and almost hurt a stewardess, becoming unusable for the April 1972 jump.

I wonder if he stayed on the plane, opened the door, threw out a parachute and a handful of cash, before hiding away, under the floor perhaps, emerging later when the plane was parked and things went quiet ...just a thought

do you mind if i am able to take a quick call with you on different aspects on the d.b cooper hijacking for a school project

I'm new to this case but it seems to be that if you can figure out why he jumped out into a rain storm at night, didn't give them a specific flight path and wore civilian clothes to do it you'd figure out what happened.

The plane would have followed a known corridor between Seattle and Portland called Victor 23. The lights on the ground would have told him where he was at!

The altitude he demanded set the flight path , the speed for the jump was also too slow for jets to follow and night for visibility. Guys did that jump 100’s of times in the dark behind enemy lines. ( like Ted Braden)

One reason why he jumped was because had to regardless of the conditions. Aside from the strange garb, it was just a night jump. In addition to his attache case with the batteries and the unidentified sticks in it believed by most people to be road flares, he carried a bag about the size of the reusable grocery bags sold today on board with him. No one knows what was in the bag. Cooper, whether rightly or wrongly, may have been confident in his ability to survive on the ground under any conditions. All you need to survive is nourishment and protection from the elements. A survival expert interviewed in one of the documentaries claimed that he could carry the tools of survival in his pants pockets and no one would know it. Many things about this case are in dispute. One of the witnesses reported that he was wearing loafers and it is constantly repeated as a known fact that he was wearing loafers. Someone else has said that he was wearing thick soled walking shoes, or you could call them low cut hiking shoes. The plethora of shoe types available today was not available in 1971. I was around then but I'm not sure of what was available. I was strictly wwig (wear what I got).

Eric, can you make a video on Gilles De Rais?

Great suggestion! Officially on my list, Greg.

Dan Cooper and Richard McCoy is not same Man Dan Cooper got away

So was Cooper a SOG guy? Can we agree on that?

What about the real DBCooper, Robert Rackstraw?

Richard McCoy is DB Cooper!

McCoy was bumbling stumbling and not at all cool and calm like Cooper, his ears would have been the first thing they describe AND the witnesses said it definitely wasn’t him. The two most realistic suspects are Braden or Gossett.

It seems likely this was a hoax, especially the 250,000 dollar's just set aside. Much of the thing's in the news, I would examine, and pay close attention to what yoju are looking at. I really like the podcast. God bless.

I'm probably the only person who thinks that the Zodiac Killer & DB Cooper look like the same person.

In all seriousness, George has studied the case for years. He's spoken on multiple podcasts and media outlets about DB Cooper. He's thoughtful, articulate and has much to add to this interview. Please give it a listen before you judge based on that.
