D.B. Cooper Sleuth

This is a YouTube video that I've converted to a podcast due to its length. There are no real visuals, so nothing is lost if you only listen. Cheers!

More suspect talk!

In the third part of our narrative, things go a bit haywire while on the ground in Seattle. Normally it would only take one fuel truck to fill up a 727, yet it took not one, not two, not three, but four fuel trucks to refuel Flight 305. Cooper didn't handle this too well...

Bit of a fun episode of the Sleuth show. Tons of suspect talk and also much fun and good natured ribbing toward my BFF researcher known as Flyjack. 

We discuss Dr. James Roman as a suspect, other plausible suspects, and more. 

We're talking Cooper for over 3 hours! 

On this episode we discuss various Cooper books and tons of other Cooper related topics!

This is an interview I conducted with retired Special Agent John Detlor. He's the only surviving original NORJAK case agent. He was there the night of the hijacking, searched on the ground with the Army for Cooper, participated in the Sled Test, and also helped out in a "unique" way with a Cooper copycat hijacking. 

This would be best if watched on YouTube because of the use of graphics, but in this episode Ryan decides to try and figure out where the witnesses and some of the other passengers actually sat in the plane. Bill Mitchell himself stopped by in the YouTube chat to give us some insight!

Various discussion topics, but mostly about sketches. I read from my upcoming book as well. 

Spin the wheel and see which suspect we have to attack or defend!

The History Channel has a new show out called Hunting History about the D.B. Cooper Case. My friend Mike Davis, former 82nd Airborne Paratrooper of the year, was featured in the show. He joins the show to discuss his experience and we also discuss a whole bunch of other Cooper stuff, specifically about the skydiving/parachuting element of the crime. 

This is Part Two of a multi-part series detailing the actual events of the hijacking aboard Northwest Orient Flight 305 on November 24th, 1971. This part focuses mainly on Tina Mucklow, Cooper's go-between with the outside world. 

In this ask me anything session we discuss suspects a good deal, so if you like suspect talk, we do a lot of that. 

Former NORJAK case agent Larry Carr joins the show to discuss Cooper, his interesting and illustrious law enforcement career, and tales of pole vaulting, plus Ryan continues to rant and rave about what a poor suspect Richard McCoy is. 

In Part One of a four part series detailing the actual hijacking itself, I focus on the parts played by two of the stewardesses, Florence Schaffner and Alice Hancock. 

Among other topics discussed are sketches, veracity of eyewitness testimony, West Memphis 3, Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, Ralph Himmelsbach, Dan Gryder, alien life, pouty lips, and new Cooper TV show premiering this month. 

With the limited evidence available, such as what he said to people and the known things he was carrying, I try to imagine what the hijacker's morning was like.

This was an extra long episode! We talk about all topics related to Cooper. 

This is Tom Kaye's lecture given on November 15th, 2024 at the 2024 D.B. Cooper Conference in Seattle, Washington. He shares fresh insights into D.B. Cooper's tie and possibly points us in new directions to look for suspects. 

We have a long discussion tonight about Gryder's parachute and McCoy. Plus many, many other D.B. Cooper topics!

My good friend Darren Schaefer, host of "The Cooper Vortex" podcast joins us to talk about the upcoming DB Cooper Conference in Seattle. Get your tickets at DBCooperEvents.com and come hang out with all of the cool kids!

In this episode we discuss Barb Dayton, will the case ever be solved, the Max Gunther book, did Cooper live or die, was Cooper a military man, did Paul Cini inspire Cooper, and how many coincidences are there in this stupid case? Plus much more!

Could the dynamite sticks have been road flares? Tena Bar money find location pinpointed? McCoy was NOT Cooper. Who was the best copycat? Just how old was Cooper, really? Man other topics as well. 

Chris Cunningham and I discuss various topics including how they knew where and when Cooper jumped, the weather, what the pilots could or couldn't see from the air, some cool suspect talk, and more.
