On November 24, 1971, a man using the alias Dan Cooper boarded Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305 from Portland to Seattle. Mid-flight, he revealed a bomb, hijacking the plane and demanding $200,000 in cash and four parachutes. Upon landing in Seattle, his demands were met, and passengers were released.

Despite an extensive manhunt and investigation, Cooper's true identity and fate remain one of America's greatest unsolved mysteries. The case continues to intrigue and baffle experts and amateur sleuths alike, leaving behind a trail of questions and theories.
