Episode 22- The Vanishing Skyjacker: D.B. Cooper’s Last Jump

In this gripping episode of Five-Minute Crime, Ronan Wolfe unpacks the legendary 1971 hijacking by the man known as D.B. Cooper. With a fake name, a briefcase bomb, and a calm demeanor, Cooper pulled off one of the boldest skyjackings in history—parachuting out of a commercial jet with $200,000 in ransom money and vanishing forever. Was he a criminal mastermind or a doomed thrill-seeker? No one knows. What remains is the only unsolved hijacking in U.S. history—and a mystery that refuses to die. Stay curious, stay sharp, and watch your back.
