Hijacked: The Case of Martin McNally (Part 2)

In Part 2, we pick up where we left off: Martin McNally has made it out of the sky alive — bruised, concussed, and unaware that the FBI is already tracing the fingerprints that will lead straight to him. Within days, Martin is captured, sentenced to life in federal prison, and shipped to USP Marion — the most secure prison in America. And inside those walls, he meets someone who will change everything: fellow skyjacker Garrett Brock Trapnell, a charismatic con man whose influence sparks not one, but two of the most shocking escape attempts in U.S. history. First comes the daring helicopter hijacking led by Barbara Oswald, a military veteran and mother of five who believes she’s rescuing the men she loves. Then comes her daughter, 17-year-old Robin Oswald, who boards a TWA flight with what she claims is dynamite strapped to her chest — demanding Trapnell’s release in one of the strangest hijackings of the era. Bailey and Chelsea break down the psychology of manipulation, the sociological forces that made hijackers into folk antiheroes, and the human cost paid by the women who got pulled into these men’s orbit. This is the conclusion of a story about obsession, charisma, desperation, and the final unraveling of America’s Golden Age of Hijacking.   Go to: American Skyjacker for more information.
