I’ve watched a few of the episodes and it’s pretty interesting. I’ve never gotten into the story much before as it was way before my time so not sure how much of this series is a repeat of old docu series already done.

Seems like the investigative journalist are reaching at straws trying to fit Rackstraw as DB Cooper. What do you all think?

Read this as DB Sweeney, Where Are You.

Still valid.

I watched it but wasn't too impressed. From what I can see the online community really into the case thought it was the worst thing possible.

I haven't read anything about the case but I thought the French Canadian comic book character is way too much of a coincidence. Has anyone compiled a list a of men discharged from the Canadian Air Force against their wishes from ~61-71?

They also mentioned a flare fired off and never really explained it. That would be an obvious thing to look into as well because I don't think he could have extracted himself without help.

I honestly think it was 3-4 former military guys who were fed up with the whole system. Saw a weakness in aviation that could be exploited. They split it and used it overseas while on vacation and crap. Not completely life changing money but some comfort money.

Tom Colbert presented his case to the FBI on a previous History Channel documentary on this. He is in denial and trying to throw stuff at the wall to make Cooper be Rackstraw. Case will never be solved regardless.

This must be the 50th documentary on DB Cooper and they still don’t know who it is. It’s exhausting.

I mean after watching the doc it seems pretty obvious it’s rackstraw. How can you see the part about the Vietnam guy in his company deciphering the code he sent to police and not think so? He did work for the cia so they covered it up for him.

The biggest thing I took away from the documentary was how sad some of these peoples lives are that they’ve dedicated the majority of it to try to figure this out. It was 50 years ago just let it go

Didn't we establish that Heimdall snatched him up mid-air, using the Bifrost?

I started it but wasn’t very impressed. I’m not even sure why they bothered mentioning the buff coke dealer as possibly being DB Cooper. I lost interest after that.

I watched the first episode, and it just seemed like one of those annoying History channel docs where the "experts" try to solve some really old mystery and you're continuously teased about some game-changing evidence which doesn't turn out to be anything.
