For years after his daring hijack, there was no sign of DB Cooper or even any evidence that he made it to the ground alive. But a chance discovery in 1980 breathed new life into an old case, and for the first time, the FBI had real hope that they'd find their man. As it turned out, there were far more twists and turns than they could possibly have imagined. Today, DB Cooper isn’t just a name. It’s a legend. One that has taken on a life of its own. But who was the man who hurled himself out of a plane all those years ago, and how did he stay ahead of the law for decades? This episode originally aired on Deathbed Confessions.
