## Resource

In 2016, the FBI suspended its investigation into D.B. Cooper after forty-five years with no confirmed identity. Then, in 2020, the adult children of a prime suspect found a parachute rig in their mother's shed, and the case came back to life. In the third and final episode on D.B. Cooper, Katie Ring covers the new evidence that reinvigorated the investigation, the DNA question still waiting to be answered, and the one thing the case has never produced in over fifty years: a body. This episode contains descriptions of a hijacking and the threat of violence. Please listen with care.
