After releasing the passengers in Seattle, he ordered the crew back into the sky and jumped out the rear stairs of the plane somewhere over the Pacific Northwest. He was never seen again. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy revisits the only unsolved skyjacking in American history, the suspects the FBI chased for half a century, and the question that has fueled one of the most enduring mysteries of the 20th century: who was D.B. Cooper, and did he actually survive the jump?
