November 24, 1971

On This Date in TWISTED-HISTORY.com! in 1971, Dan “D.B.” Cooper hijacked a Northwest Airlines 727 and escaped by parachuting from the plane with $200,000 in ransom money over a deep woods area of Washington state. Mr. Cooper and the vast majority of the money has never been found. The theories of his disappearance have ranged from; he landed in the brush and was eaten by a bear, he landed in the brush and got away to Canada/Mexico/Soviet Union, he landed in the brush and was abducted by space aliens, he landed in the brush and started a family with his Big-foot lover, and he landed in the brush, stepped through a dimensional warp and escaped in a world that was ruled by Amazonian dinosaur-riding barbarian women. The last one is my favorite and I’d appreciate it, if more people would believe in it.
