This is the second of a two-part series. Part one detailed how new evidence has been unveiled that may crack the D.B. Cooper case, America’s most notorious and only unsolved hijacking 53 years later.

On Nov. 24, 1971, a passenger who checked in as "Dan Cooper" parachuted out of a Northwest flight somewhere between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle with $200,000 in ransom he'd received in exchange for sparing the lives of the passengers and crew.

Some believe he didn't survive the jump, while others speculate the infamous hijacker was a titanium research engineer from Pittsburgh who died in 2002, among many other theories.

McCoy remains one of the FBI's strongest suspects based on a near copycat hijacking McCoy pulled off over Utah five months after D.B. Cooper jumped out of the plane.

Now, however, pilot and YouTuber Dan Gryder, who has been investigating the case for 20 years, said he has discovered bombshell evidence that has led to a breakthrough in the case.
