Episode description

Between the years 1961 and 1972, there were 150 planes hijacked in the United States - the most notable and still unsolved is the hijacking by D.B. Cooper. We'll dive into what happened and discuss the top suspects. Then we cover the murder of Ana Franklin and the harrowing survival of Jennifer Holliday. The two were in the car when a stranger pulled up and attacked them. When it seemed all hope was lost, Jennifer's quick thinking saved her life.
