1. I was only 22 years old
when this story began but
Copy !req
2. I remember it like
it was yesterday.
Copy !req
3. I told my family
and visiting relatives that
Copy !req
4. I was going out on a
turkey shoot.
Copy !req
5. You see, it was
November 24th,
Copy !req
6. 1971. The day before
Thanksgiving...
Copy !req
7. And if you wanted a
turkey feast,
Copy !req
8. by golly, you had to shoot
and kill the bird yourself.
Copy !req
9. At least, that's what I said.
Copy !req
10. Little did I know as I took
that fateful trip,
Copy !req
11. I would encounter
something far more
Copy !req
12. dangerous and a hell of a
lot bigger than turkeys.
Copy !req
13. Growling!
Copy !req
14. While I was going about
my business, another man,
Copy !req
15. a rather famous or should
I say, infamous individual
Copy !req
16. had some plans of his
own on that very same day.
Copy !req
17. But while the airlines
were going to have a busy
Copy !req
18. day ahead of them, I
had to deal with some
Copy !req
19. problems of
my own.
Copy !req
20. Can I help you?
Copy !req
21. I'm sorry. I thought this
house was vacant.
Copy !req
22. We rented it for the holiday.
Copy !req
23. We?
Copy !req
24. Hey man!
Copy !req
25. Hey how's it going!
What's going on buddy!
Copy !req
26. YA this is Chuck, JOHNNY,
LOU And MORGAN
Copy !req
27. What's up guy's
Copy !req
28. You want to join us for some
turkey shooting!
Copy !req
29. Ya I'm here for turkey
shooting!
Copy !req
30. Ya, it's the season..
You want to have a beer with us!
Copy !req
31. Ya I'll take a beer!
Copy !req
32. All right cool! Sweet!
Come on in! lets go!
Copy !req
33. I hadn't expected anyone
else being up here but
Copy !req
34. they seemed like a good
bunch of guys so I was
Copy !req
35. happy to... play along.
Morgan was getting
Copy !req
36. married in a week so this
was like a last hurrah for
Copy !req
37. them all. At the time,
Copy !req
38. I didn't realize how
true that would be.
Copy !req
39. I also couldn't get over
the feeling that someone
Copy !req
40. was watching me. I
thought I was just being
Copy !req
41. paranoid but for some
reason, I couldn't shake
Copy !req
42. that sense of dread...
Copy !req
43. Which is probably what
the flight crew and
Copy !req
44. passengers were feeling
once Dan Cooper got
Copy !req
45. aboard that 727 Boeing
out of Portland
Copy !req
46. Oregon heading to
Seattle, Washington.
Copy !req
47. Oh, Stewardess. Could you come
over here for a second?
Copy !req
48. Yes, sir. Is there a problem?
Copy !req
49. Thank-you, sir. I'll
read it later.
Copy !req
50. Uh, you should really
take a look at that note
Copy !req
51. Right now.
I have a bomb.
Copy !req
52. You should inform
the captain.
Copy !req
53. Ah... I'll... I'll get on
this right away.
Copy !req
54. Dan Cooper's demands
were simple. Two
Copy !req
55. hundred thousand in
negotiable American
Copy !req
56. currency, four parachutes,
and a fuel tank standing
Copy !req
57. by in Seattle awaiting
their arrival.
Copy !req
58. Growling!
Copy !req
59. Growling!
Copy !req
60. Growling!
Copy !req
61. Growling!
Copy !req
62. Growling!
Copy !req
63. Growling!
Copy !req
64. Growling!
Copy !req
65. Growling!
Copy !req
66. Growling!
Copy !req
67. I'm never going to get
Married at this age!
Copy !req
68. Morgan is just
way to young!
Copy !req
69. Your pretty much
reining your life!
Copy !req
70. What is it?
Copy !req
71. Thought I heard
something.
Copy !req
72. Hey, are there bears
in these woods?
Copy !req
73. I wouldn't count out the
possibility.
Copy !req
74. You know I'd feel a lot
better if we had our rifles.
Copy !req
75. Yeah, I think we can start
heading back.
Copy !req
76. Ya Fast!
Copy !req
77. Growling!
Copy !req
78. Growling!
Copy !req
79. Growling!
Copy !req
80. Growling!
Copy !req
81. So, Bernie. You going to
join us on the hunt?
Copy !req
82. Yeah, we were going to
head out and split up into
Copy !req
83. two teams. Make it kinda
like a contest to see who
Copy !req
84. can kill the most birds.
Copy !req
85. Ya and six of us,
it makes it even.
Copy !req
86. Five. I'm a lover.
Not a killer.
Copy !req
87. Come on, Morg.
She hasn't cut
Copy !req
88. your balls off
yet, has she?
Copy !req
89. What ever I'm taking a
shower.
Copy !req
90. After being stuck in
bronco with you guys
Copy !req
91. for three hours, I need it.
Copy !req
92. It's a manly smell.
It's good for you.
Copy !req
93. Good timing. We were just about
go hunting.
Copy !req
94. So, Bernie.
What do you say?
Copy !req
95. I didn't really come up
here to make new friends
Copy !req
96. but I still had
time so I figured...
Copy !req
97. Sure! Why not?
Copy !req
98. Great! Let the
killing begin!
Copy !req
99. After we gear up.
I'm not going
Copy !req
100. out there again
without my rifle.
Copy !req
101. Ditto.
Copy !req
102. Okay. Let's get ready!
Copy !req
103. Get them!
Copy !req
104. Right there. Right there.
Copy !req
105. Boom!
Copy !req
106. Growling!
Copy !req
107. Growling!
Copy !req
108. Growling!
Copy !req
109. Pretty Pretty!
Copy !req
110. Nice! Nice!
Copy !req
111. Alright!
Copy !req
112. All right guys! Chuck,
Lou your with me!
Copy !req
113. All right guys!
See you guys!
Copy !req
114. Good luck guys!
Kill some birds!
Copy !req
115. Growling!
Copy !req
116. Now, I had heard stories
growing up about... things
Copy !req
117. lurking in the woods. And
as a kid, the stories
Copy !req
118. scared me but monsters
take on different guises
Copy !req
119. when you're fighting in
Vietnam. I had thought
Copy !req
120. I'd seen it all. Boy, was I
mistaken.
Copy !req
121. Growling!
Copy !req
122. Now, I can't rightly say
what happened inside that
Copy !req
123. house while we were out,
but I can tell you now,
Copy !req
124. it wasn't pretty.
Copy !req
125. Hello, Hey baby how you
doing? Good!
Copy !req
126. What are you wearing?
Copy !req
127. Mhhm.. That's sexy!
Copy !req
128. You miss me?
Good I miss you too!
Copy !req
129. Im about to go take a
shower!
Copy !req
130. Ya I stink real bad..
Copy !req
131. Ok baby ill be
thinking of you!
Copy !req
132. All right
love you bye!
Copy !req
133. Growling!
Copy !req
134. Growling!
Copy !req
135. Growling!
Copy !req
136. Growling!
Copy !req
137. Growling!
Copy !req
138. Growling!
Copy !req
139. Growling!
Copy !req
140. Growling!
Copy !req
141. ROARS ROARS
Copy !req
142. I can also tell you that
while we were out
Copy !req
143. hunting turkeys and
something was hunting
Copy !req
144. us, good old Dan Cooper
were having his demands
Copy !req
145. met. The airline's
president authorized
Copy !req
146. payment of the ransom
and ordered all
Copy !req
147. employees to cooperate fully
with Dan Cooper,
Copy !req
148. who they were now
calling D.B. Cooper
Copy !req
149. due to a news media
miscommunication.
Copy !req
150. FBI agents assembled the
ransom money from
Copy !req
151. several Seattle banks.
He received ten thousand
Copy !req
152. unmarked twenty dollar
bills and civilian
Copy !req
153. parachutes with manually
operated ripcords that the
Copy !req
154. police obtained
from a local skydiving school.
Copy !req
155. Have a lovely evening,
folks!
Copy !req
156. Once the delivery was
complete, Cooper
Copy !req
157. permitted all passengers,
and the senior flight
Copy !req
158. attendant to leave the
plan. They were all
Copy !req
159. unharmed which is
unfortunately not
Copy !req
160. the case of what
happened with the
Copy !req
161. guys I was hanging
out with.
Copy !req
162. Growling!
Copy !req
163. Growling!
Copy !req
164. I fought in nam! The
toughest time of my life..
Copy !req
165. I met my best friend over
there! I owe him my life.
Copy !req
166. Well ya. We got Morgan.
Kid's getting married and
Copy !req
167. has his whole life
ahead of him!
Copy !req
168. I don't know..
Copy !req
169. It's Just a squirrel.
Copy !req
170. I don't know what I'm
doing next but I know
Copy !req
171. what I have to do right
now. Bathroom break.
Copy !req
172. You're not going
back to the lodge?
Copy !req
173. A bear may shit in the
woods but I don't.
Copy !req
174. We're not waiting for you!
Copy !req
175. So Don't!
Copy !req
176. Alright!
Copy !req
177. Growling!
Copy !req
178. Morgan!
Copy !req
179. You here?
Copy !req
180. Morgan!
Copy !req
181. Morgan!
Copy !req
182. Growling!
Copy !req
183. Morgan!
Copy !req
184. You better not be trying
to scared the shit out of me
Copy !req
185. Morgan!
Copy !req
186. because it just
might work!
Copy !req
187. Growling!
Copy !req
188. Morgan!
Copy !req
189. Growling!
Copy !req
190. Morgan!
Copy !req
191. Morgan!
Copy !req
192. Growling!
Copy !req
193. Morgan!
Copy !req
194. Morgan!
Copy !req
195. Morgan!
Copy !req
196. Morgan!
Copy !req
197. Morgan!
Copy !req
198. Morgan! You here!
Copy !req
199. Morgan!
Copy !req
200. Morgan say something!
Copy !req
201. Growling!
Copy !req
202. Morgan!
Copy !req
203. Morgan!
Copy !req
204. Growling!
Copy !req
205. Growling!
Copy !req
206. ROARS!
Copy !req
207. At this point, things were
going a hell of a lot better
Copy !req
208. for D.B. Cooper. The
plane took off again
Copy !req
209. on a new southeast course
towards Mexico with
Copy !req
210. only Cooper, the Pilot,
the Copilot, a Flight
Copy !req
211. Attendant, and the flight
engineer on board.
Copy !req
212. Now, we all knew that
they weren't going to
Copy !req
213. let Cooper get away with
it that easy so at a nearby
Copy !req
214. Air Force Base, they sent
two fighter pilots after
Copy !req
215. him. One to fly above
and one to fly below, out
Copy !req
216. of Cooper's view, but he
had some more tricks up
Copy !req
217. his sleeve. You see,
D.B. Cooper was
Copy !req
218. prepared. He knew
the danger surrounding
Copy !req
219. him... Something that we,
unfortunately, still did not.
Copy !req
220. Growling!
Copy !req
221. Where the hell are all the
goddamn turkeys?
Copy !req
222. Does this answer your
question?
Copy !req
223. Jesus... What kind of
animal would do that?
Copy !req
224. I don't know. A bear?
Copy !req
225. I didn't come out here
to hunt bears.
Copy !req
226. Neither did I. Maybe we should
get back to the lodge.
Copy !req
227. Ya, That's a Good idea.
Copy !req
228. Growling!
Copy !req
229. Growling!
Copy !req
230. What is it?
Copy !req
231. Nothing... It's just...
You hear stories about out here.
Copy !req
232. What kind of stories.
Copy !req
233. Local legends about some
kind of creature roaming
Copy !req
234. around in these woods.
Bigger than a man.
Copy !req
235. Stronger than a bear.
Copy !req
236. You can't tell me you
believe in those things.
Copy !req
237. I don't, but I do
trust my instincts.
Copy !req
238. That's why
I'm still alive.
Copy !req
239. You want to head back
empty-handed?
Copy !req
240. Come on, these turkeys
ain't gonna shoot themselves.
Copy !req
241. Noel! Look out!
Copy !req
242. Noel should have gone
back but he was just as
Copy !req
243. stubborn as I usually
am. There was nothing
Copy !req
244. else I could do.
Copy !req
245. I'm gonna change.
Copy !req
246. Into what?
Copy !req
247. Haha your Funny. You're funny.
You're a funny man.
Copy !req
248. That's why they pay me
the big bucks.
Copy !req
249. I'm going for a swim.
Copy !req
250. Growling!
Copy !req
251. Growling!
Copy !req
252. Growling!
Copy !req
253. Growling!
Copy !req

Copy !req
263. Growling!
Copy !req
264. Growling!
Copy !req
265. What is it now?
Copy !req
266. JOHNNY, What the hell is
going around here!
Copy !req
267. JOHNNY?
Copy !req
268. Chuck!
Copy !req
269. Morgan!
Copy !req
270. Stop foolish
around, guys.
Copy !req
271. Look I'm gonna count to
three and if you guy's don't
Copy !req
272. come out, by the time I
count to three I'm going
Copy !req
273. to get mad and when I
get mad you will not like it..
Copy !req
274. One... Two.. Three...
Copy !req
275. Growling!
Copy !req
276. Gasp!
Copy !req
277. Growling!
Copy !req
278. Growling!
Copy !req
279. Growling!
Copy !req
280. Growling!
Copy !req
281. Growling!
Copy !req
282. Okay, Captain. Now
please hold it steady at
Copy !req
283. 100 knots with a 10,000
foot altitude. Good. Now,
Copy !req
284. lower the wing flap to 15
degrees and keep the
Copy !req
285. cabin unpressurized.
Copy !req
286. Look, Mr. Cooper, under
these flight configurations,
Copy !req
287. we are going to need a
second refueling before
Copy !req
288. we are going to need a
second refueling before
Copy !req
289. entering Mexico.
Copy !req
290. That's fine. We can do
that in Reno, Nevada. Now,
Copy !req
291. please everyone remain in the
cockpit with the doors closed.
Copy !req
292. I have some money to count
and don't wish to be disturbed.
Copy !req
293. Are you in need of some
assistance, Mr. Cooper.
Copy !req
294. No. Everything is under control!
Copy !req
295. At approximately 8:13, the
aircraft's tail section
Copy !req
296. sustained a
sudden upward movement
Copy !req
297. and the rest, as they say, went
down in history...
Copy !req
298. literally.
Copy !req
299. And that, my dear friends,
is all the world knows
Copy !req
300. about what happened
to D.B. Cooper. To this
Copy !req
301. day, the FBI and millions
of people still wonder if
Copy !req
302. he survived and got away
with the money or if he
Copy !req
303. did indeed die in the
jump.
Copy !req
304. Well, I am here to finally
clear up the mystery once
Copy !req
305. and for all because I am
the only one who knows
Copy !req
306. what happened.
And who am I, you might
Copy !req
307. be asking? Bernie Doyle,
Cooper's accomplice.
Copy !req
308. I served under him in the
Vietnam war and like I
Copy !req
309. said, would do
anything for Cooper...
Copy !req
310. And who is D. B.
Cooper? I'll let
Copy !req
311. that remain a mystery.
Copy !req
312. Eww uh!
Copy !req
313. Uh!
Copy !req
314. Jeez!
Copy !req
315. Uh Well
Right on time.
Copy !req
316. Any problems?
Copy !req
317. Piece of cake.
You?
Copy !req
318. There were some college kids
at the lodge that I
Copy !req
319. had to take care of.
Copy !req
320. I hope nobody got hurt.
Copy !req
321. A little bump on the head.
He'll survive.
Copy !req
322. Growling!
Copy !req

Copy !req

Copy !req
336. Growling!
Copy !req
337. That sounded like Noel.
Copy !req
338. Wait!
Damn it!
Copy !req
339. I was right. The stories
were true! They're all true!
Copy !req
340. Growling!
Copy !req
341. Bernie, what the
hell is that?
Copy !req
342. Better question. How far away
did you park your pick-up truck?
Copy !req
343. I parked it about ten
minutes away from here
Copy !req
344. and hiked the rest of the
way.
Copy !req
345. Did you see where it went?
Copy !req
346. No.
Copy !req
347. By the time I stopped
firing, it was gone.
Copy !req
348. Hey, did you decide to
go with the real bomb or...
Copy !req
349. Fake bomb. Couldn't blow up a
twig.
Copy !req
350. I never intended to hurt
anybody today.
Copy !req
351. I wish that creature would
follow your example.
Copy !req
352. The one contingency I didn't
plan for today...
Copy !req
353. Was An eight foot tall
missing link.
Copy !req
354. Maybe we scared it off.
You want to run for it?
Copy !req
355. Ya. Okay. Only give me
the rifle.
Copy !req
356. What!
Copy !req
357. Come on, You know I'm
the better shot. Come on,
Copy !req
358. Give me!
Copy !req
359. Just like we're back in Vietnam,
huh?
Copy !req
360. Only the pay is a lot better...
Go! Go!
Copy !req
361. Growling!
Copy !req
362. No... It's not going to
end like this! The most
Copy !req
363. successful air piracy in
American aviation history
Copy !req
364. foiled by a mythical
creature!
Copy !req
365. Growling!
Copy !req
366. Ahhhh!
Copy !req
367. Ahhhh!
Copy !req
368. Uh!
Copy !req
369. Growling!
Copy !req
370. Ahhhh!
Copy !req
371. Growling!
Copy !req
372. Snarling!
Copy !req
373. Uh!
Copy !req
374. Uh!
Copy !req
375. Snarling!
Copy !req
376. No! Not my money, you
hairy son-of a- bitch!
Copy !req
377. Oh my God... You did it.
You stole two-hundred
Copy !req
378. thousand dollars,
jumped out of an airplane
Copy !req
379. AND killed one of the
greatest urban legends.
Copy !req
380. You're... famous.
Copy !req
381. Ya I'm famous.
And you cant tell
Copy !req
382. anybody about this ever!
Copy !req
383. Ahh! Uhh!
Copy !req
384. Uh! I think You...
you should go, Bernie.
Copy !req
385. You're coming with
me, right?
Copy !req
386. I... I don't think so
buddy. He got me.
Copy !req
387. But it's just a scratch.
Copy !req
388. It's not a scratch.
It's the mark.
Copy !req
389. Get out of here, Get out
of here .. NOW!
Copy !req
390. Can I... at least have...
the money...
Copy !req
391. Okay! You keep it!
Copy !req
392. And that was the last time
anyone ever saw or heard
Copy !req
393. from D.B. Cooper.
Well, that's not entirely
Copy !req
394. true. Even to this
day... some forty-three
Copy !req
395. years later, you can still
hear him howling in these
Copy !req
396. woods as the search for
D.B. Cooper, I mean...
Copy !req
397. as the search for Bigfoot
continues...
Copy !req
