Nine years after D.B. Cooper vanished, an eight-year-old boy digging a fire pit on the Columbia River pulled three rotting bundles of ransom money out of the sand. It was the first physical evidence in nearly a decade, and it raised more questions than it answered.

In part two of three, Katie Ring follows the FBI's hunt: the copycat who may have been Cooper himself, the secret hidden in his tie for 36 years, and the suspects investigators could never fully rule out.

This episode contains descriptions of a hijacking and the threat of violence. Please listen with care.
