Transcript

A man jumped from a moving plane — and was never found. In 1971, a man in a suit claimed he had a bomb — and demanded $200,000. Authorities paid him. He strapped on a parachute — then jumped into the dark. No body, no parachute — but years later, some of the cash turned up on a riverbank. The FBI investigated for 45 years — and closed the case in 2016, still unsolved. He's still the only unsolved hijacking in U.S. history. Follow for more cases like this.
