D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?! is a docuseries which explores one of the greatest mysteries of the 20th century – the identity of D.B. Cooper, a hijacker who escaped a 1971 aircraft with $200,000 (£168,000).

In November 1971, an unidentified man took over a Northwest Orient Airlines flight from Portland to Washington, after threatening that he had a case full of explosives, and asked for $200,000 in ransom – which now would be worth over $1.3 million.

After getting the ransom and asking to be flown to Mexico City, the man parachuted over southwestern Washington and was never found or identified.

Purchasing his airline ticket under the name Dan Cooper, the hijacker became known as D.B. Cooper and this Netflix series looks at the clues and potential suspects over five decades later.
