Description
On November 24, 1971, a man boarded a passenger plane in Portland, Oregon. Later, he would become known as D. B. Cooper. But that wasn't his real name, and he was no ordinary passenger. He hijacked the plane, demanded $200,000, and parachuted out of the plane with the money. He was never seen again. Who was D. B. Cooper, and what happened to him? Explore the theories behind this crime and why it has become one of history's greatest mysteries.

Gr 4-6--Famous disappearances and intrigues from across the centuries fill the pages of this series. Whether readers are interested in the disappearance of the Roanoke Colony or the secrets of Area 51, pieces of evidence and possible outcomes surrounding each situation are discussed. Maps, illustrations, and photos of people, locations, and artifacts prevent the pages from being overly text-heavy and support the various theories discussed. Investigations over the years, such as Myth Busters reenacting the escape from Alcatraz or Robert Ballard's search of Earhart's missing plane, are included along with other historical information. A recap of the main theories and whether they are believed possible appears in the back matter along with the glossary and recommended reading. VERDICT Will appeal to those who enjoy mysteries and conspiracy theories.
