Tom Kaye is a scientist who works in the fields of paleontology and astrophysics. Somehow his work got him involved in the DB Cooper caper, and like everyone else once he was in he couldn't escape the vortex. He was the lead investigator for the Cooper Research Team, also known as the Citizen Sleuths. All the forensic work done on the case, was done by Tom Kaye and his team. They even had access to all the evidence the FBI had on the case. Check out his website to read about all their work on the case at CitizenSleuths.com.

Thank you.

DB Cooper was a Mercenary - Drew Beeson Apr 14, 2019

Show notes

Drew Beeson is confident he's solved the case. Drew believes the man who jumped out of flight 305 was none other than Ted Braden. Ted Braden was US Special Forces in Vietnam before going AWOL. Later he was caught working as a mercenary in the Congo, and arrested. After his arrest he was released from a military prison under suspicious circumstances. Drew is a sharp guy, and he makes a great case for Ted Braden being the skyjacker. If you have any information regarding Ted Braden please reach out to Drew at drewbeeson@yahoo.com.

DB Cooper was a Guy You've Never Heard Of - Nicholas Broughton - Part Two Apr 04, 2019

Show notes

Nicholas Broughton was forced into investigating Robert Rackstraw aka Airborne Bob. After investigating him for a while he concluded Rackstraw wasn't Cooper so he started looking for a new suspect and found one, James Klansnic. Klansnic is a name that until recently hadn't been on the long suspect list. Nicholas Broughton aka NickyB makes such a great case for James Klansnic that we couldn't cover it all in one episode.
