On a cold November evening in 1971, a man in a dark suit and sunglasses boarded a Northwest Orient Airlines flight, ordered a bourbon, and coolly handed a note to a flight attendant. Moments later, he revealed a chilling message—he had a bomb and wanted two hundred thousand dollars in cash.
After securing the ransom and releasing the passengers, he did the unthinkable. Somewhere over the Pacific Northwest, he strapped on a parachute, stepped to the edge of the plane, and vanished into the night. No one saw him land. No body was ever found. The money never surfaced.
