D.B. Cooper: Where Are You ?!
Coming to Netflix: July 13th
D.B. Cooper: Where Are You ?! – Picture: Netflix
A mystery that’s been 50 years in the making. D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?! recounts the events of a day in 1971 that saw an unknown man hijack a plane and jump out with a bag of stolen money.
The docu-series comes from Marina Zenovich who worked on HBO Max’s The Way Down.
Before diving into the Netflix documentary, we’d thoroughly recommend watching The Search for D.B. Cooper by LEMMiNO on Youtube which up until now, has been the authoritative piece on the mystery.
The limited series arrives on Netflix on July 12th.
