1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: This was a story that you sent me. Apparently the 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: FBI has given a potential suspect after fifty five years. 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: This is something that happened in nineteen seventy one, November 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: twenty fourth of nineteen seventy one, when a man by 5 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: the name of Dan Cooper purchased a ticket on Thanksgiving 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: for twenty dollars. 7 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:20,319 Speaker 2: Damn, twenty dollars. 8 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: Twenty dollars ticket. Oh man, those were the gold golden 9 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: age of the Skies. For sure. Can't get a ticket 10 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: for twenty dollars anymore, and you can get one. 11 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 2: On Spirit, but I would advise against. 12 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: It absolutely, for a multiplicity of reasons. That being said, 13 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: of course he hijacked the plane. It was a different 14 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: procedure back in the day when they encouraged you to 15 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: just not fight. Yeah, not fight him, do whatever the hijack. 16 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 2: That changed after nine to eleven. Yeah, we're fighting now. 17 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't think that they conceived people would be 18 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: crashing planes into buildings. And I mean this guy didn't. 19 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: He just want two hundred thousand dollars. They gave it 20 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: to him. And then after he picked up the money 21 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: in Seattle and left the hostages, he jumped out of 22 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: the back of the airplane, off of the stairs, which 23 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: had been lowered into the darkness, never to be seen again. 24 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: Fifty years later, and we still have not conclusively. 25 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 2: One picture, just one picture I've ever seen. 26 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 1: Well, not even a picture, sketch. Yeah, but the famous 27 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: sketch of this squirrely looking guy, one with the sunglasses 28 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: and one without. So tell us Jerry who is the 29 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: FBI identified now as a potential suspect. 30 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 2: So they said that the latest release, a new name 31 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 2: has emerged. His name is Raymond Sidney Russell, known as sid. 32 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 2: He was described by one associate to investigators as an 33 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 2: exact likeness for the famous sketch that was released. 34 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: But it goes on a little bit more than just 35 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: a likeness. I mean, he was even an amateur parachutist, correct. 36 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they said he had training seven twenty seven 37 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: aircraft training, former Air Force pilot, parachute training. He believed 38 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 2: that he is one percent capable of this hijack. 39 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, which I think is fascinating. Of course, to a 40 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: certain extent, it's irrelevant because this guy dead. Yeah, he's dead. 41 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,119 Speaker 1: He died like nineteen eighty nine. 42 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 2: The danks nitch. 43 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: No, yeah, no, didn't make it quite that long, so 44 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: you'll never know. Well, the FBI had idea. What's crazy 45 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: about this is the FBI had identified him as a 46 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: potential suspect all the way back in nineteen seventy two, 47 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,119 Speaker 1: so we're talking about. 48 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: A year after he was already on the radar. 49 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: This all went down, and he was already under the radar, 50 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: like you say, but for whatever reason, the FBI didn't 51 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 1: pursue this. So I think, all things considered, it's probably 52 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: a distant possibility. If you want to go on to 53 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: the Daily Mail, they have a picture of this guy 54 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: from a newspaper article that was written in Maine in 55 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight, and then he died the following year. 56 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a passing resemblance, but just because you 57 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: bear a resemblance to a sketch does doesn't necessarily mean 58 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: that you're the perpetrator. And unless they're able to, you know, 59 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: identify some concrete DNA evidence or something, I mean, this 60 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: is still just speculating. 61 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is gonna go, This is going to continue 62 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 2: to go on considered unsolved. 63 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but I mean it would be fascinating if 64 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: if it was solved. I think it was in the 65 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: nineteen eighties that they caught up with a couple thousand 66 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: dollars of lost denomination from the two hundred thousand dollars 67 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: because they attract all those serial numbers and they were 68 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: lost in the woods. So we'll never know what happened 69 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: to that guy. I mean he you know, for all 70 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: we know, he could still be dangling from one of 71 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: the red woods. Yeah up there. 72 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 2: You literally could be hanging. 73 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: Out up there. Yeah, literally picked clean by the buzzards 74 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: and the cash thrown to the wind and long since disintegrated.
