More than three years after their first episode on the case, Eric, Sean, and Jorge come back to the most famous unsolved skyjacking in American history. On November 24, 1971, a man calling himself Dan Cooper hijacked Northwest Orient Flight 305 and collected $200,000 and four parachutes in Seattle. Then he jumped from the back of a Boeing 727 into the night over southwest Washington and was never seen again.
The hosts start with a quick recap of the hijacking, the ransom money found at Tena Bar, and the JCPenney clip-on tie Cooper left behind. Then they get into what has happened since. Researcher Eric Ulis sued the FBI for access to the tie and lost when a federal judge ruled that a necktie isn’t an “agency record.” YouTuber Dan Gryder found a modified parachute rig and a skydiving logbook on suspect Richard McCoy Jr.’s family property in North Carolina. The FBI kept the rig for two years and then handed it back without explanation. New FBI file releases brought up decades-old suspects and showed that Boeing tested the 727 with its rear stairs open in flight back in 1964.
The guys rank the leading theories and argue over whether Cooper died in the woods or made it to Mexico. They also react to just how many people have claimed to be D.B. Cooper. With CooperCon this week and the 55th anniversary on November 24, the case is back in the news.

Mount Shasta stands alone in Northern California, a 14,000-foot volcano that has drawn more strange stories than almost any mountain in America. In this VIP request episode from longtime Patreon supporter Anna M., Eric, Sean and Jorge trace the legend of Mount Shasta from the beginning. That starts with the massive landslide that once tore the mountain apart and the Native creation stories of the Sky Spirit and the grizzly bears.
From there, the hosts dig into the Lemurians, a tall, robed lost race said to live in a hidden city called Telos inside the mountain and to come down into town paying in gold. They follow the trail of a channeled 1880s book, a mysterious prospector who vanished in 1934 and a self-proclaimed Lemurian princess. Then comes the “I AM” Activity, a crew born from Guy Ballard’s claimed meeting with Saint Germain on the mountain that ended up before the U.S. Supreme Court.
The episode also covers UFO sightings and the viral “flying saucer” cloud of 2020, Bigfoot and the Patterson-Gimlin film, climbers who go missing on the mountain and the Emerald Triangle’s Murder Mountain next door. Is Mount Shasta a portal, a lost civilization’s last refuge, or the greatest legend ever written one article at a time?

In 1893, the World’s Fair turned Chicago into a city of electric light, and on 63rd Street a man calling himself Dr. H.H. Holmes was building something very different. In this Halloween special of The Conspiracy Podcast, Eric, Sean and Jorge tell the true story of Herman Webster Mudgett, the New Hampshire farm boy who became a con man, a bigamist and one of the most notorious killers in American history.
Eric, Sean and Jorge follow Holmes from medical school, where he learned to cash in on corpses, to the maze-like “Murder Castle” in Englewood. They cover the women who disappeared from his building, the insurance scheme that turned deadly in Philadelphia, and the three children he took across the Midwest and into Canada. They also follow Frank Geyer, the Philadelphia detective who went city to city with the children’s photographs in his pocket until he found what Holmes had done.
Then come the conspiracies. Was H.H. Holmes really Jack the Ripper, as his own descendant claims? Did he escape the gallows and flee to South America? Who set fire to the Murder Castle while he sat in a jail cell? Where did the legend of 200 victims come from? And did a curse follow everyone connected to the case? Eric, Sean and Jorge separate the documented crimes from the tabloid legend in a story that’s dark, strange and true.

Nine and a half years after President Bush said he wanted Osama bin Laden “dead or alive,” Navy SEALs entered a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Thirty-eight minutes later, the most wanted man in the world was dead, and his body was gone within a day. In this final chapter of The Conspiracy Podcast’s 9/11 series, Eric, Sean and Jorge follow the hunt from start to finish, as the War on Terror unfolds around it.
The story starts at Tora Bora in 2001, where bin Laden was within reach and walked away. It moves through the Iraq detour, the black sites and the courier whose nickname finally led investigators to a three-story compound with no phone line, no internet and a tall man who paced the courtyard but never let a camera see his face. Then the hosts walk through the raid minute by minute, from the helicopter crash in the courtyard to the competing accounts of who fired the shots, and the White House story that changed in three days.
Then come the questions the government never answered. Where is the proof? Why were no photos released? Why did no sailors watch the burial? The hosts rank the theories from believable to far-fetched and open the files from the compound itself, including the details that were never meant to become public.
Whatever you believe happened that night, there’s one thing nobody has been shown.
