Re-Imagined Radio presents “D.B. Cooper’s Last Interview”

Re-Imagined Radio will premiere “D.B. Cooper’s Last Interview” at 1 p.m. Nov. 17. Just in time for the anniversary of one of America’s great unsolved crimes, this episode is a factual documentary with a fictional ending. Adapted from a story by Tom Vandel, “D.B. Cooper’s Last Interview” blends research, archival news and dramatized excerpts to explore the only unsolved case of passenger air piracy in U.S. history. On Thanksgiving Eve 1971, a man who purchased a ticket under the name Dan Cooper hijacked a Northwest Orient Airlines flight, secured a $200,000 ransom and parachuted into the night over southwest Washington. Despite decades of investigation, D.B. Cooper was never found. The program will air on KXRW-FM (99.9) in Vancouver and KXRY-FM (91.1 and 107.1) in Portland.
