The Docket 11.16.23 The Greatest Trick The Devil Ever Pulled

...was convincing us he wasn't DB Cooper (or on the grassy knoll)

the true crime that's worth your time

It’s November, when we observe anniversaries for two of the major-est major cases: the murder of JFK, and the jump into history of DB Cooper. Other topics include the shift of “the news” from public trust to business concern; the politicization of conspiracy theories; whether the Kennedys “sell” anymore; the alternate “JFK Jr. survived” timeline; how DB Cooper non-lethally, modestly, stuck it to the man; and the rarity of a heister keeping it frosty enough to get away with it. Call the Yellowjackets writers, we’ve got notes!
