Retired FBI Agent John Detlor - Only Surviving Original Cooper Case Agent

This is an interview I conducted with retired Special Agent John Detlor. He's the only surviving original NORJAK case agent. He was there the night of the hijacking, searched on the ground with the Army for Cooper, participated in the Sled Test, and also helped out in a "unique" way with a Cooper copycat hijacking. 

Brainstorming Session: Where Did the Witnesses Sit?

This would be best if watched on YouTube because of the use of graphics, but in this episode Ryan decides to try and figure out where the witnesses and some of the other passengers actually sat in the plane. Bill Mitchell himself stopped by in the YouTube chat to give us some insight!
