He will uncover what may be the true identity of infamous hijacker D.B. Cooper, reveal a shocking theory that outlaw Billy the Kid faked his own death, investigate the lost fate of James Dean’s cursed car, discover new evidence in the terrifying case of America’s first UFO abduction, and much more.
