On Friday, Nov. 13, 1970, Michael Thevis slipped into his office early for an important meeting. With balding hair and a tidy goatee, the 38-year-old business owner looked like any other executive working in downtown Atlanta. His company headquarters spanned an entire city block of historic Marietta Street and commanded annual profits of $25 million—more than Hewlett-Packard or Hershey Foods. But Thevis wasn’t in computers or chocolate. He was in America’s hottest new commodity: pornography.

Frank "Balls-of-Steel” Abagnale pulled his first con on his very own father, then went on to impersonate a pilot, a doctor, AND a lawyer all before he was 20. This guy could do it all! 

With a fake check and a smile, he was damn near unstoppable.

*Other clips were from interviews with Frank Abagnale, himself.

What does a big shot, athletic, good looking, drug dealer and a socially awkward twin serial killer with muttonchops have in common? Nothing, duh. But yet their lives became intertwined in a way that would change them forever. This is the crazy story of Jimmy Keene and Larry Hall.

In part two of the DB Cooper saga we talk about some copy cat criminals, as well as some leading suspects. We recorded this the night before thanksgiving, one of the biggest drinking days of the year, so….yea, this one was a blast! Enjoy, and remember just... “Let DB Be”. 

D.B. Cooper is a name popularly used to refer to an unidentified man who hijacked  a Boeing 727 aircraft in the northwest United States, in the airspace between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, on the afternoon of Wednesday, November 24, 1971. He extorted $200,000, in ransom (equivalent to $1,234,000 in 2018) and parachuted to an uncertain fate. Despite an extensive manhunt and protracted FBI investigation, the perpetrator has never been located or identified. It remains the only unsolved case of air piracy in commercial aviation history, and we hope it stays that way….”LET D.B. BE!”

The Axeman of New Orleans was an American serial killer active in New Orleans, Louisiana from May 1918 to October 1919. Though there were similar murders as early as 1911. The perpetrator was never identified, and the murders remain unsolved. Was the Axeman one person? And if so, Why did he do it? Was it a for the thrill, compulsion, sexual pleasure, or maybe, just maybe….it was to promote Jazz. We kept all options on the table.  -_-
