She hijacked a plane. Then vanished into thin air. Or did she?
In 1971, a mysterious figure known as D.B. Cooper hijacked a commercial airliner, demanded a ransom, and parachuted into legend—never to be seen again. Decades later, Barbara Dayton, a trans aviator and ex-military parachutist, confided to friends that she had pulled off the heist before transitioning. Was it true? Or just a brilliant myth crafted by a brilliant woman tired of being erased?
This episode dives into one of America’s greatest unsolved mysteries through a radically queer lens—exploring gender, identity, and the question of who gets to be a legend.
Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light—all with a cold one in hand.
