  • Mostly very good

    Ryan is oddly emotional, especially on the question of whether Cooper survived the landing. But, he’s a good talker and gets to the point. One problem that hovers over all Cooper podcasts: I think we ran out of evidence a long, long time ago. So, all the discussion is about inferences from the tiny amount of data we do have. And I think that well has run dry. “Suspect” talk seems like a depressing way to fill the void, so I stopped listening to those particular conversations. Still, it will be a... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ned DeHan joins to talk Cooper, Zodiac, Black Dahlia, and Jack the Ripper
Q: Which cases do you find most amenable to new avenues of exploration, and why?
Cooper is the most tractable due to physical evidence like the parachute, tie, and potential DNA, though all four cases (Cooper, Zodiac, Black Dahlia, Jack the Ripper) pose unique challenges; Zodiac DNA and palm prints offer potential leads, but evidence is still contested.
Let's Talk Amelia Earhart with Chris Williamson
Q: What got you into Amelia Earhart and why does her case resonate so much?
Chris Williamson explains that Earhart's enduring legacy, the abundance of conflicting evidence, and the mix of public fascination and scholarly inquiry keep drawing researchers back; for him, it's both a personal passion and a professional puzzle that rewards long-form, evidence-based exploration.
Sleuth Under Fire! with guest Chris Cunningham
Q: What piece of evidence do you think is most misunderstood by the public?
The parachute selection is frequently misinterpreted; the debate around which parachute Cooper chose dominates many discussions, but the underlying details show a more nuanced picture than the headline claim.
Answering Audience Questions #1
Q: Why didn't the FBI investigate Canadian military records?
While they did as much as they could, jurisdictional issues in Canada made investigations difficult for the FBI.
Answering Audience Questions #1
Q: Did the FBI ever retrace the flight under similar conditions and chuck a dummy out of the aft staircase?
Yes, they did consider that idea, but it was deemed too unpredictable and would carry liability issues, so they shelved it.
