In 1971, a man hijacked a plane headed to Seattle, received a $200,000 ransom, jumped out of the plane and disappeared forever. 

50 years later, law enforcement has made no significant progress in identifying this man or confirming his fate.

The documentaries, books and celebrations dedicated to his actions ensure that his  name lives on, even if we’re not exactly sure that he did.

A boy scout in his younger years, he’d traded in his uniform for homemade tattoos, a spiked green mohawk and a spiked collar necklace to match. If he wasn’t wearing black, he was wearing camouflage. And the only time he wore anything other than combat boots and his leather jacket, was when he was skateboarding.
