18 Celebrities That Vanished Without a Trace or Explanation

D.B. Cooper

We suppose that we are cheating by using a figure like D.B. Cooper, but we figure that he still should be on this list. Yet to be unidentified, the name Dan Cooper was handed to the unidentified figure who would go on to hijack a Boeing 727 aircraft in 1971. Cooper had purchased his airline ticket under the name Dan Cooper, this leading to the name we have given him.

Cooper would jump from the airline that he had hijacked while taking nearly $1.26 million dollars in money-adjusted-for-inflation. Nobody knows what happened to Cooper once he left the plane. Some say he survived, others figure that he died upon landing.
