Netflix's "Db Cooper: Where Are You?" is a deep dive into one of the most legendary unsolved cases in history. The four-part docuseries, which premieres later this summer, will examine the decades-old case of Db Cooper, an unidentified man who hijacked an airplane flying between Portland and Seattle in 1971. After escaping with 200,000, valued at nearly 1.4 million today, Cooper leapt from the plane and vanished without a trace. Over the past 50 years, investigators and crime specialists have worked to piece together Cooper's identity - to no avail.
Theories suggest that Cooper could have been a Boeing employee, a skilled paratrooper, or even a notable serial killer. In 2016, the FBI officially suspended the active Cooper investigation and released evidence from the plane, including a clip-on tie, a mother-of-pearl tie clip, and eight cigarette butts, sparking even more theories about the skyjacker's identity.

The doc focuses on cult leader Warren Jeffs and those who survived his chilling reign in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Flds).

“How could you place a human over God?”
Such is the reasoning for enduring the generational abuse at the hands of self-professed prophet Warren Jeffs, who led a secretive polygamous sect of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Flds). Netflix’s true crime docuseries “Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey,” streaming June 8, analyzes the radical arm of the Mormon Church of the Latter-Day Saints, with Jeff at the helm of an abusive polygamist child-marrying branch.
Jeff accumulated 78 wives — 24 of which were underage girls — over the course of his religious dictatorship. “Keep Sweet” interviews survivors and former wives of Jeff, including one woman who wed him at age 14.
“Young girls were like a commodity owned by the church,” a commentator says in the trailer.
Another adds, “The more the wives, the more children you have, the higher in heaven you will be.”
