Before Las Vegas became the entertainment capital of the world, there was Reno. Known as the Biggest Little City in the World, Reno was the legalized gambling, prostitution, and divorce center of the universe. Naturally, there was crime--in the city and in the surrounding Northern Nevada areas as well. Reno is now Nevada's third largest city and continues to grow. Murders Mysteries and Misdemeanors of Reno and Northern Nevada covers some of the city's, and indeed the area's, most unusual crimes--from the shocking murder of skier Sonja McCaskie, to the ingenious cattle rustler who created his own special cattle rustling shoes, to the humorous last words of convicted killer Robert White, and more.

Two days after being hired by the Clark County Sheriff's Department Rhonda Pohs finds herself smack dab in the middle of a murder committed in Red Rock Canyon just outside of Las Vegas. Her investigation leads her to other murders in Nevada to say nothing of other states including her home state of Wisconsin. To solve this mystery, Rhonda must dig deep into the history of the ancient Native Americans who left behind the petroglyphs and rock paintings that seem to draw this killer like a magnet. With the help of her new partner Jenny Sims and her old partner Phil Mason, Rhonda is finally able to bring a mass murderer to justice.

*Includes pictures. *Provides a detailed account of the hijacking, theories over what happened to Cooper, and a discussion of some of the main suspects. *Includes quotes by important participants in the case. *Includes a bibliography for further reading. "Maybe a hydrologist can use the latest technology to trace the $5,800 in ransom money found in 1980 to where Cooper landed upstream. Or maybe someone just remembers that odd uncle." - FBI Special Agent Larry Carr On November 24, 1971, there was little to suggest that the skies above the Pacific Northwest would produce one of the greatest mysteries in American history and a criminal investigation that is still ongoing over 40 years later. However, on the day before Thanksgiving, a man calling himself Dan Cooper boarded Northwest Orient Flight 305 from Portland to Seattle and sat in the rear of the cabin. Shortly after takeoff, the man handed a flight attendant warning that he had a bomb and informed her that he was hijacking the plane. Cooper demanded $200,000, several parachutes, and a truck to refuel the plane when it landed in Seattle. Another flight attendant would later inform authorities, "He seemed rather nice. He was never cruel or nasty. He was thoughtful and calm all the time." When the plane landed at Seattle-Tacoma Airport, Cooper's demands were met, after which he let all of the passengers and most of the crew off. He then told pilot William Scott to fly towards Mexico at no higher than 10,000 feet and at the slowest possible speed, which would also require a refueling stop in Reno, Nevada. About 30 minutes after the plane had taken off, Cooper manually activated the aft air staircase near the back of the cabin and apparently jumped out of the plane shortly after. The plane landed without any problems at Reno about 90 minutes after Cooper had activated the staircase to exit. Despite leaving dozens of fingerprints, as well as a couple of personal effects, authorities could not identify Cooper, even though Cooper was being actively investigated within minutes of hijacking the plane on its way to Seattle. Furthermore, nobody was sure where Cooper landed, or if he even survived the jump, and few clues were found even after one of the most intensive manhunts in American history. Adding to the mystery is the fact that Cooper couldn't possibly have known his precise location when he jumped due to the cloud cover at 5,000 feet obscuring visibility. Since that night in November 1971, only a little light has been shed on the mystery. In 1980, a boy playing along the banks of the Columbia River found some of the stolen money still banded together but in bad shape. This heightened the belief of many that Cooper didn't land safely, and that he may have fallen into a body of water, but the inability to locate other money and the fact that some bills were missing from the discovered packets alternatively suggest that Cooper survived the jump and intentionally buried the money. Either way, the additional findings have only added to the intrigue and speculation over who Cooper was, and the mystery and fascination with the case has only made things more difficult, as it produced apparent copycat attempts and a host of individuals who claimed to be D.B. Cooper on their deathbeds, forcing investigators to check out and refute claims. To date, those in charge of the investigation have enough evidence to eliminate the names traditionally listed as suspects, either through fingerprints or alibis. As a result, the identity of D.B. Cooper and his fate remain unsolved, and over 40 years after he jumped out of that plane, the FBI doesn't know much too more than it did in 1971. History's Greatest Mysteries: The Unsolved Case of D.B. Cooper comprehensively covers the facts, mysteries, and theories surrounding the only unsolved hijacking case in America.

Join me once more as we explore more stories of the forgotten with more tales of accidental and unexplained deaths to unsolved mysteries and forgotten murders. In this second volume of the "Stories of the Forgotten" series, I have uncovered eleven stories that had been lost to the annals of history. Travel with me to the Sacramento City Cemetery where you can visit a monument of love, or head over to the Ione Public Cemetery to learn about its most unique headstone and the sad story behind it. Learn about the tragic 1973 murders in Victor, California, where three families were destroyed by a pair of young serial killers, and then find out the true story behind the Babes in the Woods, the three little girls whose bodies were mysteriously found in the Blue Mountains of Pennsylvania. Then, follow me down to the historic Delta town of Locke, where you will learn the details about a tragic gambling game gone wrong. Next, we travel up to Virginia City, Nevada where I will show you by way of documented sources, the true and correct story behind Julia Bulette's life and death, including my debunking of many of the sensationalized accounts that have been spread as fact for the last several decades. While we're still in the Gold Rush era, let me share with you the over the top life of Fanny Hinkley-Mills a.k.a., Fanny Sweet, whose life was more like something out of an old dime store novel, with an endless series of scandals that followed her like a dark shadow all the way up until her death. Learn all about the peculiar case of Paul Whitice's death. Did he commit suicide? Or was it murder? Then, let's take a look at the Rancheria Murders, including the events that took place afterwards that ended the lives of many more people, including Amador County's first and only Sheriff to die in the line of duty, William Phoenix. In this book, I also take a more in depth look at the story of Anna Corbin's life and death which I have shared in my previous books and blogs. Anna's story is one that has been overly sensationalized on various paranormal programs on television over the years due to her murder taking place at the Preston School of Industry in Ione, California back in 1950. By way of further investigation and help from her family, I have put the pieces of her life & death together for a better perspective of the whole story. And lastly, learn the tragic account of Jennie Bowman, a domestic worker with a heart of gold who died defending the home of her employer during a robbery back in Louisville, Kentucky, 1867. In each case, I present to you a thoroughly researched accounting of every story. This allows you to draw your own conclusions and find out where many of their graves can be found in cemeteries within the United States.
