What do a mild mannered grocery store manager from Northern Michigan and the infamous skyjacker D.B. Cooper have in common? How can a married couple and the aircraft they were traveling in just disappear over a populated area? What really happened to the freighter that sailed out of Grand Haven, over the horizon and into oblivion?
Join author and shipwreck hunter Ross Richardson in exploring the baffling disappearances of a person, a plane and a ship, and other mysterious unsolved disappearances in the Michigan Region.
