October nineteen seventy two, two congressmen board a small plane in Alaska. They fly into violent weather, terrible spots, just absolutely turned the aeroplane upside down and disappear. Despite a massive search, snow they're gonna find him walking around up there. They're never found. The case goes cold, that is until I start researching it. I'm standing right little of Portage Pass in Alaska. My name is John Waalzack. I'm a journalist based in New Orleans, and what I've found is one of the strangest stories you've never heard. Did he indicate what was in the suitcase? He said it was a bomb. Mysterious radio transmissions of what they heard of the plane going down. The mafia was tough time for law enforcement. There was a lot going on. There was a lot of crime. Cocaine was everywhere, and edged bombing on FBI Anchorage, FBI headquarters, and a brand new lead on the planes location. It looks pretty shiny, but it was shredded like it was torn off. So join me as I travel from Arizona to the Arctic Circle tracking down sources. I was the last person to see the man alive, trekking into the bush. What happens is that the wind just roars down the glacier. Trying to figure out what happened to Congressman Hail Bogs and Nick Baggage. You can't write this stuff. You can't, it's crazy.
