The Jetpack Murder Case

The Jetpack Murder Case

In the 1990s, inventors Brad Barker, Larry Stanley, and Joe Wright built a functioning jetpack called the RB 2000 and planned to sell it for millions. Their partnership collapsed in greed and betrayal when Wright was found beaten to death just before a lawsuit over ownership. A year later, Stanley kidnapped Barker for eight days to force him to reveal the jetpack's location. Barker escaped, Stanley was imprisoned, and the RB 2000 vanished without a trace.
