Jack Gilbert Graham
John "Jack" Gilbert Graham (January 23, 1932 – January 11, 1957) was a mass murderer who killed his mother and 43 other people by planting a dynamite bomb in his mother's suitcase that was traveling with her aboard United Airlines Flight 629. Graham's apparent motive for the bombing was to claim $37,500 ($ today) worth of life insurance money from policies he purchased in the airport terminal just before the aircraft's departure.
==Crime==
Flight 629 was using a Douglas DC-6B airliner on the evening of November 1, 1955. The flight had originated at New York City's LaGuardia Airport, making a stop in Chicago before continuing to Denver; it then took off from Denver, Colorado's Stapleton Airfield (later changed to Stapleton Airport), bound for Portland, Oregon, with continuing service to Seattle, Washington. The pilot was Lee Hall, a World War II veteran.
Minutes after the plane's departure from Denver, the DC-6B exploded and the flaming wreckage fell to earth over tracts of farmland and sugar beet fields near Longmont, Colorado. There were no survivors.
Graham's mother, Daisie King, a passenger on Flight 629, was traveling to Alaska to visit her daughter. Graham's apparent motive for the bombing was to claim $37,500 ($ today) worth of life insurance money from policies he purchased in the airport terminal just before the aircraft's departure. (Flight insurance could be routinely purchased in vending machines at airports into the 1980s.〔)
