Nov 15, 1979 Season 5 Episode 9 Crime, Drama, Mystery

Five years after notorious hijacker R.W. Collins escaped by parachuting from a plane with stolen cash, his lifeless body is discovered hanging from a tree in the very National Park he jumped over. He had perished before hitting the ground and has remained undiscovered for half a decade. Quincy and Sam are dispatched to investigate his true identity. Upon arrival, they quickly realize the situation is far more dire than anticipated: the anthrax spores Collins had utilized during the heist have been released with the discovery of his corpse, putting anyone nearby at risk of infection.
