If Duane was NOT with his family 11-24-71
then let JO WEBER PROVE IT! It's her case.
Reply> Trying to reconstruct this -
Jo went to Portland in 2001, five day trip, for a filming
of her story. The filming was done in Portland?
Jo had made several prior trips to Washington,
one with Duane? In her 2001 filming trip she wanted
to find places she and Duane had visited earlier, or places she thought relevant to Duane's claim of being Cooper. Jo contacted the Thomas' in order to get help
finding the right places, but Jerry Thomas could
make no sense of the places Jo was talking about?
Presumably the filming went forward without
identifying or mentioning any of the places relevant
to Jo's story that Duane was DB Cooper?
Included in these places is a power line and logging
road Jo says Duane walked out of after landing.
Precisely where these are I do not know. However,
Tom Kaye also asked me (if I knew where these
were?) after Tom read Jo's story. I do not know if
Tom has been able to identify this power line and
logging road, the shed, all contained in Jo's story.
Presumably Jerry Thomas could make no sense of
the places Jo was asking about. So, by the end of
the filming five days later, Jo is sitting outside her
Hotel waiting for a ride, and a truck driver (Angel
Udell) walks up and asks if she can help. Angel
Udell takes Jo in her truck and they are able to find
each one of the places or landmarks Jo had been
looking for ... which Jo thinks fills out the details of
how Duane walked out of the woods after landing,
11-24-71.
The above I have pieced together using Jo's posts
below: starting with her replies to Shelly Thomas,
and then ending with Jo's first post on this matter.
"""It is not I who could not keep my information straight - I tried without success to describe the places.
-----------------------------
How could I change anything - I couldn't get anyone to understand where the places where - I even tried to draw a picture. I tried to find Jerry before I went out there, but I had lost contact with him. I wanted him to see what I found that last day. He kept going other places and didn't think the locations I tried to tell him about where important. He consistently told me that Washougal could not be on my left unless I was going South - but I found it and I found what I thought was a river - it was a long lake. It was all there.
I don't remember sending a letter unless it is where I tried to draw the site and if I mentioned LaCames it had to have been after the trip. Dollars Corner was STILL there when I was in WA.
I did not try to undermined Jerry's credibility - just the ability of anyone to understand what I was describing on the phone hundreds of miles away. Other than that I said NOTHING Sluggo had not said.
Jerry is good man and he tried to help...but I couldn't communicate to him in a manner he could understand - the area I tried over and over to describe. """
and Jo's first post on this matter:
""" Interesting statistics. The woman was a truck driver in the area for 20 or 30 yrs. Not going to the notes to be exact - but that was 2001 and if she had been driving for 20 yrs that is 1981. She approached me telling me I seemed troubled. I was waiting on my ride and sitting on a bench in front of the Hotel. She asked if I had a problem (I didn't think I looked like I was troubled). I told her she couldn't help me because I was looking for places I had been told didn't exist. This is when she told me she had been a truck driver in the area for 20 yrs and pleaded with me to describe them. During the 5 prior days no one took me to anything that vaguely matched what I saw in 1979. She did not hesitate to tell me the locations of the places I described and her directions where specific. The locations were dead on - I will never forget that day as long as I live. I am not particularly religious, but earlier I had thrown a flower into the Columbia and spoke out loud to God and to Duane - "I have been here for 5 days and I don't know anymore than I did the 1 st day. It's all up to you guys now." Over an hour later - my "prayer" is answered. The trip to WA was not futile. Why was she at the front door of the Hotel if she was making a delivery of some sort? This hotel was on the Portland side of the river...the address she gave me was also Portland - and when I contacted the business at that address - they never heard of her. I expect she gave me a fake name and the address of one of her deliveries, but WHY. Hence - Why I call her my Angel Udell. ''''

PS Georger: They used ground detecting radar in the backyard and dug Symba up that same month. I have sold the house and no longer live in the area.
I dont have the faintest idea what you're talking
about.
I'm assuming "Symba" is a reference to The Symba Bill. Supposedly there was a $20 bill that Jo got rid of that was found in a a bank called Symba? Or something like that?
I think the $20 was radioactive, which is why it was disposed of.
That's all I know.
Jo said on 8/15/07:
I do believe he kept one of the bills and that I inadvertantly disposed of it - WHY!? - because I didn't know who Dan Cooper was and it was just an old $20 bill in a bank called "Symba".
Laughing. I may have a cigar. I finally won
something. Im on a roll! .......
