Who (name) made up (falsified) the story about Captain Scott walking down the aisle, as if looking for a friend (that part slays me, how could anyone know that?), then approaches Cooper and asks…… Where did that BS come from? How did it end up in your book? I didn’t ask how many copies, did I? I’m asking how this passed editing, fact checking and various reviews, only to be identified as a piece of pure fiction, and lousy fiction at that. Who lied? Who? Name the wormy coward who wriggles and hides in dirt and other things which are disgusting. Who is it? We have been over this before! Ha Ha Ha by D.B.Cooper. A little known paper back regarding the skyjacking. That or it came from Max's book. I forget which one, but Blevins did NOT create that misnomer. It may even have come from an article done on Coffelt....but, that information was previously published in a book or magazine article. It was published before in a book or an article - when Blevins wrote that it was NOT the first time it had been written. Even I thought it was true, until others (such as the co-pilot) claimed it did NOT happen...Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Tobacco was not legal then I would never have smoked my first cigarette. The same will be true for the future generations of young people....just because it is legal they feel it is OK to try it. Pot like Tobacco is addictive. First it was tobacco, then alchohol and then marijuan and soon it will be coke and worst drugs. Making these substances legal does NOT do anything to fix crime. Alcohol, drugs and marijuan destroy lives and minds - the legal prescription drugs are over prescribed and I have been glad to see measures taken regarding this - it is about time. Now, one cannot have multiple Dr.s prescribing a medication and the druggist has to get ID's before filling the drug. When you recieve a narcotic script from the Dr. - you have to show ID and they make a copy of your drivers license. That is how it is here now. It is about time. If one needs pain medications due to a health issue - they should not be denied this - but using multiple Drs. is. Why I only let my family physician write my scripts. When I had surgery I immediately reported this to him and he made it part of my drug file. If the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing then you have a serious problem.Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites 377 22 #36954 December 31, 2012 So good to hear from you Sluggo!!!

Adding to this, is the fact that RobertMBlevins clearly stated that he DIDN’T use HA-HA-HA only gives the bandwidth of being obtuse a new dimension, which before had not existed. Lighten up on the hyperbole while making a flaccid point, mmmm-KAY? What also had been gone over before, but those who are too liquored or drugged up to recall, is the fact that RobertMBLevins claimed to have not owned, nor read any books on DB Cooper before the publication of ‘Into The Blast’, which would have made him a liar on that point, if what skyjack71 assumed was true. Try reading the thread skyjack71 and you would have known that. Oh what a tangled website one weaves……. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skyjack71 0 #36957 December 31, 2012 You have NO idea how many time I have tried to post this tonight and it keeps coming back - Post Deleted: So I am doing a copy and paste like Sluggo taught me to do. Quote What are you getting out of your claimed "search" to prove that Duane was D.B. Cooper and that you are the renowned Mrs. D.B. Cooper? I do not know what kind of answer you are looking for. I am searching for truths - about Duane L. Weber and ALL of his aliases. I want to know how and why he was able to tell me things about this crime - one would only know if they were there and/or had read every article and book and done a tremendous amount of research on...research that was only possible since 1995. Duane did not use a computer and he had NO way to do the research he would have had to have done. They were little things, but things I did NOT find in my inititial searches of books and news articles. Examples of the only source he would have had available to him. Take for example the book I mentioned earlier. Ha Ha Ha by D.B. Cooper. Are you aware there are many things in that book published in 1983 that could ONLY have been known by Cooper? Bet you didn't know this. Definitely the story is fiction, but some of the information was not PUBLIC in 1983. I have the pages folded, but not the paragraphs highlighted. I will try to do this before all is said and done and also try to find where the story was told about the co-pilot (in Blevins defense that statement has been made before...I read it and even found it at one time I thought for the thread and posted the page and book or article). It could have come from The Vegan. The 2 part article in the Vega was HIJACKED (plagerized)from another article in a London magazine written by Sumner (an American journalist and media person) - who was convinced Coffelt committed the crime. The Vegan actual was plagerizim on the part of Coffelt's accomplice's son after the fact - I think Bryant was his name. I am starting to loose words and names so please forgive me if I do not have all of this correct. I am not sure how to answer what seems to be your prime question. I will assure you I did NOT go public without reservations. It took quiet a lot from me and my life to go public, but I was left with NO choice if I was to get answers. I needed answers and all I have found are more unanswered questions - but with an even greater conviction Duane was Cooper or he sure as hell knew who was. Frankly, YES - I believe Duane Weber was Cooper....and if by chance he wasn't - I want to see definitive proof WHO Cooper was. THERE is no way in this world of technology this crime has gone unsolved in 41 yrs - that Cooper vanished without one iota of evidence. There is only one way! Cooper either died and was buried by Duane or Duane was Cooper. The strange things Duane told me - things that were NOT common knowledge about the crime or about Cooper. Such as a scar on one of Cooper's hands! Never mentioned that I am aware of by the media. The things I found along the way in these 18 yrs have only added to my convictions. I knew when Vickie showed up - I had heard that story before. Not just read it or heard it - but I was told about it. WHY not for one moment did I ever doubt Vickie's suspicions. Cons tell other cons stories but Duane was NOT in prison after 1968 and he was not associating with known criminals although you can bet he did some crimes for which he did NOT get caught. I tried my best to find a connection between these two guys - such as where would they have known each other from and how their lives may have intersected. No arrest records coincided - no imprisonments coincided - nothing to link the 2 men - perhaps because there wasn't anything to link other than a news article Duane read and a comment he would make about the article. Not important just another little thing in the past. Duane told me "I knew that man". I got the impression it was in the KS days, but he added a little something. No reason for me to even give it a thought until Vickie showed up here - NONE. I have refrained from asking Vickie personal questions about her father and friends of her fathers and mothers - but maybe I should....that damn convertible has bugged me ever since she told the story - on this thread. Frankly I think there may be a connection - another man just disappears. We discussed all of these things, but I have not until tonight admitted that Vickie's story was NOT foreign to me, but who would have believed me - NOT ONE DAMN SOUL! Now I just don't give a damn what anyone thinks about me and just want the truths that have been hidden for way to long to surface. How do you want me to answer your question? I am answering it the only way I know how and that is to continue to seek and to look and to search for the answers as to why? Why would he tell me this and why would the things in our marriage add up over the yrs to provide the answers. Why didn't I go get a recorder (money was hard to come by at that time)...why didn't I try to understand what he was telling me? I can WHY myself to death and nothing I say will give you the answer you want....Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites 377 22 #36958 December 31, 2012 We've lost a lot of good forum participants including Sluggo, Orange, Safe, Snow and others.

Me resent Marla - NEVER EVER! I would never have placed myself in her position - as I am a relatively private person and in 2000 going public did indeed hurt my career in real estate. Since then I have stayed LOW KEY meaning I stay out of the main stream media. She was pushing a book from day one. Her story changed too many times and her memories are of an 8 yr old - I was approx 40 when I met Duane and we were married 17 yrs but had been together for some time prior to our marriage in March of 1978. I do not go to public functions and do not speak in public. The TV interview I had went badly...I froze. The documentary went badly because of JT and I chose never to go public like that again. I felt like a victim - I was the criminal for being married to an excon for 17 yrs plus. I ramble and no one can follow me. I will change course in mid sentence. I also do NOT care about people knowing who I am. When they find out I feel out of place and they ask questions I do not think are any of their business. People can be very judgemental. I never commited a crime in my life, but I know what it is to live under a microscope. I have sought only to find the truth about Duane and his life. I am not vindictive about it and I am a logical common sense type of person. I am not trying to profit with the story my husband left me with. I would hope it might help others like him and to figure out what made him change - I could build my own ego and say it was me. MAYBE it was - I was NOT like other women he had known - I am different and I am NOT a social animal - I like my privacy and I like things one on one. All I ever needed was a couple of good friends with my spouse being one of those best friends. QuoteFinally, your health seems to have improved over the last week or so. You began playing the health card about 2006 on another web site. And for the last couple of years or so, you have been posting on DZ.com that you and St. Peter are already holding hands. I trust your health will continue to improve. I didn't have 3 surgeries in 11 months for NO reason what so ever. I am looking at a 4th and probably a 5th if they decide I am even a surgical candidate. I have had a few good days recently - doesn't mean I am NOT in PAIN...and doesn't mean I don't have some serious problems! Do you know what Adult Celiacs is and a disease call Carcinoid Sydrome? For yrs I did the flushings and had the horrid rashes and abdominal pains - NO one found any answers until 3 days before my last husband died in 2007. I hope this answers your horrifically insenstive question! The Celiacs can be controlled but the carcinoid flushing/syndrome may remain and 80% of adult onset individuals end up with cancer in one of it forms in vital organs of the body within 5 yrs. I will be going down for a 4th and I am tired of surgeries and I do not know how much more my body can take. I am not even sure I am a surgical candiate and won't know until more tests are run. I really don't want to have another surgery....because I feel I will end up in a nursing home and I am NOT a nursing home candiate. I have extreme allergies to perfumes, colognes, aftershaves, cleaning chemicals, deodorizors and a multitude of things plus an extremely unfriendly diet. This surgery will require rehab - and the rehab will and cannot make the other patients not wear scents. Rehab in my home cannot be done because of the intensive nature of it. Until they tell me I am to have the surgery I won't worry about these thing.Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Robert99 50 #36961 December 31, 2012 QuoteTake for example the book I mentioned earlier.

There are some characters in there that are dead on to people Duane knew. 3. Coooper talks about Pyramid lake he tell me as we approach the lake about a guy who live there. He talks about all of the rock in the landing area. He actually talked about jumping in that area. NO ifs ans or buts. It was small area and the guy was indian. I call there but know one remembered anything, but it is a place you have to go to.. I have taken my medication and not thinking to clearly to night. Remind me early and I will see what I can come up with. 4. Cooper had a partner who was a dunz, because he made mistakes. 2. You say the book contains things that only Cooper could know. The man who wrote the book is probably a woman or she wrote it with the help of a man. The money did not make money because it was not invested. The story about the DOG is ture because Duane told me about doing that yr before the book. It was a dog just like the dog with him in his navy pic - a springer spaniel..... No I do not think the author was Cooper it is what she imagined he did or hope he did. Like I said it has been a long time since I visited the book and some things just stood out at me.

I would not have been so stupid as to admit to the whole world that I have never done any homework nor done proper research on the subject. And yet you wrote a book -- without having done a proper literature review, without knowing what information and knowledge were already out there. That explains a lot of things. What a stupid, stupid thing to do, Blevins. That makes you an uneducated hick.

I would not have been so stupid as to admit to the whole world that I have never done any homework nor done proper research on the subject. And yet you wrote a book -- without having done a proper literature review, without knowing what information and knowledge were already out there. That explains a lot of things. What a stupid, stupid thing to do, Blevins. That makes you an uneducated hick. You always do a literature review first -- that's Research 101., You have reached a new low -- you had no credibility before, and you have even less now. Unbelievable! Pathetic! MeyerLouie Well...that's mainly because I was a book editor who was asked by a guy in New York to go out and research not 'DB Cooper,' but a guy named Kenny Christiansen. But on a matter of point, I did read every single page of the FBI's PDF's, and did a basic review of the news articles published on Cooper since November 25, 1971. I figured that was good enough for the job I had to do. __________________________________________________ But not good enough to come off like you're an expert, know-it-all on this forum. Again, not good enough, still pathetic.

skyjack71 0 #36953 December 31, 2012 QuoteQuoteQuoteJo writesQuoteWA legalizing marijuana was a very bad move. The crime rate will go off the wall... Jo, Care to cite any research linking pot smoking and a rise in crime? 377: Well, look no further than Central KY. Remember the book - I forget the name of it now. Your wife comes from the same neck of the woods as I do! Jo, That KY Cornbread Mafia crime was all about money. If pot is legal the profit and prices go waaaay down. And so does the interest of organized crime in the trade. 377 Maybe so - but to me crime, booze and drugs (which includes POT) all seem to tied up in a package. If Tobacco was not legal then I would never have smoked my first cigarette. The same will be true for the future generations of young people....just because it is legal they feel it is OK to try it. Pot like Tobacco is addictive. First it was tobacco, then alchohol and then marijuan and soon it will be coke and worst drugs. Making these substances legal does NOT do anything to fix crime. Alcohol, drugs and marijuan destroy lives and minds - the legal prescription drugs are over prescribed and I have been glad to see measures taken regarding this - it is about time. Now, one cannot have multiple Dr.s prescribing a medication and the druggist has to get ID's before filling the drug. When you recieve a narcotic script from the Dr. - you have to show ID and they make a copy of your drivers license. That is how it is here now. It is about time. If one needs pain medications due to a health issue - they should not be denied this - but using multiple Drs. is. Why I only let my family physician write my scripts. When I had surgery I immediately reported this to him and he made it part of my drug file. If the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing then you have a serious problem.Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites 377 22 #36954 December 31, 2012 So good to hear from you Sluggo!!!

Adding to this, is the fact that RobertMBlevins clearly stated that he DIDN’T use HA-HA-HA only gives the bandwidth of being obtuse a new dimension, which before had not existed. Lighten up on the hyperbole while making a flaccid point, mmmm-KAY? What also had been gone over before, but those who are too liquored or drugged up to recall, is the fact that RobertMBLevins claimed to have not owned, nor read any books on DB Cooper before the publication of ‘Into The Blast’, which would have made him a liar on that point, if what skyjack71 assumed was true. Try reading the thread skyjack71 and you would have known that. Oh what a tangled website one weaves……. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skyjack71 0 #36957 December 31, 2012 You have NO idea how many time I have tried to post this tonight and it keeps coming back - Post Deleted: So I am doing a copy and paste like Sluggo taught me to do. Quote What are you getting out of your claimed "search" to prove that Duane was D.B. Cooper and that you are the renowned Mrs. D.B. Cooper? I do not know what kind of answer you are looking for. I am searching for truths - about Duane L. Weber and ALL of his aliases. I want to know how and why he was able to tell me things about this crime - one would only know if they were there and/or had read every article and book and done a tremendous amount of research on...research that was only possible since 1995. Duane did not use a computer and he had NO way to do the research he would have had to have done. They were little things, but things I did NOT find in my inititial searches of books and news articles. Examples of the only source he would have had available to him. Take for example the book I mentioned earlier. Ha Ha Ha by D.B. Cooper. Are you aware there are many things in that book published in 1983 that could ONLY have been known by Cooper? Bet you didn't know this. Definitely the story is fiction, but some of the information was not PUBLIC in 1983. I have the pages folded, but not the paragraphs highlighted. I will try to do this before all is said and done and also try to find where the story was told about the co-pilot (in Blevins defense that statement has been made before...I read it and even found it at one time I thought for the thread and posted the page and book or article). It could have come from The Vegan. The 2 part article in the Vega was HIJACKED (plagerized)from another article in a London magazine written by Sumner (an American journalist and media person) - who was convinced Coffelt committed the crime. The Vegan actual was plagerizim on the part of Coffelt's accomplice's son after the fact - I think Bryant was his name. I am starting to loose words and names so please forgive me if I do not have all of this correct. I am not sure how to answer what seems to be your prime question. I will assure you I did NOT go public without reservations. It took quiet a lot from me and my life to go public, but I was left with NO choice if I was to get answers. I needed answers and all I have found are more unanswered questions - but with an even greater conviction Duane was Cooper or he sure as hell knew who was. Frankly, YES - I believe Duane Weber was Cooper....and if by chance he wasn't - I want to see definitive proof WHO Cooper was. THERE is no way in this world of technology this crime has gone unsolved in 41 yrs - that Cooper vanished without one iota of evidence. There is only one way! Cooper either died and was buried by Duane or Duane was Cooper. The strange things Duane told me - things that were NOT common knowledge about the crime or about Cooper. Such as a scar on one of Cooper's hands! Never mentioned that I am aware of by the media. The things I found along the way in these 18 yrs have only added to my convictions. I knew when Vickie showed up - I had heard that story before. Not just read it or heard it - but I was told about it. WHY not for one moment did I ever doubt Vickie's suspicions. Cons tell other cons stories but Duane was NOT in prison after 1968 and he was not associating with known criminals although you can bet he did some crimes for which he did NOT get caught. I tried my best to find a connection between these two guys - such as where would they have known each other from and how their lives may have intersected. No arrest records coincided - no imprisonments coincided - nothing to link the 2 men - perhaps because there wasn't anything to link other than a news article Duane read and a comment he would make about the article. Not important just another little thing in the past. Duane told me "I knew that man". I got the impression it was in the KS days, but he added a little something. No reason for me to even give it a thought until Vickie showed up here - NONE. I have refrained from asking Vickie personal questions about her father and friends of her fathers and mothers - but maybe I should....that damn convertible has bugged me ever since she told the story - on this thread. Frankly I think there may be a connection - another man just disappears. We discussed all of these things, but I have not until tonight admitted that Vickie's story was NOT foreign to me, but who would have believed me - NOT ONE DAMN SOUL! Now I just don't give a damn what anyone thinks about me and just want the truths that have been hidden for way to long to surface. How do you want me to answer your question? I am answering it the only way I know how and that is to continue to seek and to look and to search for the answers as to why? Why would he tell me this and why would the things in our marriage add up over the yrs to provide the answers. Why didn't I go get a recorder (money was hard to come by at that time)...why didn't I try to understand what he was telling me? I can WHY myself to death and nothing I say will give you the answer you want....Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites 377 22 #36958 December 31, 2012 We've lost a lot of good forum participants including Sluggo, Orange, Safe, Snow and others.

Me resent Marla - NEVER EVER! I would never have placed myself in her position - as I am a relatively private person and in 2000 going public did indeed hurt my career in real estate. Since then I have stayed LOW KEY meaning I stay out of the main stream media. She was pushing a book from day one. Her story changed too many times and her memories are of an 8 yr old - I was approx 40 when I met Duane and we were married 17 yrs but had been together for some time prior to our marriage in March of 1978. I do not go to public functions and do not speak in public. The TV interview I had went badly...I froze. The documentary went badly because of JT and I chose never to go public like that again. I felt like a victim - I was the criminal for being married to an excon for 17 yrs plus. I ramble and no one can follow me. I will change course in mid sentence. I also do NOT care about people knowing who I am. When they find out I feel out of place and they ask questions I do not think are any of their business. People can be very judgemental. I never commited a crime in my life, but I know what it is to live under a microscope. I have sought only to find the truth about Duane and his life. I am not vindictive about it and I am a logical common sense type of person. I am not trying to profit with the story my husband left me with. I would hope it might help others like him and to figure out what made him change - I could build my own ego and say it was me. MAYBE it was - I was NOT like other women he had known - I am different and I am NOT a social animal - I like my privacy and I like things one on one. All I ever needed was a couple of good friends with my spouse being one of those best friends. QuoteFinally, your health seems to have improved over the last week or so. You began playing the health card about 2006 on another web site. And for the last couple of years or so, you have been posting on DZ.com that you and St. Peter are already holding hands. I trust your health will continue to improve. I didn't have 3 surgeries in 11 months for NO reason what so ever. I am looking at a 4th and probably a 5th if they decide I am even a surgical candidate. I have had a few good days recently - doesn't mean I am NOT in PAIN...and doesn't mean I don't have some serious problems! Do you know what Adult Celiacs is and a disease call Carcinoid Sydrome? For yrs I did the flushings and had the horrid rashes and abdominal pains - NO one found any answers until 3 days before my last husband died in 2007. I hope this answers your horrifically insenstive question! The Celiacs can be controlled but the carcinoid flushing/syndrome may remain and 80% of adult onset individuals end up with cancer in one of it forms in vital organs of the body within 5 yrs. I will be going down for a 4th and I am tired of surgeries and I do not know how much more my body can take. I am not even sure I am a surgical candiate and won't know until more tests are run. I really don't want to have another surgery....because I feel I will end up in a nursing home and I am NOT a nursing home candiate. I have extreme allergies to perfumes, colognes, aftershaves, cleaning chemicals, deodorizors and a multitude of things plus an extremely unfriendly diet. This surgery will require rehab - and the rehab will and cannot make the other patients not wear scents. Rehab in my home cannot be done because of the intensive nature of it. Until they tell me I am to have the surgery I won't worry about these thing.Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Robert99 50 #36961 December 31, 2012 QuoteTake for example the book I mentioned earlier.

I couldn’t care less if Snowmman called me the source of all evil, if he included the cure for cancer with that statement. But you want to play this idiotic game of politeness living with honesty is beyond the pale. I mean really. Give it a permanent vacation.

There are some characters in there that are dead on to people Duane knew. 3. Coooper talks about Pyramid lake he tell me as we approach the lake about a guy who live there. He talks about all of the rock in the landing area. He actually talked about jumping in that area. NO ifs ans or buts. It was small area and the guy was indian. I call there but know one remembered anything, but it is a place you have to go to.. I have taken my medication and not thinking to clearly to night. Remind me early and I will see what I can come up with. 4. Cooper had a partner who was a dunz, because he made mistakes. 2. You say the book contains things that only Cooper could know. The man who wrote the book is probably a woman or she wrote it with the help of a man. The money did not make money because it was not invested. The story about the DOG is ture because Duane told me about doing that yr before the book. It was a dog just like the dog with him in his navy pic - a springer spaniel..... No I do not think the author was Cooper it is what she imagined he did or hope he did. Like I said it has been a long time since I visited the book and some things just stood out at me.

Sometimes it's tough to devote time to personal reading when I have to review so many ms a month, I'll admit. __________________________________________________ You spend time reading the Ha Ha Ha book but you don't care enough to do a proper literature review of the seminal information on the DBC case. No wonder you know nothing, no wonder you talk out of both sides of your mouth, and no wonder you have no credibility. Reading all the pertinent, seminal information on any subject is the first step in research of any kind. I would not have been so stupid as to admit to the whole world that I have never done any homework nor done proper research on the subject. And yet you wrote a book -- without having done a proper literature review, without knowing what information and knowledge were already out there. That explains a lot of things. What a stupid, stupid thing to do, Blevins. That makes you an uneducated hick. You always do a literature review first -- that's Research 101., You have reached a new low -- you had no credibility before, and you have even less now. Unbelievable! Pathetic! MeyerLouie Well...that's mainly because I was a book editor who was asked by a guy in New York to go out and research not 'DB Cooper,' but a guy named Kenny Christiansen. But on a matter of point, I did read every single page of the FBI's PDF's, and did a basic review of the news articles published on Cooper since November 25, 1971. I figured that was good enough for the job I had to do. __________________________________________________ But not good enough to come off like you're an expert, know-it-all on this forum. Again, not good enough, still pathetic.

Farflung 0 #36956 December 31, 2012 Skyjack71 admonishes with a detached sense of irony: “We have been over this before!” Of all people to get scolded by, for bringing up something more than once, let alone hundreds and hundreds of times, is utterly profound, in an otherworldly and detached way. Adding to this, is the fact that RobertMBlevins clearly stated that he DIDN’T use HA-HA-HA only gives the bandwidth of being obtuse a new dimension, which before had not existed. Lighten up on the hyperbole while making a flaccid point, mmmm-KAY? What also had been gone over before, but those who are too liquored or drugged up to recall, is the fact that RobertMBLevins claimed to have not owned, nor read any books on DB Cooper before the publication of ‘Into The Blast’, which would have made him a liar on that point, if what skyjack71 assumed was true. Try reading the thread skyjack71 and you would have known that. Oh what a tangled website one weaves……. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyjack71 0 #36957 December 31, 2012 You have NO idea how many time I have tried to post this tonight and it keeps coming back - Post Deleted: So I am doing a copy and paste like Sluggo taught me to do. Quote What are you getting out of your claimed "search" to prove that Duane was D.B. Cooper and that you are the renowned Mrs. D.B. Cooper? I do not know what kind of answer you are looking for. I am searching for truths - about Duane L. Weber and ALL of his aliases. I want to know how and why he was able to tell me things about this crime - one would only know if they were there and/or had read every article and book and done a tremendous amount of research on...research that was only possible since 1995. Duane did not use a computer and he had NO way to do the research he would have had to have done. They were little things, but things I did NOT find in my inititial searches of books and news articles. Examples of the only source he would have had available to him. Take for example the book I mentioned earlier. Ha Ha Ha by D.B. Cooper. Are you aware there are many things in that book published in 1983 that could ONLY have been known by Cooper? Bet you didn't know this. Definitely the story is fiction, but some of the information was not PUBLIC in 1983. I have the pages folded, but not the paragraphs highlighted. I will try to do this before all is said and done and also try to find where the story was told about the co-pilot (in Blevins defense that statement has been made before...I read it and even found it at one time I thought for the thread and posted the page and book or article). It could have come from The Vegan. The 2 part article in the Vega was HIJACKED (plagerized)from another article in a London magazine written by Sumner (an American journalist and media person) - who was convinced Coffelt committed the crime. The Vegan actual was plagerizim on the part of Coffelt's accomplice's son after the fact - I think Bryant was his name. I am starting to loose words and names so please forgive me if I do not have all of this correct. I am not sure how to answer what seems to be your prime question. I will assure you I did NOT go public without reservations. It took quiet a lot from me and my life to go public, but I was left with NO choice if I was to get answers. I needed answers and all I have found are more unanswered questions - but with an even greater conviction Duane was Cooper or he sure as hell knew who was. Frankly, YES - I believe Duane Weber was Cooper....and if by chance he wasn't - I want to see definitive proof WHO Cooper was. THERE is no way in this world of technology this crime has gone unsolved in 41 yrs - that Cooper vanished without one iota of evidence. There is only one way! Cooper either died and was buried by Duane or Duane was Cooper. The strange things Duane told me - things that were NOT common knowledge about the crime or about Cooper. Such as a scar on one of Cooper's hands! Never mentioned that I am aware of by the media. The things I found along the way in these 18 yrs have only added to my convictions. I knew when Vickie showed up - I had heard that story before. Not just read it or heard it - but I was told about it. WHY not for one moment did I ever doubt Vickie's suspicions. Cons tell other cons stories but Duane was NOT in prison after 1968 and he was not associating with known criminals although you can bet he did some crimes for which he did NOT get caught. I tried my best to find a connection between these two guys - such as where would they have known each other from and how their lives may have intersected. No arrest records coincided - no imprisonments coincided - nothing to link the 2 men - perhaps because there wasn't anything to link other than a news article Duane read and a comment he would make about the article. Not important just another little thing in the past. Duane told me "I knew that man". I got the impression it was in the KS days, but he added a little something. No reason for me to even give it a thought until Vickie showed up here - NONE. I have refrained from asking Vickie personal questions about her father and friends of her fathers and mothers - but maybe I should....that damn convertible has bugged me ever since she told the story - on this thread. Frankly I think there may be a connection - another man just disappears. We discussed all of these things, but I have not until tonight admitted that Vickie's story was NOT foreign to me, but who would have believed me - NOT ONE DAMN SOUL! Now I just don't give a damn what anyone thinks about me and just want the truths that have been hidden for way to long to surface. How do you want me to answer your question? I am answering it the only way I know how and that is to continue to seek and to look and to search for the answers as to why? Why would he tell me this and why would the things in our marriage add up over the yrs to provide the answers. Why didn't I go get a recorder (money was hard to come by at that time)...why didn't I try to understand what he was telling me? I can WHY myself to death and nothing I say will give you the answer you want....Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skyjack71 0 #36960 December 31, 2012 Quote I am sure you resent Marla trying to cut in on your operation and, heaven forbid, she has been on the same morning talk shows that have ignored you for all these years. Me resent Marla - NEVER EVER! I would never have placed myself in her position - as I am a relatively private person and in 2000 going public did indeed hurt my career in real estate. Since then I have stayed LOW KEY meaning I stay out of the main stream media. She was pushing a book from day one. Her story changed too many times and her memories are of an 8 yr old - I was approx 40 when I met Duane and we were married 17 yrs but had been together for some time prior to our marriage in March of 1978. I do not go to public functions and do not speak in public. The TV interview I had went badly...I froze. The documentary went badly because of JT and I chose never to go public like that again. I felt like a victim - I was the criminal for being married to an excon for 17 yrs plus. I ramble and no one can follow me. I will change course in mid sentence. I also do NOT care about people knowing who I am. When they find out I feel out of place and they ask questions I do not think are any of their business. People can be very judgemental. I never commited a crime in my life, but I know what it is to live under a microscope. I have sought only to find the truth about Duane and his life. I am not vindictive about it and I am a logical common sense type of person. I am not trying to profit with the story my husband left me with. I would hope it might help others like him and to figure out what made him change - I could build my own ego and say it was me. MAYBE it was - I was NOT like other women he had known - I am different and I am NOT a social animal - I like my privacy and I like things one on one. All I ever needed was a couple of good friends with my spouse being one of those best friends. QuoteFinally, your health seems to have improved over the last week or so. You began playing the health card about 2006 on another web site. And for the last couple of years or so, you have been posting on DZ.com that you and St. Peter are already holding hands. I trust your health will continue to improve. I didn't have 3 surgeries in 11 months for NO reason what so ever. I am looking at a 4th and probably a 5th if they decide I am even a surgical candidate. I have had a few good days recently - doesn't mean I am NOT in PAIN...and doesn't mean I don't have some serious problems! Do you know what Adult Celiacs is and a disease call Carcinoid Sydrome? For yrs I did the flushings and had the horrid rashes and abdominal pains - NO one found any answers until 3 days before my last husband died in 2007. I hope this answers your horrifically insenstive question! The Celiacs can be controlled but the carcinoid flushing/syndrome may remain and 80% of adult onset individuals end up with cancer in one of it forms in vital organs of the body within 5 yrs. I will be going down for a 4th and I am tired of surgeries and I do not know how much more my body can take. I am not even sure I am a surgical candiate and won't know until more tests are run. I really don't want to have another surgery....because I feel I will end up in a nursing home and I am NOT a nursing home candiate. I have extreme allergies to perfumes, colognes, aftershaves, cleaning chemicals, deodorizors and a multitude of things plus an extremely unfriendly diet. This surgery will require rehab - and the rehab will and cannot make the other patients not wear scents. Rehab in my home cannot be done because of the intensive nature of it. Until they tell me I am to have the surgery I won't worry about these thing.Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farflung 0 #36965 December 31, 2012 377 says from the balcony of the Hypocrisy and Duplicity Tower: “We've lost a lot of good forum participants including….. Snow and others…. One of the reasons has been the atmosphere of squabbling and personal attacks. I wish we could be more civil with each other.” That’s the single most debasing insult published on this long and in-distinguished thread. So what precisely were the grounds of Snow’s banning, Mr. Long-term memory? Was it being less than polite to Quade? Did you observe this behavior? And you did what, other than the definition of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!? Shame on you, shame. You have an education and the years of seniority to know better, shame! You could have advised Snowmman about his conduct, but did NOTHING. I personally think the man is brilliant, direct and accurate, but everyone has to play this pathetic pantomime of being pure and noble. You blew it on this one 377, BIG TIME. B-I-G T-I-M-E, and you want to punish everyone for your failure. Get over yourself, NOW. I couldn’t care less if Snowmman called me the source of all evil, if he included the cure for cancer with that statement. But you want to play this idiotic game of politeness living with honesty is beyond the pale. I mean really. Give it a permanent vacation. You know full well who are the blathering idiots and mentally challenged, who continually insist on electric underwear and politeness before accuracy, yet behave as if this is the first you have made such a consideration.

You keep up with this absurd approach of allowing deceit and stupidity, in favor of coarse accuracy. Get it? DO YOU GET IT? I want Snowmman back and never wanted him to leave.

skyjack71 0 #36968 December 31, 2012 1. The characturs look like some individuals out of Duane life. - nor than one. 2, It is NO all fictions. There are some characters in there that are dead on to people Duane knew. 3. Coooper talks about Pyramid lake he tell me as we approach the lake about a guy who live there. He talks about all of the rock in the landing area. He actually talked about jumping in that area. NO ifs ans or buts. It was small area and the guy was indian. I call there but know one remembered anything, but it is a place you have to go to.. I have taken my medication and not thinking to clearly to night. Remind me early and I will see what I can come up with. 4. Cooper had a partner who was a dunz, because he made mistakes. 2. You say the book contains things that only Cooper could know. The man who wrote the book is probably a woman or she wrote it with the help of a man. The money did not make money because it was not invested. The story about the DOG is ture because Duane told me about doing that yr before the book. It was a dog just like the dog with him in his navy pic - a springer spaniel..... No I do not think the author was Cooper it is what she imagined he did or hope he did. Like I said it has been a long time since I visited the book and some things just stood out at me. It is 2:30 here and I have to go to bed.Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes it's tough to devote time to personal reading when I have to review so many ms a month, I'll admit. __________________________________________________ You spend time reading the Ha Ha Ha book but you don't care enough to do a proper literature review of the seminal information on the DBC case. No wonder you know nothing, no wonder you talk out of both sides of your mouth, and no wonder you have no credibility. Reading all the pertinent, seminal information on any subject is the first step in research of any kind. I would not have been so stupid as to admit to the whole world that I have never done any homework nor done proper research on the subject. And yet you wrote a book -- without having done a proper literature review, without knowing what information and knowledge were already out there. That explains a lot of things. What a stupid, stupid thing to do, Blevins. That makes you an uneducated hick. You always do a literature review first -- that's Research 101., You have reached a new low -- you had no credibility before, and you have even less now. Unbelievable! Pathetic! MeyerLouie Well...that's mainly because I was a book editor who was asked by a guy in New York to go out and research not 'DB Cooper,' but a guy named Kenny Christiansen. But on a matter of point, I did read every single page of the FBI's PDF's, and did a basic review of the news articles published on Cooper since November 25, 1971. I figured that was good enough for the job I had to do. __________________________________________________ But not good enough to come off like you're an expert, know-it-all on this forum. Again, not good enough, still pathetic.

You keep up with this absurd approach of allowing deceit and stupidity, in favor of coarse accuracy. Get it? DO YOU GET IT? No Farf, I don't get it, but I'll attribute it to my being dense. I have enough respect for your intellect to figure you must be making a valid point but in a manner that I have a hard time understanding. Peace. 3772018 marks half a century as a skydiver.

smokin99 0 #36972 December 31, 2012 Quote We've lost a lot of good forum participants including Sluggo, Orange, Safe, Snow and others. One of the reasons has been the atmosphere of squabbling and personal attacks. I wish we could be more civil with each other. Perhaps if we were some of these folks would return. Snow is banned but the others were voluntary exhiles. Going to hear Gene Parsons of the Byrds play with some local North Coast musicians tonight. Nice weather today on the Mendocino coast. Saw dozens of Grey Whales spouting, heading south. Happy New Year to all. 377 Ahem.....lol...maybe the good forum participants actually have a life. Just kidding....everyone keep their panties straight..Seriously, I too miss some of the voluntary exiles. The forum has tended to nose dive a little more frequently of late. Edited to add...However, I don't think that has anything to do with the intellect, analytical abilities, or digging capabilities of many left standing. Not that anyone said it did, of course ---- just wanting to set that record straight I can take or leave the incorrigible children - sometimes their obnoxious behavior overshadows their contributions. I try to ignore it. If I remember correctly, the banned one tried to come back incognito and still reverted to abrasive-not-ready-for-playground behavior, so go figure. Also, in case no one noticed, Orange1 came back on board in October and November. I smiled at her from across the room, but, other than that, I don't think anyone responded to her posts. I guess we have to treat family a little better if we want em to come visit. Love the Byrds. Saw Roger McGuinn on Marty Stuart's show on RFD tv the other night. Looked and sounded great. Gene wasn't related to Gram, right? Happy New Year to all!but....A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.....Winston Churchill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smokin99 0 #36973 December 31, 2012 Quote Quote Quote ***Wish someone would find out if Sluggo is still alive and how he is doing. That would at least be productive. Alive, well, and too busy for frequent visits to this thread. I really bit off more than I could chew with the Vogtle 3&4 Project. I'm too old for 70-hr weeks. But, if you make your bed, You have to lay in it! Quote Last I heard about Sluggo was he was alive and well and lost interest in Cooper...... No, not lost intrest in NORJAK, interest is still high. In fact, the direction this forum has taken, definately caused me to be less willing to spend time here. Happy New Year. 'Bama or Notre Dame ? lol...I know you aren't asking me, but here in Ga we say "SEC or whatever-conference-Notre-Dame-is playing-in-this-year"? I have a mixed house myself - half Alabama fan, half GA. Most my GA friends will be rootin for the Crimson Tide..... though there are a few that don't like Alabama more than they don't like Notre Dame. but....A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.....Winston Churchill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To correct above.... MatthewCline did respond to Orange1's November post and there were a couple of followup posts on his post. I guess I was really referring to the lack of welcome back posts .....of which I am also guilty as charged. Oh well...carry on.but....A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.....Winston Churchill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
