*********Just added four short videos on the Washougal river theory

Here is part 1 of 4 parts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ph2wG-MYJc

Just clickifying the link.



I thought I had read a previous posting from GreyCop that the money was planted for the Ingram family to find on Tina bar. Now he is stating it came from the Washougal???

I think he is attempting to show that it did not come from the Washougal. I forget his exact words but something akin to "exteme foolishness" of those who think it did.

Though I think there are probably less people that subscribe to that theory than do subscribe to it, so I'm not sure what the point is. Though it looks like he had a nice drive and I enjoyed looking at the area.
I found and watched the other three videos. YouTube did not link them to the first video I watched. After seeing the others I believe you are correct in your assumption. Lots of pretty scenery, forests, hills and mountains near the Washougal basin.

Which kinda ties into G's speculation about Cooper being associated with the protest movement

Supposively Cooper was in his mid 40's at the time of the hijacking. That was over the hill 40 years ago.

Lordy Lordy DB Cooper is 40.

Quote

Over the hill at 40? Not where I come from. Wage Earner Sheeple
were still working into their 70s and 80s, because they still didn;t
trust Social Security or bankers, or the Govt. School teachers
were forced to stop working at 70 then they became active
substitutes three days a week - so the younger crowd could
"rest"!

The only good protester was a dead protester!

Let's clean up Nam and the universities next while we're at it!

And the women outlived the guys by 10 years.

Mid 40s to mid fifties where I come from was "only getting
started, Kid!".

Its easy to see you come from the credit card gen-X crowd.

He's touching on doing something though that I wish someone in the pro documentary business would do - it is interesting to see the Washougal after hearing about it for so long. Or seeing what the projected dropzone (wherever that is) looked like on the ground and from the air in the daytime. Or interview some of the NWA and FAA and FBI people who were actually there. maybe snag an interview with a flight attendant You know - Not just the same old same old Ariel videos - though those are fun to start they get kind of boring after awhile

Most of the shows and docudramas focus on the actual hijacking - it's kind of cool to see the area and landscape of where he might have jumped. I wonder if he will videotape the TBar next. Hint, hint.

Georger you ask: "Did Sailshaw ever know people who hung around Sheridan at
work or otherwise politically? Somebody quiet but intelligent."

My answer is: "No I never met anyone that knew Sheridan" When I talked with Earl Cossey he quickly denied that he knew Sheridan even though he had to have known him at the Issaquah Sky Sports where Sheridan took the Boeing Skydiving club and received his Instructors rating. I think Cossey was trying to cover for Sheridan and actually knew him well. As far a the FBI not making mistakes, the two kinds of Titanium on the tie should have led them to Boeing Materials and Research Lab 9-101 bldg that was just under the office that had the Manual and Handbooks Group that Sheridan worked in before Norjak. His tie could have been exposed to the scrap bins many times as he looked through the neat scrap in them. The FBI overlooked that important clew that lead to Boeing and Sheridan. The DNA the FBI thinks is DB Cooper's could have been on the tie clasp held in the mouth of his girl friend while she was getting him dressed. I believe they don't have DB's DNA and that is why it is so important that they examine the DNA under the stamps/envelop flaps of the four letters written just after Norjak. Comparing with what they have from Sheridan will solve the case quickly and blow Sheridan's perfect alibi wide open of being in Nepal at the time of Norjak.

I have made the same mistake, 1974, and Letter is in Seattle FBI office. It was sent in 1974 to Canadian Province newspaper. The paper was originally called The Daily Sun or something like that. It changed names a long time a go.

So if you call Washington Historical Society and correct this maybe they will have it in time for the exhibit. That's alright ill be there with a copy for display with the rest of my evidence and my original composites AND the GPS Coordinates of where the money sat rotting prior to being placed on Tina's bar thanks gc 148

I seen a couple of them. GC148 is a code he says. break it, and you break the case.

Loosing track of who said what.
A California paper received a note supposedly from Cooper with a number code on it....it telling them if they could decipher it that could find him.

One of the older journalist there said they figured it was forwarded to the FBI. The code was Duane's navy and army number written in Code - it was in the back of the metal address thing he had. I had asked Duane what the numbers were and he said it was code for his Navy and Army number. This was during the last yr he was alive.

My comment to him was "You were never in the Army". Remember I was unaware of the ARMY "time" until the brother provide the proof he was and Doug Pasternak provide the official proof that Duane was in the Army and the FBI had claimed he was never in the Army. Perhaps they did not consider a few wks If you can call a few wks being in the Army! He was DISCHARGED as an undesirable.

That Code was on the same page as a Chicago phone number he was supposed to call if he was ever in trouble. This was discussed in the thread.

Seems like the entire Cooper Story has become a Spoof.

Jo, you keep saying "supposedly" I have never heard of this letter. if it had Duane's military numbers on it, that would be proof. but I don't recall reading anything about a coded letter sent. how could something "supposedly" add up to anything?

Hi, GC148 here, I 100% appreciate your response, all the letters typed or hand written all had handwriting on the envelopes, even playboy cutout sent to Oregonian.

You will notice the only time cooper breaks his pattern of handwriting is in the first letter to Oregonian (1971) the lower case 'n's only because he was staring at the news paper as he wrote it to make sure he spelled right you must look at all of it not just one part unless you can look at 13 different pieces of evidence at one time. It will always be hard to solve any crime. Remember it was the smallest thing to catch ted bundy parking ticket ran stop sign after traveling 100s of miles only to return to his car to see his name and license plate number and time he was there not a good alibi if your going to say you weren't there

So look at all the letters and envelopes 1 thing ties them together db cooper not a good alibi if the hand writing matches. Northwest airlines connects all letters, suspect, plane even the ticket it self has nw on it.. so to solve any crime you simply look for an undeniable pattern that you simply can't ignore there are coincidences in life and love but not in criminal behavior once you find the pattern is only a matter of time an your willingness to stick with it no matter what day or night 24hr a day gc 148 and you truly will solve the crime

Here is part 1 of 4 parts

Look forward to seeing your next 3 videos.

Maybe you would know the following or somebody else.

Evidently $5,800 dollars was found in three bundles by Ingram.

That means ten 20 dollars bills were not in one of the 3 bundles
because each bundle was suppose to contain one hundred
20 dollar billls???

I'm wondering if the Hijacker might have taken 200 dollars
from one of the bundles as a clue to proove he survived.

Did the FBI purposely bundled some bundles with only 90 bills?

The FBI released the serial numbers of all the 20 dollar bills given
to Cooper.

FBI claims the Ingram three bundles recovered matched the serial number sequence they had bundled for Cooper.

Did they release the serial numbers of the bills found by Ingram?

I wonder if the FBI bundled the bills in sequence as found in the
list they released.

Be interesting to find out if the missing ten 20 dollar bills were from
within the innter part of the bundle or came off the outter part of the bundle.

Seems like the bills would break off from the outside of the bundle
first, if they got lost to the enviroment.

My opinion only, but I see several problems with the handwriting comparisons

-

Anyone who has followed the evidence on the notes in the Newpapers, all of the books and articles written will diss this in a N.Y. minute. I had extensive conversations with 2 of the new papers because I had a personal agenda to track on of the supposed note. It was the army & navy number in code and the letter was mailed just a few miles from where Duane's sister live. The sister I thought I was the woman who was with Duane the last time she laid eyes on him in 1971.

In 2004 her relief upon meeting me - she broke into a smile. Then she realized I was not "that" woman who was with Duane. She had a mild heart attack when she found I was visiting her brother and begged me to "Leave the Past in the Past", but she thought I was the woman with him in 1971.

The smile on her face and the relief you could see and hear. She sent me a really nice letter letter and in it begged me to leave the past in the past. The brother felt it was about her image with friends - this John said as he walked to the car with me and my husband. She knew her brother had some information to give me "Duane had jumping experience". This note was what John wanted to discuss with me, but instead as we ate dinner there was a call that the sister was in the hospital.

John and Tosaw knew each other and John's wife knew the sister. The ywent to the same Bible study classes and belonged to the same boat club until they relocated. John and I were to have a private conversation in his office where he had an amplifier so he could hear me. We never got to do that and talking to John on the phone was useless.

By the way the note was found in John
s files, but the person who received his file - did NOT know where the NOTE came from. The individual who got the family records has shared hardly anything with me. Perhaps she thinks they have value and some of she could not even view as it was on disks. I will never know what is buried in that. I offered to have someone covert them to disk - but, was told her husband did NOT want to allow us to have access...yet she couldn't do a thing with them as they were.

Too many Secrets!

In the tone of most of your posts you seem to hold a bit of animosity towards Sheridan. Though I personally think no one alive will ever be actually convicted of this crime because it would be too easy to defend, I get the feeling that you really want Sheridan to spend the rest of his life in jail. In fact, I think you've posted this before.

With a couple of exceptions for reasons not related to the hijacking, many folks I've talked to or on this thread are ambivalent about punishing Cooper at this stage of the game - they just want the caper solved for posterity. Not that he's a folk hero - mainly because of his age, the nature of the crime, the relatively benign outcome (I know that's debatable), and the fact that he was able to stump folks for so long.
I mean realistically, in this crime at least, he was no Whitey Bulger.

So I'm just curious - why are you so strong on Sheridan getting his? If you have personal reasons, no big deal and none of our business - I've just often wondered where the intensity of dislike comes from.

Yours are all good points.

Ive asked before: I think you said Sheridan did have a pilot's
license... but did he own a plane or share one? What did he fly?

Undoubtedly Cossey would have known him.

One more thing: did he ever mention Eugene OR to you?
Had spent time there... knew people there ... Eugene in any
context?

There was a letter with some random? alphanumeric characters at the bottom. I think it might have been the Robinhood letter but I'm not sure right now. I've got a copy of a news article with the "code" listed somewhere but having trouble finding it at the moment. You can probably find it with a search of the forum - maybe Duane and code.

[skyjack71 0]

Yes, Sheridan knew Cossey. Sheridan was one my first contacts before I had a computer. Mr. H had provided me with his number and I had brief, but nice talk with Sheridan during my first 2 or 3 yrs chasing this thing.

I never thought to ask Cossey if he knew Sheridan and I did speak with Cossey many yrs later. A relationship between the to guys I did not enquire about.

I also agree that is is highly probable the FBI does not have Cooper's DNA unless they have the cigarettes. They had 2 glasses Cooper handled as the whisky bottles were set inside of them and Tina set them aside.

Why are you asking about Eugene, Or? That is where Duane's step daughter went before she died and was in some kind of program there - cleaning commercial building. She left the program and went back to CA where she OD'ed because of her habit.
She kept some things of Duane's as he was the only father figure she ever had. She had some items she kept in a little case.

There was a man in Eugene who thought he could help her - it did not work.

I got to have a conversation with her a few months before she died and in that conversation she told me she knew Duane was Cooper. I had called to speak with her mother who was not home. The step-daughter told me at that time she knew Duane WAS Cooper and she was mourning the items she lost in her Eugene move.

Duane Weber knew someone in Eugene and he told me about the area....but, he did not want to go down the Coast line. He wanted to go directly to Tahoe. We did NOT got to VEGAS because Duane told me he could never go back to VEGAS. Now I know what that statement meant.

The above addresses subjects involving Weber, but the question you guy are asking refernce other individuals. I did want to refresh your mind on Duane's connection to the things you are enquring about. They are ALL in this thread.

Yup....would be nice. My Brother and I submitted our DNA to NAMUS last Winter and the sequence was uploaded into CODIS in March. However, it can only be compared with unclaimed cadavers and cannot be run through the unknown offender database.

Hey Vicki. The NSA has already compared your DNA to every sample that's ever been recorded digitally. Snowden has looked at it from Russia. If China likes the sequence they might clone you, which wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Hope you are doing well.

No Basic or logic? I discussed this with Mr. H and mentioned the code in his little metal address book....before I ever went public. At that time I was unaware of the Coded message sent to the Reno (I think) Newspaper.

This was done - BEFORE I ever came to this thread! I did not know what the message was until I was posting in the thread.

When I talked to Mr. H in the early yrs I had NO knowledge of the content of the coded message sent to a Reno News. I had told Mr. H about the code in the back of the book during the early yrs before I ever spoke to the media....remember I had been into this for 4 yrs before I made media contact. It was 2000 and I was fed up - because OF no communications between myself and the FBI. Then when I cornered the agent on false information - I went PUBLIC.

no, I don't believe Cooper is your only interest, but, I do see the normal mistakes typically made by you.

Eye witnesses have often made mistakes in describing physical features of a accused criminals. I personally saw cases where witnesses got eye color dead wrong.

Brown contacts were used by FBI infiltrators into the American Indian Movement in the early 70s.

Sheridan Peterson was only ruled out by DNA. If the FBI was certain about Coopers eye color they would have ruled Sheridan out immediately. Same goes for his Nepal alibi.

I just can't see Sheridan threatening to kill innocent people just to steal money. He had a bit of scheming and scamming to him as evidenced by
his tales of extending the duration of fires when he was a smoke jumper to get extra pay, but he wasn't a violent criminal. In fact, he seems to be a principled person.

I wish Sheridan would agree to talk with me. He can set the boundaries and I'll respect them. I'd even represent him 100% free if he were ever charged with the skyjack which is very unlikely.

Do I think Cossey knew Sheridan? It's hard to see how he wouldn't have given their mutual presence at the Issaquah DZ. it would be easy to miss a student but riggers and instructors stood out.

I don't think you can find a more qualified Cooper candidate. Doesn't prove he was Cooper though. But he had ALL the skills and may have read the Boeing 727 flight test reports that showed it could be jumped. He worked at Boeing in tech documents dept.

Sheridan is old and ill. I'll bet he'd love to spend a day at a DZ and I'd be happy to take him.

We are not talking about just any eyewitnesses. We are talking about two young, intelligent women who spent 5 hours on a plane with him, sitting next to him and talking to him directly, trying to gather as much info about his as possible for the authorities. It wasn't a fleeting glance.

That is why you cannot dismiss Coop's description out of hand. It is one of the best clues there is.

I am thinking out of the box here....... If Cooper had and was using Benzadrine, or another type of stimulant, wouldn't he more than likely have one or more of the common side effects of using a stimulant.

Stimulants can/will cause the pupils to dilate until they are almost completely black with a thin rim of iris around the pupil. In a normal situation, pupils will contract when exposed to light and if on a stimulant a user's pupils will remain largely dilated.

Benzadrine, sun glasses and a dimly lit plane.....? Maybe his eyes were dark, but not necessarily brown in color. Didn't Florence see his eyes for a brief moment when Cooper looked over his glasses (in an attempt to show the seriousness in his request)? Wouldn't black dilated eyes have a piercing effect?
