The prayer booklet has no provable link to Norjack.
I have NEVER said it was a prayer book. It is a different kind of book altogether, but it has religious undertones...but, used only in making little anecdotes to make the rest of the book interesting. It is a very unique booklet and Tina (pronounce Teena) is very endearing as she makes her little comments along the way to show there is more to life than the context of the book.
Geeze, it is hard to explain without telling exactly what it was.
I need to find the family members who contacted someone at the river enquiring about books left on the plane that were NOT returned to their family member.

Not to mention Motivation. Why would Duane do this crime?
Oh, he had motivation - a bad diagnosis and broken promises made that were not kept and his one goal to do - The Big One.
QuoteDid Duane have a subscription to Playboy and
National Geographic?
Yes Georger - he was a dirty old man who liked Playboy. No subscription because I didn't allow it, but I have a picture of him on his 70th birthday - guess what he was reading, Playboy. It was a gift from a friend.
QuoteAll insurance salesmen (Duane) are Republican. They dont need to hijack planes - they can steal at the office from everyone who walks through the door!
You know nothing about Duane's livelyhood. We never had access to any clients funds. No monies where exchange between agent and customer. No monies where due until they were placed in the house payment thru the mortgage lender after approval.
P.S. If Duane was an ex-con how and why did he get to vote and vote he did? It was not until the last 2 Presidential elections that questionable voters where brought to the attention of the system.

QuoteI noticed the same thing anecdotally when I worked in a Public Defenders office back in the 70s. As one guy put it reflecting on a past record of repeated burglaries and arrests that seemed to stop when he hit his late 40s: "I don't do that shit no more, I just don't feel like it no more."
Duane was in his late 40's and with a disease he thought would end his life within the next 5 to 7 yrs. He had absolutely NOTHING to loose other than his life. Why not give the BIG ONE a try? If he got caught the government would be providing him with housing and medical treatement
Surviving - only enforced his will to live and not go back to prison, but made a better person of himself. It was a slow process until he met me 6 yrs later - I guess I became his Mom, as that is what he always called me.
He became successful in the insurance industry and then went out on disablility in 1988, but he had renewals and I also did and I stayed in the insurance business until a month before his death. During those yrs between 1990 and 1994 he tried to help out with the income by opening up a little shop - it was antiques and good junk. He had always like woodwork and he would buy old pieces and refinish them. He knew his glass wares well and what he didn't know he got books and taught himself.
Duane Weber did NOT fit the typical profile you guys are referring to.

QuoteWhat you saw and heard from Duane is consistent with him wanting to be remembered as a big shot mastermind criminal, literally the top dog in his profession, by lying to you about being Cooper. Without unequivocal extrinsic tangible evidence connecting Duane with Norjack, you cannot rule that out Jo.
If that was what he wanted - why did he work so hard to keep his past away from me? I found the other items, but didn't know what they meant. Why did he NOT want me to go into that TAX box where the plane ticket was in 1994? WHY did he hide it and then later hide it where I couldn't find it?
He was already in the last stretch in 1994 when I saw the ticket - why not tell me then? Well, I know why - because he had not accepted the fact that he was going to die.
He had absolutely no assurance I would understand what he was telling me - and he left something in that van, but the Dumb Blonde in me just didn't get it and the man who found the evidence didn't know what it was evidence in a major crime.
A man doing what Duane did by concealing his past for 17 yrs and is not consistent with your statement below:
"wanting to be remembered as a big shot mastermind criminal, literally the top dog in his profession, by lying to you about being Cooper".
Had he wanted to do this he would have requested a witness and not just me...the broad with the dumb blonde syndrome. He had absolutely NO clue I could ever put it together unless he left something in that van...and left souveniers (which I didn't understand until it was too late).
Remember he told me there was something in the van and I was having no part of the things he was saying.
Had I understood what he was talking about I would have taken that van apart, but I only cleaned it out and sold it. I missed the wallet - what else did I overlook?
Also remember that he kept telling me 2 days before he died that he needed for me to take him for a ride, but the weather was so bad I couldn't get him to the car even after we got him bundled up. It was pouring rain and extremely windy...so as far as we got was just outside a door. An army man was out there and Duane spoke to him about his airborne patches - he knew exactly what they were.

After all this time, turns out we know nothing about Duane. Guess that sums it up. What has this all been for?

Duane's surprisingly elegant performance in the Ultra Lounge is followed by a woman covering Peggy Lee. The lights dim, the smokey haze coalesces into a nicotine cloud strata extending across the room as she sadly sings: "Is that all there is?"
Yes Georger. What has this all been for indeed?

You guys forget your profile is based on todays society and NOT how it was back then. How many of you where born around 1924 - and have spent several yrs in different prisons, but came from a reputable family. Duane was not stupid and he was unlike anyone I have ever known in my life - he had multi personalities. His formal education was lacking, but he had life experiences only a few men have been exposed to.
At this last convention in St. Thomas - which was his last award, but one of many - how many of those individuals would have believed his background?
If anyone of them had been told he was an ex-con of 17yrs in multiple prisons....NOT one of them would have believed it...NOT ONE. When his best friend was told how many yrs Duane had spent in prison and the many friends he made with the shop he ran for 4 yrs - they were shocked.
Even I had a hard time imaging what his life must have been like - but, I had always knew he had secrets - big secrets. I knew he was always watching his back and he was just too knowlegable about too many things...he knew his way around to many places too well. I accepted him for who and what he was at the time - I seldom questioned his past and unless it was information he volunteered on his own - it was his to keep.
His eyes always seemed to be watching every corner of a room full of people and nothing got past him...it was something that always made me wonder what I had gotten myself into....what was this man afraid of? Now I know and if you guys don't know by now you never will.
P.S.
I will be very busy for the next few wks preparing to go to WA and hope I am up to the task before me. On my last wk in WA...then and only then will you know I am there.
I will rely on some old maps so I can filter out new development. If I get lost - I have a good sense of direction (just timid behind the wheel of the car since a major car accident in 2000 right after I went public).
Another individual who was going public also met with the same fate I did except he was killed, but none of you are aware of this individual. Yea, you guys just learned something new! Funny how things get buried in the Cooper saga.

juvenile deplinquent profile. What Jo has always described as Duane 'repenting' and changing his ways was simply age taking over with the normal
change in values (and crime types a person in that
catagory is willing to participate in by mid age).
A lot of factors go into the change, learning being one. That is how my criminology courses stated it -
boy that was a long time ago!
I had a Harvard Law professor for these courses - he
nailed me one fine day when I walked in in short the first warm day that spring ... "are you Mr. ____ serious about this course of not!?" He really made an example out of me. I hated that bastard.
