DB Cooper

Recommended Posts

I told FBI Agent White that I knew why he was asking about Sheridan, looks just like the sketch, had olive skin color, and was very calm cool and collected.



somebody please post a photo of the guy?

They all are dead ringers - they cant all be
Cooper - can they? Now we are asked to look
at a guy we cant even see?

Hey 377.

I am here...Just REAL busy the last few weeks. Two midterms (Foresnic Science and Abnormal Psychology) and two papers to write and the three days at the gym. UGH! I also did my part to stimulate the economy (new car)

Georger....I was watching at the old Unsolved Mystery with Schaffner and her sketch of Cooper. I copied her sketch and put a comparison picture of my father.

I have sent a composite photo to Boeing 377 that convinces me that DB and Petey are one and the same. The composite is from the Skydiving Mag. with half of the DB sketch over half off the photo. Possibly 377 will find a way to publish it to the DropZone

JW who are you realy . My research indicates something different. Jerry



You mean it took you all of this time to figure out who he really is? Now if you want to have some fun with him - I will come back in a few moments and make an attachment to this post.

By the way "really" is spelled with two l's not one "l".[;)

Jerry, I would appreciate it if you would BACK-OFF. I am NOT well at all right now and why I have not been posting much. I have a lot on my plate right now - and the last thing I need is you hounding me for a polygraph. As I have said if the FBI wants one I will do it, but only if the FBI requests it. END of SUBJECT.

Have you checked out my Avatar?
One half Composite and one half Duane Weber. Now check out the OLD ROSE composite and the comparisons!

...yes. With a result that looks rather Frankensteinish (you know - bits cobbled together from different people). Was it meant to actually try prove something??

Dear Orange.

That Avatar was a composite cut in half and a picture of Duane at a slight tilt (note he did NOT allow straight on photos - he was always posed with a slight turn). This made the nose look narrower, but in my amaturish way it was the best I could do.

I cut the composite in half and tape the 2 things together. Then I scanned that and that is what I posted as my Avatar.

I did NOT do this on a comupter and I only made ONE mark - that was a very very slight connection of the hair line due to the angle of the picture of Duane being made by someone shorter than himself...it was minute.

I do not know how to use a computer to manipulate photos like others can. Note the post with the attachement - I can't even figure out how to do the Office slide so that it will show well on the computer the way FarFlungs posters do. It came out a small attachment and you can't see the details or the wording.

Regarding your PM - I only quoted Jerry Thomas.

I wish you guys knew what was really going on right now outside of this forum. I would like to know if anyone knows what Sluggo meant on his site when he mentioned the ST. Pete papers - regarding Duane's arrest and conviction. I read nothing about a conviction in the 2 article I have.

Since I am unable to down-load things from Sluggo's site - I can't see what is there - perhaps someone on this forum can help me out. I found NO conviction and no record of what happened to Duane after the arrest in St. Pete - the next thing I have is his being placed in Canon City, CO in El Paso County in 1960.

One would have thought he would have been sent back to San Franciso for violation of parole.

Results of meeting with Comcast: They want to film both in Ariel and at Paradise Point State Park near Battleground. They told me something about possibly filming a repeat of the actual jump out the back of a 727



Doubt it with today's fuel prices. Amjet has done 727 jumps with their freighters if Comcast wants to explore this. No need to pay a stuntman kilobux. I and hundreds of other jumpers with jet jump experience would gladly do it free. Computer graphics is the cheapest way to do it. Greener too. Takes a LOT of fuel.

Results of meeting with Comcast: They want to film both in Ariel and at Paradise Point State Park near Battleground. They told me something about possibly filming a repeat of the actual jump out the back of a 727. (It's a rather high-powered show I guess, and hosted by a woman.) I don't have all the details on this yet. I was supposed to meet him in Seattle, but I bailed (excuse the pun) on that due to work commitments and we spoke on the phone for a couple of hours instead. You have to remember that the Cooper case is NOT my normal job. I have a publishing company and a cleaning biz to run and I am certainly busy. If KC was the guy, the truth will come out eventually. If he wasn't, then that will probably come out eventually, too. Truth is, I don't care that much. Once a book is done, I have a tendency to move on to the next one. Next week we're releasing Escape Velocity: The Anthology, which includes 48 sci-fi stories by 44 authors from around the planet, and that excites me a lot more than the Cooper book, trust me on this.

Jo: Producer says he got a couple of messages from you. I told him you think your husband was the hijacker and left off on my opinions on that.

No big deal, but they're running the Cooper episode of Decoded again on Wednesday at 8PM, 9 Central.

Too bad they couldn't get Helen Jones to appear. She's still afraid of Bernie Geestman, AKA Pinnochio. She puts KC and Bernie together and missing for days over the weekend of the hijacking. Her daughter confirmed this, too. At least I got her interview into the Revised Edition of the book.



You are quite the promoter, as is Jo and JWT.

trust me on this.

Science has always played an inferior role
throughout history ... until science goes on
strike and stays silent.

trust me on this. Remember Max Gunther and Myers and Dvorak ... ?

(who does)

You will be different or course. You may wind up more famous than Himmeslbach!

Jo makes a lot of calls ... and some she shouldnt!

Promoter? I just do info here as a courtesy. 95% of sales come from bookstores ordering through Ingram outlets with their iPage software. We just sent out the Spring Catalog to more than 400 of them. You can download it at the website, but unless you are a bookstore or wholesaler it is useless to you. Promoting on websites is a waste of time.

Welcome to the Reality Hotel of publishing.

Since you can PM me and I can't PM you - remember? Will you please PM me as to who I am talking to that I should NOT be talking to. Please be NICE - you remember how you addressed the PM. Naughty naughty.

I did NOT call the producer, but did make 2 emails to see if he was really interested in talking to me and to let him know that I DID not WANT to appear - that I would only provide pictures and a narrative about the pictures.

I do NOT want to participate in a debate or to appear in person. I like people NOT knowing who I am.

Looking for your PM or email about who you might be referring to. You know I speak with Himmelsback and have spoke with Grey and Cook over the last few yrs....outside of those who else?

It was NEVER about the money. It's about the TRUTH. Are we right? I don't know for sure yet. I suspect we're on to something, but we still have no smoking gun.



I don't know why Blevins gets so much flak. He isn't dogmatic. Says KC might be DBC, but no absolute proof. He obviously didn't make money on the project, although it wouldn't bother me if he did. I don't agree that KC was DBC but see no reason to attack RB personally. Why is he the target of so much venom? Lighten up people.

I dont see that anything can change. It is what
it is.

I think your 25 reasons are not reasons at all
but a collection of statements of bias on your part
which only confirms in your mind, what you were
going to conclude, anyway. You say that equals
research and bonafide logic.

Well, we just have different standards.

I think you have taken a bunch of dysfunctional
people and concluded their dysfunctionality adds
up to one of the members being DB Cooper -
without examining any other more likely outcomes,
even in the face of other evidence you evidently
give no credence to.

Somewhere in this world is a story about Mr. Cooper
and other people. I just dont happen to believe this
is it or even the right set of variables.

Maybe Katy Watson was Angel Udell!

Yeah. Take KC and his buddy for example. Occam asks, what were they most likely doing over Thanksgiving 1971?

a. having a Brokeback Mountain vacation in the Airstream.

b. rendezvousing, as planned, after a successful skyjack jump.

c. both of the above.

Blevins said:
You (Georger) have not met these folks, so it is not your place to judge whether they are dysfunctional or not.



You know, I never met Kahdafi or Hitler, but I can judge them (accurately, I believe).

You are a publisher, you run a business (or two), you are a writer (of a sort), YOU ARE NOT A RESEARCHER!

Stick with what you do well.

georger is a scientist, georger knows research, maybe you should listen to georger (and others) who are trying to help (you).

377, Occam doesn't ask anything. Occam is a "principle" (perhaps "suggestion" would be a better word) not a law of nature.

Occam simply suggests that when you have two competing theories that provide the same answer you may as well use the simpler one, other things being equal. This does not mean that the more complex theory is wrong or even that the simpler one is correct.

Your three possible answers listed above can be expanded to include any number of possibilities. But the last possibility should be, "z. None of the above.".

Only the two people involved know where they were and what they were doing that weekend. They may not have even been together.

Be it comic books on Shemya, ‘Left Handed’ tie clasps or Jet A fuel freezing in ‘Vapor Lock’ the air continues to collect an acrid cloud of bias, avoidance and ignore it and it will go awayness. Presumably for the simple reason that it works. Sort of.

Once a tale fails the simplest of smell tests it is time to move on statistically. Allowing for one modification after another will end in some sort of preposterous conclusion akin to those that facilitated the distribution of Thalidomide. Yes, I realize that is medical research and not historical but the process is the same if not the outcome from following deeply flawed structures. Those being the lack of cross checks and validation, because they are viewed as a hindrance to obtaining a foregone conclusion.

Now is the time to introduce ‘Cooper-ramA’ as yet another layer of filtration to the already fine mesh system that has produced: visual verification of a person jumping from the aft stairs, flare tossing, Cooper chatting with the pilot, Boeing 737 development in 1961, below the horizon LOS comms interception, beach debris pedigrees, care and use of Airstream products, landing gear as spoilers, target spotting via nothing, airmanship through incompetence, lack of savings from those working on Shemya for five years, an accomplice accepting a 0/100 percent split of a ransom and jump qualified welders.

Whew, sure was lucky that this was caught before things got weird or perhaps even some credibility was slightly marred or even dented.

Thanks Farflung, another poster for my refrigerator.

I had forgotten the ex convict, former smoke jumper, Ranger trained, parachuting pipeline welders. Thanks for refreshing my memory. I guess they must have jumped with oxy acetylene gear as an arc welder wouldnt be of much use off the grid. These daring young men deserve to be remembered and thanks to you, they will be.

Bob, a Boeing engineer who rented a room to Sheridan "Pete" Peterson in the early 60s, did some cutting and pasting to produce this split face picture of Sheridan Peterson and the FBI Cooper sketch. see below.

Bob reports that Pete quizzed him about the 727 stair operation during his stay, but Bob was working on the 737 stairs and couldnt provide the 727 info sought by Pete. Pete, a former Marine and USFS smoke jumper, later went to work for Boeing in tech documentation and also founded the Boeing Skydiving Club. The picture of Pete appears to have been taken in China where he made a record breaking (oldest jumper) parachute jump in his 70s.

Whether he was Cooper or not, Pete is a well qualified jumper, is innovative and has courage. He made night jumps, was a wingsuit pioneer, and if he had the bucks would still be jumping today when well into his 80s.

Pete ignores my attempts to establish contact but I am sure he is reading this. Hi Pete, liked your very recent letter to the editor of the Santa Rosa newspaper regarding the war in Libya. Let's go jumping. The weather is getting really nice out here in Northern California.
