Neither. Georger just hates me.

I can't comprehend personally why there is so much animosity on this forum. . .is it the proverbial Cooper curse? Or is the Internet just further turning us into degenerate monsters?

This is the Timewarrior speaking. . .I have read the "Into the blast" book. On the whole, I find it much better organized than the one by Geoff Gray. However, I did not like that the recounting of the hijacking from the hijacker's perspective. There is no evidence of such an account. In that regard, I prefer the account by Geoff Gray in the dropzone book. Although very disjointed, it was very detailed and provided a good narrative of what happened that night. "into the blast" does present a pretty convincing case against the airline purser. . .but like all things. . .there is no hard evidence one way or the other. . . I still say there needs to be a D.B. Cooper encylclopedia that tells the story in as unbiased way as possible.

Ms. Weber, This is the Timewarrior speaking, what was Duane's overall sense of humor like? Was it twisted? Did he like practical jokes? I find it strange and somewhat cruel that he left this little game for you to find and trace out. . .potentially putting yourself at risk. Plus you are not treated very fairly here in my opinion. Your therories may not go along with the status quo, but you are a lady and deserve respect. Duane should not have dragged you into this in my honest opinion. If I have overstepped my bounds, then I apologize in advance. Have a good night. The Timewarrior

that's Timewarrior. And yes I would like to read both sluggo's and your account. I will attempt to peruse sluggo's this weekend if I get a spare moment. Your book sounds interesting as well. will it include all the known suspects and the pros and cons of each?

RTFF: Read the F$%^ing Forum.

Georger: You seem openly hostile to new members and only seem to offer one piece of advice, to RTFF. And perhaps that would be good advice were it not for the singular fact that this forum consists of one single topic that consists of over a thousand pages. If you want everyone to RTFF, then perhaps YOU should develop a forum with multiple subject headings that woud allow new users to get caught up to your vastly superior position of knowledge. Perhaps a section on the cooper money, or the weather of pacific northwest? Or the flight placard that was found? At the very least it would help narrow my search down. I hereby officially assign you homework for the upcoming weekend. DESIGN a better forum. Robert99: Thank you for the suggestion. I will check out the website. I find appeal of such cases as Jack the Ripper D.B Cooper, the zodiac killer and others like the Viscilla Axe murders to be quite intriguing in that they could very well have been solved had things been done right at the time. airtwardo: thank you for your commments. BobKnoss: Read about you in skyjack. . .would really like to see your screensaver.

This is Robert99 replying. . . Based on my recent personal observations, water still runs downhill. And this specifically includes the Columbia River downstream of Bonneville Dam. It is good to have another serious researcher on this thread to counter the likes of Knoss, Blevins, etc.. Welcome. But the intesity of the flow might have changed. Plus I recall reading somewhere that the area that the bills were found was dredge by the USACE prior to their discovery. So the question remains how long would the bills take to travel down stream? There are just too many variables to consider. What we need is a single source that consolodates all these theories and facts. Like a cooper encyclopedia. Something like what the Jack the Ripper investigators have. Or what Robert Graysmith tried to do with Zodiac. . . Most of the recent books I have read have been interesting, but they all seem to push one theoriy or another. Recently read skyjack, and while I found the description of the actually highjacking interesting, I found it's organization to be disjointed and the ending to be somewhat deflating. . .Plus it was intriguing and saddening to find out about how Brian Ingram's family was affected by all this. the next book I plan to read is into the blast. Right after i read this book about the Bell Witch. still would prefer a cooper encyclopedia. One that is organized by the event, the suspects, and the facts.

This is the Timewarrior speaking. . . Has there been any consideration for the world's recent climate change? The weather I knew of back in the 80's is not the same as it is now. Could that be affecting the way rivers flow? I would appreciate just straight forward answers to my questions and not insults or snarkiness please.

AB books?

Believe what you will. Misrepresent the past as you will. I see you are going to. You have come to the right black hole for Cooper myth. Werent you here once before asking the same questions, and got nowhere? This is the Timewarrior Speaking. . . I believe in facts sir. . .obtained through observable means and through cause and effect relationships. And no, I was not here before. That post was the first post I ever made to this forum. This is my third post. I find it sad that two of my 3 posts have to deal directly with your somewhat hostile personality.

Hello, this is the Timewarrior speaking. . . RobertMBlevins, thank you for the response. It is just as I surmised, in all likelihood a proper massive prolonged search for these bills has not been conducted. One would have hoped that the Treasury would have checked every $20 bill prior to destruction, however, with the limitations on government resources and the short attention span of the American public, I fear this too was not done. Our only hope would be to find all the remaining bills out there still in circulation,test them and eliminate them. All you would need is one positive hit to prove Cooper survived. You prove Cooper survived, you change the entire course of the investigation. However it still does not explain the Ingram money. . .unless he managed to loose a bundle during the jump. . .why would any sane individual throw away a portion of the ransom? Plus it was in such an obscure location, where there was no guarantee they would ever be found that it almost rules out a taunt to authrorities. Zodiac, BTK, and other criminals leave their taunts out in the open, in obvious places where the media and police can find them. To me, the ingram money is a big clue that Cooper may not have survived, but since the ball was dropped on the tracking. . .we may never know for sure. skyjack71, I am not a student writing a thesis or a webhead making a webpage. I have followed the case since the 80s and was not looking for a quick answer. I was looking for the piece to a glaring hole in the case that has been gnawing at me for years. None of the books or newspaper articles I have read or documentaries I have watched fully clarified the search done for these $20 bills. The explanation seemed lacking so I came here to clarify what others knew about the search. I do no appreciate being insulted or accused of trying to start a new myth or distort the facts of the case. However, if you so insist, then perhaps Cooper was a magical irish fairy who flew away on his gossamer fairy wings after jumping and now lives in the Magical kingdom of Landover in house built out of the ransom money and now spends his days conversing with the gnomes and trolls about how he outsmarted the silly humans and stole all their gold. . .I think I might write a book about that theory. . .just for you. . . BruceSmith, thank you for your response. I shall try to go through your links when I have more time. As to my chosen title, some would say it was title of respect bestowed upon my by the coalition of balloon doggies due to my ability to manipulate time and instill paradoxes into the space time continuum. Still others say, it is the ancient Mayan name of a long forgotten god that brings forth death and destruction. Or maybe I just thought it was cool. . .like the Cooper case. .. it will probably be an eternal mystery. Georger. . .there is much anger in you. . .be careful that it does not blind you in your endeavors. . . what I believe Mr. RobertMBlevins was referring to is that the existence and use of PERSONAL computers in the day to day activities of modern business such as it is now, was not in existence at the time of the highjacking. This is believeable, in the past decade alone, how much more dependent has society become on these infernal machines. . .one downed network at work. . .equates to an entire day of work lost due to one not being able to access their systems.

Hello, this is the Timewarrior speaking. . . I am a follower of the Cooper case and have a question that may have been answered previously, however I have not found the answer in all the material I have watched and read. . . My question is this: The FBI assumes Cooper did not survive the jump because the only bills that have been found were the ones by Brian Ingram, but how do we really know that the bills are not already in circulation? Is every bank in America actively looking for these bills? Has there been any type of massive recall for the $20 bills with the same dates as the ransom and have all the serial numbers been checked that way? If cooper survivied the jump, could he have laundered the money in a way that would have put them in circulation without the banks knowing it? I guess my point is, how do we know this money isn't in the system? What are the odds that banks are actively looking for these biils?
