Precisely. Flyjack could have been the Michael Jordan of some sport or competition if he focused his pathological competitiveness on something else besides Cooper.

I've never called anyone a POI. They're suspects as far as I'm concerned. And there's no "real evidence" for ANYONE in this case. If there were, they'd probably be Cooper.

Yes, and what was the point of it? You were trying to find something else about Hall. You were going to claim that his hair was too thin to be Cooper. But then I PROVED that his hair was thin by choice in that photo. Now you're crying about it.

Nope. You proved nothing of the sort. You provided more webpages of just people in the modern era referencing it. I wanted contemporary sources.

I don't have a responsibility to do anything regarding this goofy notion of yours.

Yep. Not enough to eliminate him. The fact that this is all you have on Hall shows his strength as a suspect. Dave is bitching about people not attacking Skip. Well...what is there really to attack him on? I think his nose is somewhat too large for my liking and he doesn't look homely. Sure, when he raises his eyebrows he has forehead wrinkles. They are much less apparent when he's not. None of that is really enough to eliminate him IMO when he has so many positives working in his favor.

BAHAHAHAHAH how?? A crap photo? You were acting like Skip Hall was virtually bald. He clearly wasn't. There are photos of him from the late 70's with a legitimate Afro.

You haven't provided ANY evidence that a lowlife aircraft hijacker in 1971 would have known about the verbiage "Minnesota Nice". None.

again, if you say that something wouldn't have been missed by witnesses, then you need to eliminate Hahneman, who looks less like Cooper than any suspect ever except for Walter Reca.

1. Notice it's only occurring when he's raising his eyebrows. 2. He had plenty of hair, as photos of him as an older man show. And...oh the humanity! Just LOOK at the forehead wrinkles in this photo!

what facts eliminate Hall? Again, you are being outrageously hypocritical to eliminate ANY suspect based off of a minor physical detail when you don't apply a similar level of scrutiny to your own suspect.

That's fair about the "I don't bite." But he was clearly just saying the terrain is fine, and yes, despite what Flyjack says, it IS "nice country".

no shit. You'd better not.

Not a strawman. You don't get to have it both ways. You don't get to nitpick minute details of other people's suspects and claim that they should be eliminated because the witnesses WOULD have noticed something, while at the same time totally expecting these same eagle-eyed witnesses to ignore the litany of things wrong with your own suspect.

This is perhaps the single goofiest, as well as totally pointless, theory ever put forth by an investigator with credibility. He was making small talk. Nervous. Smoking a cigarette. Go look up any list of US states by beauty. I'm sure Minnesota is listed in the top half of all of them. There is lots of pretty scenery in Minnesota. He was just making small talk and being polite. Implying that Cooper MAY have been engaging in some sort of pun whilst in the middle of a hijacking where his life and freedom were at stake is goofy.
