My metallurgist says: “What. Of course you can!”
-
From my metallurgist: “Registered alloys” is still a red herring. Don’t focus on that. Readings with elemental concentration of greater than 1% are perfectly fine even in the automated EDS. With the possible exception of Ni in this specific test.
-
From my metallurgist: “All automated EDS is a bit sketchy. Especially so if it can’t be checked against a calibrated standard, like here. I would definitely assume that any Al-5Mg particle is a 5000-series Al alloy whether the database is showing me more elements or not. It might also be helpful to reel back a little bit and think about what is meant by “alloy”: a metallic mixture of two or more elements. It needn’t be homogeneous (eg nickel superalloys), and it can include nonmetallic elements (eg carbon in steel)”
-
Actually only 39% of particles that are Al#1 and Mg#2 are only those 2 elements (187 out of 482), while 61% have a 3rd or 4th element (295 out of 482). Table courtesy of Chris Broer.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Cooperites!

I’ll have it up on my YouTube soon along with most of the other presentations from the conference. I’ll post the links In here.

Red and white canopy would match this one.

Whoever gave him a ride would of had to have held on to the money until June to work with the diatom evidence. You’d think if the guy got spooked he would of disposed of it immediately like in TK’s scenario of the fisherman who gave cooper a ride and got some money, was fishing on tbar the next morning and heard the news on the radio, disposed of it then and there. But sitting on it for that long then going and burying it on tbar doesn’t make sense. Granted dunking it in the Columbia would be good to remove your prints off the money. Let’s say he disposed of it somewhere else the next day in the CR flood plane and it got picked up, well the rubber bands would of been long gone by June.

Possible yes, likely no. We we have Jeffries and Hooper in Vancouver ten days after the skyjacking calling in a tip about a white canopy hung up on the I-5 railroad bridge. So I don’t know how deterred folks were about submitting leads that were outside of the fbi search area. The media and news coverage was still big in the surrounding area and the money find ten years later also presented an opportunity for somebody more south of the FBI DZ to make the connection.
-
I wouldn’t say McCoy played it cool, he was making comments regarding the search that was going on to the dude that gave him a ride home. He said it was that commentary that got him suspicious and made him call in the tip. Cooper got out of the area someway, you’d think if anyone picked up a guy in the area that night wearing a suit, we would of heard a story by now and same with the walking into a woodland gas station.

If there was alcohol taken I’d be much more inclined to believe this scenario with teens/young adults. I talked to the sister of the owner of the Heisson store, who worked there in 71 and she said break ins from the local honorary punks were common and beer/smokes were the norm. I don’t know how you could say what a skyjacker would take, but let me turn the question around on you. You don't think a skyjacker breaking into a store to use the phone would steal some random shit on the way out?
-
Agreed. Highly doubt it was some kind of burglary ring like this. They are seeking easily sellable items for resale. The items taken from Casey’s were cheap necessity items. Stuff for survival.
-
You could use the film to make a fire.

Here was TK’s response on the fb group last night.

After a suggestion from an old FBI guy to Larry Carr that they used silver nitrate as fingerprint detection in the 70's they considered the mystery solved. It would of been nice if they gave the guy who’s initial were on ever bill a call (Max Jarrell) and just confirmed that he sprayed some of the bills with silver nitrate. I count six here in this photo, so was it the bottom and top bill of the three packets he tested, that would make sense. But when Tom tested the black bill. There were no rubber band marks, he looked for them on the bills.
-
Sounds like he got his break ins mixed up, Heisson had many.

And what happened to Tina’s purse? In this pic of her leaving the airplane, no sign of a purse. 6846CDCE-2F8F-46E9-ACC4-757D5B021DC5.webp

Do you think touch DNA can be obtained from the packing card?

Would this fit the bill fly? https://www.ebay.com/itm/225439027685?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&srsltid=ASuE1wSyw-rQDztV3FXg6xOTrReQcX7D8o2iIbQhgnicSKR6BAojqU7bZK8 D49844D9-7EC7-4D61-A08A-912CB574E089.webp 0840A19E-057C-4F5B-85C2-95315FE7E5B2.webp

In Himmies interview with Gryder when talking about the shroud lines cooper cut, he says that a delicious thought to him having been familiar with that nylon parachute cord, unless you were a fisherman that knew how to tie a knot that won’t slip through, he wouldn’t of been able to secure the ransom package with the paracord. Starts at the 59 minute mark.

Well why don’t you come to CooperCon and deliver the information personally. EU has an open invitation out to you.
-
Oh gotcha, I thought you said they had a new search zone that they didn't search.
-
Are you saying the FBI didn't do any new ground searches in 1973?
-
Come on G, get real… if it were as simple as picking up the phone and asking her, we’d have our answer already. I asked her camp for clarification on this and all I got in response was you’ll have to watch the film.
