again, i wish jo well, but not at the expense of truth. show me something compelling. convince me. i see nothing compelling about her case backed up by evidence. i have my doubts, but not a closed mind on this fascinating subject. also, i have things i want to get done before my time is up. i ask no one for sympathy and i welcome an attack on my views and the views of others that are sound and well founded. i can back them up. i do seriously wish her well, but if i was at death's door, would i get less challenge for a case i believe in? one's got nothing to do with the other. i just like more verifiable facts - something with meat i can chew on. if jo wants to find the truth (in my opinion, if we knew the truth about the case 100%, she would reject it.) don't "sit on" evidence. lay it all out at once. more truth the better. maybe someone could chew on it and come up with some good suggestions. but so far, i'm sorry, it seems to be structured like a propaganda campaign. or maybe it is a learned response to putting something out there to grab attention, and not being able to take it back. like the ticket stub.

why would you "sit on" something untill now? all sounds like strategy to me. going to such lengths to protect the identity of someone who commited the crime of knowing an alias (i agree with jack - alias thing makes no sense) or teaching someone to skydive is very noble, but it sounds like an excuse to not produce anything verifiable. how do i know it is the schaffner sketch? i have a tape of the show.

"good thinking" on further review makes it possibly look like i am claiming to be director of uspa. i am making no such claim here.

i will share two undeniable facts with you that you will just have to take my word for. i am not the one that got some other site shut down (how does a site get shut down? lawsuit?) is the site called winnepeg? never been there. your skills at matching a 'rhetorical posting style' are here flawed. the other is that i cannot, no matter how good your goading skills, be goaded into something i don't want to do. oddly enough, j.w. we run in some of the same circles and know some of the same people. rest at ease though, i am the furthest thing from a stalker. i do have great interest in this case, though. i do not have interest in talking with you privately. speaking of 'retoric' (sic), i have not seen any hard evidence from you. by the way, you are patently wrong about the sketch on wiki not being the florence schaffner sketch. sometime you should catch the episode of unsolved mysteries it came from. also, if mayfield is not a very compelling case, why are you trying to show how duane also looked like him?

good thinking

skyjack 71, i'm sorry for your loss. i'm sure evryone wishes you well also with your current health problems. i'm guessing matt did not intend, nor is it my intent to cause you undue stress, but this case is a fascinating bit of american history that is still being debated and discussed. if i defer strongly to a case that to my mind seems to have much more logical and supported evidence from two freelance investigators that appear to have no previous motive for personal attachment to the way the cards fall, it is not meant as a personal slight or attack. you are making a claim in public and should not expect everyone to agree with you. if you beleive in your case, i would expect a challenge would be met by you with happy eagerness at the opportunity to present another facet of your case and it's evidence. when you have the energy, convince me. i'm not sure some of what your talking about, but the sketch on wikipedia was done with a sketch artist from one of only two people (the stewardesses) that ever actually got close to and talked with db (i know he used a fake name that was not a name he used for himself and it was dan, but i'll say db) and knew that he was commiting a crime (a reason to try to remember him). florence did the sketch because she said none of the composites the fbi were circulating looked like db. (otherwise bing crosby may have been a suspect:) also, if composite sketches wer often reliable, we might have to release the unabomber:) the one on wiki is the one done by florence schaffner. it is probably the most reliable to date. also, if you are interested in seeing teddy on video at his current age, go to youtube.com and use the site search for "the real db cooper". if i can further clarify my position for you, i'd be more than happy to. hope all goes well with you.

maybe another good question besides, "is it true?" is, "is there any supporting, verifiable evidence?" the wikepedia thing on teddy in the db cooper article is frickin amazing. thanks for the link.

as for the anonymous troll comment and my education to which it referred, i get your point. from now on i'll only reply to that which has a modicum of substance pertaining to the issue at hand (excepting this one last time, of course).

evidently, Ted lies about quite a bit when this case is mentioned. odd. the two freelance investigators, according to wikipedia db cooper article (section on Ted), say he lied about his alibi. odd.

well, i waited. can't wait longer. i'll be back to check out your dazzling stuff later.

wow! you offered a lot of facts for your supposition. you must be from interpol or something. what do you actually know? let's hear it.

I think her story is all bark and no bite. Those guys on youtube.com (use site search for The Real DB Cooper) seem to have actual evidence pointing to old slick Teddy. Seriously, i've always liked the guy, but i think they're right.
