If the FBI wasn't interested in Duane as a suspect, why would they take his DNA? Let's just assume for argument that they did. DNA usually takes no longer than 6 weeks to process. That was 5 years ago. Where's the match and closure? Brenda

No M'am I don't think so. Please check the third paragraph after Duane's picture that starts with... "But the..." http://www.crimelibrary.com/criminal_mind/scams/DB_Cooper/10.html Stating that you have "done everything but put Duane in a parachute" is like making a case for wine and stating that you have all the ingredients except grapes. I have no problem with you researching Duane's past, but it's time to put Duane as Cooper to bed. Brenda

Why on earth would they not check out a guy like that? It doesn't make any sense to me. And why would the FA have to do a re-sketch years later on Unsolved Mysteries? Brenda

Nothing to be sorry about, I'd have to agree. My Hubby just informed me today that there is another Mayfield segment up on youtube. It sure seems like the two Oregonians have done their homework. The lead investigator Himmelsbak sure looks embarrassed about having passed Mayfield over. I knew if someone really looked into this case and turned over every leaf that one day it would be solved.

This is a public forum where people express their opinion and debate topics, and everyone should be free to do so. I'd like to remind you(everyone) to take a look at the TITLE of this thread. Skyjack may have started it, but it's not about her, or Duane, it's about DB, and everyone should be free to contribute. If anyone is going to proffer what they believe is evidence or "proof" it is well within the realm of public discussion to challenge it. With that said, I'd like to add two pennies of my own. There is not one iota of evidence that Duane has ever been skydiving, let alone is a skydiving expert. He would need necessarily have been some degree of the latter to have a chance of planning and pulling off a crime like this. To my knowledge Duane has never even attempted armed robbery. His MO was forgery and petty thievery. Where is it that someone with his background wakes up one day and says, I'm going to hijack and airplane and jump out in the middle of the night, and not over my own state-difficult enough to believe- but in the Pacific Northwest, an area he is not the least bit familiar with? Brenda

Skyjack71, If you are seeking the "truth" why in your profile do you call yourself the "Widow of DB Cooper"? You have told me in PM's to read this site and see all the "evidence" for myself. I have done just that and can't find anything but "stories" and nonsense. Case in point is post #145 where you try to show that an old photo of someone holding cheap sunglasses and an old 8-track case under a camping table at a garage sale is "proof" that Duane is Cooper. I'm not even going to credit that with a response, other than to say....."last gasp". Brenda

I've read the entire thread, top to bottom. Not saying I've memorized it, but I'd have to say there is a lot more "story" than there is meat or potatoes. Brenda

I think it's pretty clear that Duane Weber was a petty thief and forgerer, and would never have attempted a crime such as air piracy. I googled "db cooper" and I'm astounded at the evidence WRT one TED Mayfield. For anyone interested pls check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Db_cooper Registered: Jul 30, 2007 Posts: 16

Hey Sky, So what you're telling me is that the FBI has inmates working their finger print database? And that Duane had his fingerprints changed by an inmate friend who got a job that an inmate or ex. con could get, like at the FBI? Hmmmm....wow. I didn't know the FBI hired people like that. There was a recent story on the news about several people going for jobs at the FBI and they couldn't be hired because they might have smoked pot many years ago. Even though they've been clean for years the FBI wouldn't hire, or is dragging their feet. I bet if those applicants could do it over, they'd trade a few tokes in the past with a criminal record, and they'd have badges. Wow...I didn't know the FBI was like that. Thanks for the info. Brenda P.S. Makes me wonder if there's any relation between the existence of Robert Knoss and smoking pot ???

Thanks for the info Skyjack. I am familiar with the Cooper case and I did catch one of your shows on cable, my husband says there were two, but nevertheless I only remember one. I'm just curious about facts rather than stories. I guess everyone's got stories, but I'm one of those "get to the bottom of it" kinda gals. I've only made 6 jumps, and 5 of those were with my husband. I'm still somewhat scared though!!! But Sky I've finally cover the majority of these pages and it seems that concerning Weber there is really very little that is verifiable? Does that make sense to you? Can you verify any of the stories so that maybe someone could consider them evidence? I'm not trashing your husband, or your plight, I'm just curious and would like to know if there is anything this gal or anyone can actually chew on. Thanks again Skyjack71.! B.

Skyjack71, Can you list the evidence you have that Duane was infact Db Cooper? Can you list any evidence that Duane was even West of the Missippi in 71? Thanks, BrendaQuote
