QuoteQuoteOkay…
You are all fired. Turn in your badge and weapon.
Snowman has been posting (off and on) on this forum for about three months. You guys haven’t figured out (yet) what his screen-name is.
It isn’t Snowman, or snowman. Not snow-man, or Snow-Man.
His screen name is “snowmman”!
You’re gonna have to get a lot sharper if you’re gonna solve this case.

By the way, he is a first-cousin to waterboardmman.

QuoteQuoteEd Daly loved to drink and loved to shoot his gun (just shoot it, not shoot it at someone), usually at the same time which reportedly got him in trouble with the law a couple of times. I met his personal pilot and got a tour of Ed's plane at Oakland CA back in the 80s. You'd think with tons of money and a huge maintenance base at Oakland, Ed would have the sleekest corp jet of the day at his disposal. Nope. His personal plane was an absolutely immaculate Convair 340 with two R 2800 radial piston engines and a well stocked bar. It had all the latest avionics including a Collins HF SSB radio and had recently flown to Europe... slowly. That was one sweet propliner.
What has any of this to do with DB Cooper?
A fair question. Not much actually, just a very tangential relevance to guys who have stood on deployed airstairs of moving 727s. It seemed more on point when I was on my fourth cup of coffee... OD of caffeine can make you see clear patterns in utter chaos. Gotta switch to decaf.
That being said, once in a while a random cosmic ray produces a gene mutation that is beneficial. The same kind of thing happens in this forum from time to time. Something out of left field will trigger a few neurons in Sluggo, Snowmman or another contributor and we are on to something relevant and new.
If I don't like a post, I just skip it rather than criticizing it. Things have been amazingly cordial here lately, which makes Quade's job easier. Still, it's always open season on off topic ducks (quack quack) and you are free to take a shot.
This isn't rigourous science, law enforcement or academic inquiry. It's fun, entertaining and might even solve the case. The average IQ here is pretty high and you never know what the collective forum brain might figure out.
PAX GORT.

QuoteQuoteJo, have you tried looking at Goggle Earth satellite images. I was just playing around on there following some of you directions and you can see quite a bit.
I have a real hard time with maps on the computer. What I need is an up to date ground map the same size and area as this old Topography map - to lay one over the other and then we get roads and houses and all of those things that would be like my making a trip there and then I might find the exact roads we turned on and off of. I would be able to pin-point the things and the places he took me. It would be better if the the google map was also dated 1979.
The map I am working with is 1:100 000- scale metric of Vancouver, Wa It is a geological survey map.
Wow, to be able to overlay two maps like that - would be a dream come true.
Jo Goggle Earth is not a map but satellite image. You can choose to have it show you roads. I have looked around a bunch where you have talked about and the detail of the satellite image is very good. You can easily find railroad tracks and power lines.

In reference to McCoy, everyone associated with him, family, babysitter and friend from school, put McCoy in Provo for Thanksgiving dinner. If more than you know your secret, it's going to get out.
People who don't have a vested relationship with McCoy would not lie for him, so their statements seem valid. He also does not match the physical description of Cooper. Because of the money find we know Cooper lost all of it in the jump. So going to Vegas to launder the stolen cash is out. There's more but it's boring so I won't waste your time.

Alright Ckret I've got to call you out on that one. You know as well as anyone else that until ALL the money is found we will never KNOW what happened to all of it

QuoteQuoteQuoteEvery time I find an H. quote vehemently stating who Cooper wasn't, I say to myself..."Okay that's who Cooper was"
(edit)
NOW WHY THE HECK DID H. SAY 48 HERE?
Because, according to Ralph (as he has said elsewhere), 48 was the median age estimated by eyewitnesses who claimed to have seen Cooper. The estimates ranged from early 40s to mid-50s, but 48 was the median.
Thanks. Are you theorizing, or did you talk to Ralph?
I saw a TV interview in which he said it. I think it is - or at least used to be - up on youtube.

Thanks for the response Ckret. I figured that McCoy was such a strong suspect that it would take more than a weak alibi to clear him.
Darn, McCoy was the perfect Cooper if you ignore the physical description mismatch.
Alibis can be strong (e.g. many independent witnesses and physical evidence corroborating) or weak (e.g. a single corroborating witness who has a relationship with the accused).
Steven Soliah, who the FBI is absolutely certain was a participant in the fatal SLA bank robbery in Carmichael CA, had a weak alibi (only his girlfriend testified in support of his alibi) but was aqutitted by a jury.
McCoy's alibi appears much stronger than Soliah's. Even if you doubted McCoy's innocence, not much point prosecuting someone you can't convict.
I am sure your statement that the Tena bar money find proves Cooper lost all the money in the jump will stir things up.

REPLY: Tina knew "giddy" first hand. She knew what
it implied, in the context of the money.
I understand that. I'm not contradicting her account by saying that the guy probably didn't show a certain amount of joyous emotion upon seeing the money. What I'm saying is that I think it's potentially easy and tempting for someone who wasn't there and who is looking for any sign of a possible clue to read too much into her description.

Crket, because roughly 3% of the money was found we know for certain that Cooper lost the other 97%?

There are some statisticians who would argue that Ckret is absolutely correct. The same ones who work for plaintiff's attorneys seeking to convince juries that smoke alarms cause cancer, AgHg dental fillings cause Lupus and MS, and that overheated Teflon cookware causes every disease known to man.
