DB Cooper

Vault 74 sucked. Just nothing but 302’s of yokels writing or calling in after watching reruns of Unsolved Mysteries.

Speaking of which, is Unsolved Mysteries the one where Cooper is from Alabama and Himmelsbach basically has Cooper jumping into the middle of the Yukon and crawling to a watering hole and dying? lol

A map of the radar track from Reno Tower was supplied to the FBI..

NORJAK crossed into Nevada from California 25 miles North and 14 miles West of Reno. That is in line with Red Bluff.

In other words, the airliner flew a straight line from the Red Bluff VORTAC in California to the Reno airport.  That is completely logical.

Or maybe D. B. Cooper was one of theirs?

There might have been rules about when evidence could be submitted for Lab work. (eg case must involve a homicide).  And rules about who can submit something to the Lab - (Agent must instruct Lab  what is wanted, eg. finger prints, .........  for example somehow a few of the Ingram bills got finger printed by request in spite of a very low probability of success. The Lab did what it was asked to do. If nobody asks, there is no lab work. (Im not sure what the rules are today....) Labs are always overwhelmed with work ............

Nobody said a straight line.. we don't have the actual path

but if Reno supplied their radar data, what about Seattle or Portland..
 

Maybe only 1% of the FBI files have been released...

This supports my research theory. They seem to be "Overwhelmed with work" or someone made a mistake and threw the Butts away. And the Hair.Just finished the most recent book on D.B. Cooper. I liked it.

The butts were examined by the lab and discarded within 2 weeks of the hijacking. Not a mistake.

Then a complete coverup!!!! The most illogical thing I've ever heard. So if Carr told you they might still be in their possession would you believe him?

Not a coverup, incompetence and ignorance.

Of course the FBI is still looking for them.... 50+ years after they destroyed them..

Carr is not interested in minutiae...

Have you read them all ... Which ones are junk?

I intentionally did not read any until I had thoroughly researched the case.

Without a high case knowledge level you can't read them critically.. I have since read some and ignored most based on obvious critical flaws.

Primary Cooper research doesn't come from somebody else's opinion in a book.

The better ones lay out the facts... the junk has critical facts wrong and tries to sell a suspect.

How did you do research without any books? How do you know which ones are junk if you didn't read them?

I did primary research..  books are secondary..   In most cases, the authors have discussed their books publicly or the synopsis is published.. most books can be dismissed easily if you know the case well.

Some books give you primary research, stick to those..

Though all books contain errors.. some more-so than others.

AT DBC forum Jack notably says:   
 
Let's address the "worried about fingerprints " issue:

He wasn't worried about the bourbon drink glass
He wasn't worried about the cigarette butts
He wasn't worried about the tie
He wasn't worried about the time in the bathroom
He wasn't worried about his seat area
He wasn't worried about the parachute pack he opened to cut the cords
He wasn't worried about the railings on the aft door he probably touched on the way out.
He wasn't worried about the plane ticket
He wasn't worried about the $20 bill he gave the counter for the ticket
He wasn't worried about the $20 bill he gave for the drink

But he was worried about a single empty matchbook that the flight attendant had manhandled for who knows how long lighting him cigarettes?

Cooper's actions dictate that he wasn't concerned about fingerprints rather that he has a compulsive personality towards inanimate objects that he feels personally connected to.
And this personality trait would be identifiable by those who spend any amount of time around him.

Jmo.
 
*** G:   signs of Cooper under stress ?  And from this, the agents got no viable prints ?
