I sat down to do this but a post to the DZ just did not seem like the right medium to dump a few years and pages of thought. I'll just trickle these out as we go.
Anyway, I did not come empty handed and reworked my energy into a Folk Ballad of sorts.

Title: The Citizen Sleuth - Ver - Sub R
What type of Criminal is D.B. Cooper you ask?
He’s not the hardened type
He’s not quite that gentleman thief
He’s not any bit Himme’s Dirty Rotten Scoundrel
He’s not Ckret’s stickup man –
He’s neither a loser, an addict, a down and out no-good-bum
The take me to Cuba types – that’s all there was then
The take me to Cuba type – could that be him
What I know of this man - he held a grudge
He’s short on forgiveness - not good at letting go
He’s ruminating on something - on what – I want to know
The take me to Cuba types - were they younger men
The take me to Cuba type - they were political then
What I know of this man
He’s no longer a man - of youthful delusion
He’s no longer a man - of political display
He’s aware there are limits -on what - could be had that day
The take me to Cuba types – were they considerate men
The take me to Cuba type - they were swarthy like him
What I know of this man
He’s neither nasty nor mean
He’s respectful of women and never obscene
He’s a man of some principals - I think we can glean
The take me to Cuba type – were they thoughtful men
He’s worried for the crew - should they tire that day
He’s sympathetic to the stews – ashamed of easy pay
He’s offered some to Tina
He’s offered some to Flo
He’s offered some to Alice - well her - we don’t really know
The take me to Cuba type – were they humored like him
He’s laughed at Tina’s quip - of rum and cigars
He’s not thinking of mojitos at some Cuban bar
He’s giddy as a child - when the ransoms displayed
He’s told Alice – come back - its ok
The take me to Cuba type – Doesn’t sound like him
What I know of this man
He’s not short on ambition
He’s middle aged - taking up a younger man’s mission
What I know of this man
He’s in a fix
He’s got something hanging over him - only this job - could nix
What I know of this man
He’s good with fantasy
What I know of this man
He’s copied from Cini
What I know of this man
He’s still a mystery
The take me to Cuba type – that’s not him at all
What type of Criminal - well it’s obvious to me
He’s the kind of criminal - REDACTED said he wanted to be
