"Aug 14, 2009 – Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme, who was convicted in 1975 of pointing an empty gun at then-President Gerald Ford, was released from prison today ..." I knew "Alice" and I CAN prove it because she is still alive. BUT, you will NEVER believe THAT either! She said she wouldn't bite, but Terry said she would! (:E3) Truth is stranger than fiction! Just a matter of accuracy. And the kid lied about the $15. Ask Mac. Ask Jerry! Look at the balance of the money recovered. Figure it out. Our second Dick and Jane Award recipient! ..................I am related to Squeaky Fromme

Cooper curse = more than one person here this all applies to.... Leave it to Orange to keep the Cooper Curse going! Of course I take her statements personally because that is exactly what she intends - she is Female. The Cooper Curse: Exists only because of the inadequate ability of the FBI to maintain - one capable agent to compile research on such cases as this. What has that Cost them? Too Much! Over 40 yrs no one really knows how man agents were assigned this case along with all of their other duties. This as resulted in no continuation of accurate knowledge of the case and lots of government dollars used to research and to investigate things not necessary. The FBI dropped the ball. This could have been avoided by allowing older agents to stay longer - working only cold cases. I do believe this is NOW being done, but only in the last few yrs. The mandatory retirement age was in the prime of life for these senior agents - just when their real investigative abilities stepped in. As for Cooper - it is now too late. I would be impossible for one agent to review all of the files and leads presented over the last 40 yrs. It is doubtful some of the leads ever made it to the agent in charge and they had other crimes to take care of and with little knowledge of what the files contained. An assimilation of every call made to the FBI about Cooper and ever lead that seemed to go in a direction or feel good - just might all be traced back to a possible suspect. Such as "I used to know this guy who worked with me in the 40's in XYZ - he was always getting in trouble and he resemble that guy who worked with me". Did the receiving agent record the source and location and contact information for the caller? If so was this information ever given to an agent knowledgeable of the crime? How many of these mulitple calls might have been traced back to one single source or suspect? The FBI created the Curse if you choose to call it that. Everytime I got a lead - I tried to follow it with what I had at my disposal and have made this available to individuals. Certain documentations I could never get hard copies nor verify - because the are Government document not available to me. 1. Duane's SS records from 1962 to 1968 under John C. Collins. 2. The detailed prison record and mug shot from the Jefferson Prison. 3. The paper stating Weber had parachute training in the 40's - something within the files of a family member who deceased and the receiving party would not make available. 4. The criminal or government file on a man connected to Weber - by the name of Roach. 5. Any trace of his connection to the man known to me as Ed Horan...the man just doesn't exist. 6. Duane's connections to JMWAVE organization was NEVER investigated by the FBI. They never spoke to the man he loaned 5K to back in 1972 - how did Duane get that kind of money to loan his boss and why? 7. Who was Tommy Gunn and what was his relation to Duane Weber. 8. Tony Wong also knew Weber during a time frame Duane knew Tommy - remember Tommy called Duane - "John". 9. Why didn't the FBI interview the children involved in Duane's life from 1962 to 1972? All I have is my voice and my key board and limited funds to conduct the investigation into the background of Weber. I have done what I can do and now after 16 yrs there is little I can do other than hope for a miracle that this crime will be solved. Those who came forward 40 yrs ago, 30 yrs ago,20 yrs ago and 10 yrs ago - none of us have access to those names and files. How many links could have been there which would have traced back to one common suspect. The FBI did not keep those kind of records and now after 40 yrs not one agent would ever be able to find the needle in the haystack. I wish there was some way to put my memory of that trip in 1979 on a film and have recorded the things Duane told me and showed me. If I told another story about that - trip, NO one would ever believe a word I have said before (if anyone even believes what I have said). I did touch on our trip to Tahoe and the things he pointed out along the way - so very strange that now these things seem important. Not sure if I did this in the thread or some place else, but it has been said in the past. Remember Duane left me at THE DALLES for 5 1/2 hours on our way to Seattle. Never knew where he went. When we left Seattle to Vancouver and then to Portland we drove along the Columbia on the OR. side until we reached a road that would take us to Mt Hood (Mt or town - I don't know).. This is when we turned around and headed back toward Portland and he announce we were going to Tahoe. I asked if we could afford it and he told me they gave him a cash bonus at the meeting in Seattle - (bull - they gave him a check and I found this in the tax records). Heading back to Portland we turned ( I left the old Osha Map in Ca in 2004 so the marked route is forever gone). This was a map I marked of the places we went to on our way to Tahoe. This map showed the entire 1/2 of the USA with little detail of course - but it is all I had. I will have to do the detail on this trip later. I have some place I have to be in a little while. Some one might want to dig up the place I retraced this trip before just to be sure.

Anyone got a link to Marla's Facebook account?

......................I'D LIKE TO TAKE THE TIME TO WISH EVERYONE HERE AT DZ A MERRY CHRISTMAS.................................

......................also she(Marla)had to have known that any background info that she wasn't proud of could possibly be dug up and thrown at her considering the type of slueths we have here at DZ........................

.................I'm with Vicki and Orange..............sjsmith created a profile with the intent of splashing Marla's dirty laundry on here in order to hurt her......................whatever the motiviation was, the basic intent was to hurt her and her credibility...............now having said that I must declare that the best indicator of future behavior is past behavior..................Marla admits that everything sjsmith posted is true.......so if she carried on a 20 year ruse within her own family what makes you think she is not capable of carrying on a ruse with her DB Cooper story......................while I do not like the sjssmith post there is something to take away from it..........................

..........I liked her answers too Farflung.....................I kinda hoped she'd answer mine.....................
