  1. I haven't talked to Bruce yet, no. I should tho, haven't talked to him recently.
  2. I definitely erred by agreeing to do the podcast before I had a chance to put my findings into writing somewhere. My explanation is simply I haven't had time. As some know, I have a young child that takes most of my free time and since his birth I have tried to move away from the Vortex. I also have a demanding day job. Not having something in writing about this is on me. Mea culpa. To address the criticisms: There is a sample size issue. These results are probabalistic, and a false positive is always a possibility. I was using the Signature stylometry software that is about 25 years old. I would much prefer to let the DNA sample taken from Clara's letter do the talking. The Forman's will be supplying me with more writing samples from Barb and I believe there's a way to address the sample size issue. I will also try to find reasonable control samples to test as well. (I did test control samples of other writibg about Cooper, but I'd like find something contemporaneous to 1982 when the Clara letter was written)
  3. I was trying to say that the tie was the only connection that *could* be made between Barb and the hijacking since both her stories lack "guilty knowledge" of the events on the plane. Barb did work scores of jobs as Bobby, and focusing on connecting the tie to her was the avenue I suggested to the Formans.
  4. Profit they might. I doubt it tho. Cooper case is already saturated with media. The irony is they waited too long. If the McCoy's had made their claims prior to 2016 it would have been seen as practically solving the case in the public eye. Instead, they waited until after all the FBI files showing McCoy could not possibly have been Cooper was released to the public.
  5. Yes... but what if... We were wrong and the FBI covered up their own mistakes with a far-reaching and very expensive 45 year conspiracy involving scores of FBI agents and several US Presidents?
  6. Rick looks and sounds convincing. He's saying he heard his mother confess to helping with the Cooper hijacking and he offered physical evidence. It's also possible that the current people at the FBI simply don't know the results of the investigation into McCoy in 72.
  7. You are going to be so annoyed when the FBI declares it was McCoy and closes the case for good.
  8. I have the data, but it's not in the book. The waters off Denmark were lethal. Unless a fishing boat spotted you or you were close to shore, that was it. Also, the RAF and USAAC had flotation devices that Cooper did not have. Guys who landed in deep enough water without a "Mae West" almost all drowned even when close to shore. The water that night was about 10C, so cold but not North Sea cold. I think Dave's analysis is right, Cooper had a chance at survival if he knew enough and had experience in skydiving or in the military. My father did training jumps into water around that time.
  9. No one wants to talk about Tom's plan to send his vacuum filters from the tie to a metagenomics lab?
  10. And that's just it, the male DNA is evidence of some level of hoax. The question is how much of a hoax, what kind of hoax, and what motivated the hoaxer[s]
  11. You can take the top and bottom of the can off with a can opener, then you have a 6 to 8 inch piece of trim coil you can roll into something shaped like dynamite. If you dress it up with wires and tape and make an effort you might get something that passes for an ied. I don't happen to believe this but it's plausible-ish. I like the idea of the fake bomb being a ploy by Cooper to Clara to avoid the telling her the fact the dynamite was real.
  12. So it's possible someone placed an emergency beacon in Cooper's chute before giving it to him? and that person never came forward?
  13. I thought the issue was resolved as not Cooper related?
  14. Was it the biggest influence tho? There are only a few copies of this book available. No way the book created much of an impact on the public when only a few hundred people read the thing.
