Now, to do what I intended to do tonight. It would be great if the site had the ability to post a pic in the text, but I do hope that all will open both of the attachments. One of the photos was taken in 1976 I believe and Duane had gained a lot of weight and let his hair go gray. Note the resemblance to another composite that was on a program about Cooper? Two is a prison photo take in 1960 - 11 yrs prior to the crime. Also note the resemblance to the other composite. I have SAT on these two photos waiting for this moment. Duane was like a chameleon and you would see what he wanted you to see - also depending on the view from which you had of him - 1. face to face the forehead was not so high. 2. If you were standing over him as a stewardest would have his forehead would appear very high. 3. If you were looking up at him his forehead seemed very average. I am not saying he looked like Mayfield at all, but he does also look like the other composite with the exception of that twist of hair. If Ms Shaffner could see these along with Mayfields wonder who she might ID as Cooper. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

Matt is the one who mentioned Knoss. I directed a posting at him as to why he would bring this man's name up. I will not acknowledge this information in a public forum and stated that others can get hurt.. I also wanted to know his source. Unfortunately someone else decided that the posting was meant for them...and the subject got swallowed up in a lot of trival things.

Okay DBCooperCatcher - unless you are the one who POSTED to Winnepeg - then you have absolutely no way of knowing if that is the composite that the stewardess did - it DOES NOT match the one the artist did on the TV program with Florence. If you are Catcher - you managed to get the other site locked down - the way you speak (post) is the same - the style matches. Perhaps you are not the same - if so I apologize.. That person was retorical and never produced any proof of his claims - all over the place and then went out and publicly accused Mayfield of being Cooper. I do not have the time or energy to deal with this again.

OK, guys and gals - I am able to do some things at this time, but my time and energy are still limited. I buried my current spouse on Friday, July 20, 2007 after he took ill on June 11. He was in the hospital for sometime and then moved to a nursing home and died on July 1, 2007. The Wednesday before he died the preliminary diagnosis came in on my medical situation and it doesn't look too good - I have an appointment with an Onocologist / Hemotologist this wk and I am sure that I am in for many more tests before it is over. Unfortunately I will also have to deal with legal issues regarding his death over the next few wks consuming a great deal of my time and energy.

Matt says: Dear Matt: Since your profile does not say much about you - I need to know your source - and I will only talk about this privately or on the phone. Your profile indicates that you do not receive or accept private emails.

Just wanted to let all know that I am still alive, but having some difficulties at the moment. Due to a personal situation I have not been able to speak with the 2 gentlemen I located - regarding the past of one Duane L. Weber. It may be a couple of more wks before I can talk to them - right now my focus is on the problem at hand which has nothing to do with "Cooper". Please be patient for the time being - I believe my search will soon end one way or another.

This thread had almost a 1000 hits this week. I am in awl there are so many people following this story and are willing to help me in any way they can.

[reply "Ted has been convicted in both federal and state courts. He has served time at least three times, or so he told me on a trip we did back in '02." . Hey Guys - I am interested in anything anyone knows about Mayfield having been in Jail or Served Time in any institution prior to 1971. From 1945 to 1971 - Those are the dates. I don't even know how old Mayfield is---that would narrow the dates somewhat. Remember that Duane was in 6 federal prisons for a period of 17 yrs during that time. I am sure he was held in many a county or city jail also - awaiting trial, sentencing, etc. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

Quote from Steve Steve, Keep right on stirring that pot. Does anyone know how many times he has been in jail and where he was incarcerated???? I can be reached by private email.

"Ted has been convicted in both federal and state courts. He has served time at least three times, or so he told me on a trip we did back in '02." Jerry PS) In his defense, he is the most optimistic person I have ever known. Hi Jerry, Ok Guy's - see how naive I am. I spoke with Mayfield and he told me that he had only been in jail one time and that was in the early 90's for a civil matter. Does anyone know where he spent time and the dates?????????

I apologize to all. I was wrong. I was unaware of past interviews and the feelings of other jumpers about his past actions. Unfortunately I seem to run on one track and use a teachers tactics when they are not called for. Again I apologize to everyone. Sorry.

.......................................................... What part of this are you calling fraud and hype? Steve: it is evident by the sites we were invited to look at - WWW.KOIN.Com - the televison segments. Two guys claimed that Mayfield was "Cooper". That is the only issue I have any concerns about. Anything else Mayfield may or may not have done is not relevant to me and my purpose.. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

[ "INADVERTANTLY" I was being kind and giving him the benefit of the doubt and a way out of self incrimination. The same with that he may have known Duane under another name - remember Duane had a way of disappearing. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

The spirit of the day is evident here at DZ. I think most of you are thinking that we have actually made a link. Prison records - will tell the story. If the FBI doesn't jump on this they are idiots - ... Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

I read that article and found irony in the fact that it was published May 24. On May 24 1996 one yr and two months after Duane died - the day I found out who Dan Cooper was and the day I first contacted the FBI. He did not tell me he was D.B. Cooper - he told me "I'm Dan Cooooper." I had been told that my husband would die in 5 days (but lived for 11) and I did not even think about who Dan Coooper was (he cooed it out). Always wondered how he said it to the ticket agent. By the way who is Dan Dvorak and Matt Myers? I appreciate being made aware of such articles. I emailed the author and suggested his efforts as an investigative reporter might be useful in helping me find Ed Hurand.

This wk of May 9, 2007. I called the Seattle FBI speaking with the former public relations director. He told me he did not know who handles the case at this time. He did state that the case is still open and that they would be unable to provide me with the information regarding the Finger Prints mentioned to me upon return of the DNA. Not willing to take "No" for an answer - pursued the matter and was able to talk with another agent. I did not understand what I was being told - but understood that no finger prints were found to match any suspects....I immediately retorted that was what I had been saying all along - that Duane's FBI file had been altered. He reply with something else I didn't understand. I pleaded with them in the past to check Duane's prints in the FBI file against his prints from the other 5 prisons he resided in. If they run those they will at least find a match to the prints on the DNA evidence I supplied to them. I did not wipe any prints off and one of those items only Duane and I had touched to my knowledge. His prints HAD to be on that item. Perhaps I misunderstood. I am trying to find out who is currently handling this case at this time. I am going to follow the phone calls with a letter. Wish me luck.

I am 67 yrs old, with osteoperosis. One bad knee (needs surgery), disk and vertebra problems plus multiple health problems. Due to an automobile accident in 2000 - I have enough broken bones for one life time...not going to push my luck.

[:)Still alive - although with all of the blood tests these past few months - it is a wonder I have any left at all. I am going to call the FBI this wk about the DNA as I feel I need answers as to what they meant by "No Finger Prints". If I do not get the appropriate answers from them then I will do what I was going to do a few months ago, but backed down due to my current husbands health and my own. If this campaigne that I am going to embark on does not get results - I have to let go (so I say now), but you never know what the future will bring. I have been working on a letter with a summary of my search and copies of photos - these I intend to send to anyone I think might be able to help me. Prison authorities, newspapers, state and federal personnel....if I am going to go down as the Crazy Woman then I will go with a bang. Should any of you have professional experience with summary proposals or letters, I would appreciate if you would private email me with your ideas - things that I need to say and things I should not say. I need to get a current list of governors, states attorneys, congress, senators and newpapers. Any ideas and sources would be appreciated Hopefully toward Nov of this yr I will be able to go to WA. I want to retrace that trip again. I only had one day after the camera crew left to find what I found with the help of 4 other ladies my age and an off duty detective. The "guide" the camera crew had was useless. There is something else I have to do while I am there - I want to fly over the area I believe he jumped from (not where the FBI and others seem to think he landed) and release his ashes. Part of his ashes will be dumped at the other 4 places he took me to...an area behind the airport, the site on the Columbia, Lake LaCames and the area where he walked out of the woods.

Are you asking the year of the Skyjacking or the yr he obtained a gun and false ID? The skyjacking was Nov. 24, 1971. The arrest for obtaining a license with false ID and being held for 72 hours happened in 1990 in FL. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

Ouote from John Rich: " didn't have the fancy computer systems back then that we have now, with centralized databases, and states didn't necessarily share info with other states." Your reply does not explain how they can whitewash -both felonies. One - an excon in possession of a gun (obviously, they didn't run a background check). BUT, - obtaining a drivers license in the state of FL with false identification is a felony. How, did they miss that one? As law inforcement I would think they would have questioned WHY, was this man trying to obtain a false drivers license - age 65 - with renal failure? Compassion maybe, but with the purchase of a gun and the false Id - that should have been a red flag.
