Farflung's take (and poster) regarding Hugh Hefner. Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

Robert, we've been pranked. April 1st. Miss Vicki is doing an Earl Cossey Amboy chute imitation No big deal. If she's getting married, then congrats. If not, then ha-ha, funny joke.] It was funny. I couldn't tell him the real reason for my trips...could I? Bruce kept hinting around about my recent trips to Seattle since we all met at the symposium. He wanted a Cooper Gossip Section on the forum and asked about me again....so I pranked him! I even kept it Cooper focused...the picture of the ring was one I found on Google images. It is the ring that Hugh Hefner gave his fiance a few years ago. We all know that Hugh Hefner was the founder and chief creative officer of Playboy Enterprises and the Cooper letters were cut and paste from Playboy. In addition, Hefner owned a 727 in the late 60's which was named "The Big Bunny". Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

I don't care if you respond, but I think you should know a few things. First, I have a right to defend myself against bullshit allegations and outright lies by one of your users at that website. And if that means taking a few screenshots for an article, I will do that. I was going to discuss this with you privately, but you did not allow that. You blocked the PM, you blocked the site, and I don't have an email for you. Do you think I enjoyed making this stupid crap public? Of course I don't. You are hypocrisy at its finest. You said publicly on that site that if I appeared you wouldn't allow me to post. That's your right. However...you also said you weren't going to allow that new site to go bat-shit crazy on people...and you did. Almost immediately, as a matter of fact. I'm going to do the article into Cook's investigation into the case, and I will use some of the screenshots, but only the ones that make a point. I will also use Skipp Porteous' recent emails to me. Skipp has seen all of those things Cook said in those posts and he had responses. He said he was more disappointed in Cook than anything else, since he (Skipp) has been nothing but nice to him. And this is how Skipp gets repaid? As far as the article, the posts and Skipp's responses are only a small part. It's mainly about the investigation that Cook has done into the case, and his claims along the way, i.e. the safety deposit box, the dead judge, questioning whether Gossett's sons stand to gain in any way, the Janet Fable, etc. I'm using his comments and the responses to demonstrate a point about Cook, and I think it's completely valid. Those DCMA rules mostly apply to people sharing files stolen from record and film companies by the way, not a few screenshots. It's within the law for me to take them under Fair Use rules to support a story or demonstrate a point. You can file your complaint if you wish. I wouldn't worry about me going back to the website anyway. I already have everything I need for the article and I see you've warned people about their behavior on that site. This is good. I have nothing against you or that site particularly, in fact I even copied over many of the links you use because I thought they were good sources for the public. I've even considered making a mention of the site or linking to it from AB for viewers. This would increase your public traffic...and new members...by scads. And I will take a look from time to time just to make sure you aren't allowing more open slander without giving me a chance to defend myself. It's hypocrisy to say you run a clean site and then allow that shit to happen. Sounds like you are putting a stop to it, and that's the one good thing. I've never supported the idea that Gossett was the hijacker, but I didn't make up lies about Galen Cook just to make Kenny look better, or Cook worse. Cook did that. And I believe when people do that, they should be called out a bit on it publicly. At least I will be polite about it. Skipp lives near This Place, FYI. Sort of up the road from it. This is my last post about any of this. I am sick of discussing it publicly. You could have avoided all of it had you not blocked all possible com. I just googled Galen Cook with a few different keywords and he was a lot easier to find than Bill Mitchell. I didn't even have to use USSearch and pay their fees.

Stop. You're scaring me. It's a publicly-accessible forum. I'll view anytime I wish. From the library, my friend's Iphone, whatever. I think the general public will see the hypocrisy involved here. You made a big deal about establishing a fair and honest site, and then the first thing that happens on that site is you allowed rampant lies to be published to the site. Then you complained that I didn't address those things directly...while at the same time you made sure I had to go public just to make my complaints known. It is hypocrisy at it's best, or worst, depending on how you look at it. I will be using those screenshots of Galen's posts in my article, since they fall under Fair Use...which means they relate directly to the substance of the article and make a point. Good luck with the DMCA. D.R.A.M.A. First of all, I feel that the behavior of the aforementioned poster is childish and shows a lack of emotional maturity. With that being said.... Robert, do you have Cook's contact information? Address him individually. It is not a moderators' responsibility to verify if the information is truthful or full of lies. If it was, Quade would be spending ALL his time here. If you have an issue with someone and what they are saying about you..go directly to the source. Crying, whining and talking about your personal life in this forum gets you nowhere and is pathetic. So go on...write your Newsvine article, call the local news, make a video and throw it on YouTube, call the FBI and complain that Cook is a meany poo-poo head. The general public is waiting to see the hypocrisy!! hy·poc·ri·sy noun 1.the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.

It's not a story. It was just an auction sale. If the only thing you were concerned about regarding that post was the amount I said 377 paid for a Cooper bill...then you missed the point completely. However, I'm not going to address that post any further. I said what I had to say. I think I provided sufficient proof of my point and we can leave it at that. Cooper Stuff: Tina (co-writer) reports that she has many of the storyboards drawn up for the KC script. .................................................. This is no big deal. .............. No Jane, I think you missed the point. To me, it looks like Mark noticed the dollar amount for the Cooper bill and tried to correct your inaccurate statement by asking 377. This amount could have easily been researched (in your words) before you exaggerated the "facts" and put it in print. All this does is perpetuate another falsehood. Maybe it is time to change the signature on your posts. Here....I found a quote you can use! You also go on to say "Cooper Stuff", but it seems it is more of a advertisement for a screenplay about the life of KC. In post #52262, MarkBennett queries: Could you answer his question without all the added DRAMA? Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

Lowest I have sank? Assumed name? Is your real name 'mrshutter45'? Mine isn't DungeonsWizard, either. I did it because like a lot of people, I don't like to be told where I can and cannot go. Face it. You were punkd all the way. And now everyone knows the ugly truth about that website you have going, which has received less total hits than an average post here by Jo Weber gets in a week.

I understand your frustration Shutter... we get to read the same regurgitated stories about Kenny..the interviews...yada yada....like we all haven't had this KC crap shoved down our throats in the last three years. People ask a simple question of Blevins (and sometimes just a general Cooper question) and get paragraphs of banter when a simple answer in a few sentences would have sufficed. Well...if you don't think Kenny's a good suspect, and you've completely written him off...then perhaps it's time to stop mentioning either me or him in future posts for a while and move on to something/someone else. I have said many times nothing new from me on KC until August anyway.

Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

You ignore the obvious. Margaret Geestman did a half-dozen interviews pointing to her ex-husband as an accomplice in the Cooper case. This same man went on national television and said he thought Kenny could be the hijacker. Witnesses have placed both he and Kenny missing the week of the crime, so offering an alibi might be more in order for him than tossing Kenny under the bus. In her final interview, Margie admits that Kenny was the guy who went missing that week with her husband. Bernie plays games with History Channel folk and gets caught in a pack of lies. Now Margie sells her ranch for a half-million dollars to the State of Washington and bails town. There's an old saying, Smokin. ***'Don't piss down my back and then try to tell me it's raining...' Yeah- I think of that one quite bit in this thread. But here's a couple more that you might try - just cause you're in a tuxedo and riding in the train with another equally well- dressed passenger does not mean you're going to the same party. Or my personal favorite- Correlation is not causation and A pile of crap does not necessarily mean you're getting a pony for Christmas. smokin99, here is another tried and true. The KC is Cooper story is kind of like a fart: if you have to force it, then it’s going to be shitty. And Robert, look at your own Cooper story when writing quotes. You have been pissing down the backs of many and calling it rain for a few years now. In fact many of your quotes can be turned around and applied toward your postings on DZ. You have been telling everyone here that you are not going to put ANY information about KC in the public eye, but you continually endorse him as a suspect. Why?

Damn! That was one gutsy jump. Exit at an estimated 350 mph, tumble, stabilize, pull so close to the ground that your hang time is about five seconds... and with only a chest reserve with a 24 ft unsleeved canopy, no altimeter, no goggles. Makes all my jumps seem like walks in the park, even my two cutaways. 377 Too bad you couldn't make it up to the symposium and Ariel in 2013. Robb was a really nice guy and very willing to answer any questions. You, as a jumper, would have enjoyed talking to him. I found a picture of Bruce, Geoffrey and Robb on my phone.......

As I recall, the Ramparts Magazine article picture of Ted Braden showed blue or blue-green eyes, not brown. Brown contacts might have been used by Cooper but there is no evidence that this occurred. Braden's history is fascinating. How the hell did he duck prosecution for desertion and get reinstated (and possibly even promoted) like it never happened? What card was he holding that caused intervention on his behalf by General John Singlaub? Braden took careless risks in Vietnam and was criticized by his colleagues for unnecessarily putting them and the missions in danger. This trait could fit Cooper. Braden also apparently knew how to travel internationally with fake ID. The SOG guys who served with him have their reasons for suspecting Braden. It might be something intangible. They might see a signature, something about the crime that has Braden's particular touch. Braden is dead now. Ended up as a truck driver. His last occupation has always struck me as odd given his background and apparent thirst for living on the edge. Maybe he was hauling contraband. 377 Cooper's eyes were seen by Florence for a few seconds when he looked over the top of his glasses. This is what I have heard before, here in the forum and in articles. It also has been discussed in this forum that Cooper may have had amphetamines on his person. Unfortunately, I do not have a source for these last two statements, but here is what I have always wondered. Eyes dilate for many different reasons. Alcohol and drug use (included prescriptions), mental strain, anxiety and stress, low lighting (behind sunglasses, low light in the cabin), etc. His eyes could have been dilated for these reasons alone, making any eye color seem dark, black or brown. Should a suspect who matches other physical characteristics, such as; approximate age, height, weight, hair color and style of Cooper be dismissed alone on his eye color? The FBI wanted poster states his eyes were "possibly brown" (attached).

Why do you park on a driveway and drive on a parkway? Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

Ok, I'll ask the question....then why are you posting here, Robert? This is a DB Cooper discussion forum. What is to be gained by waiting until your book "Cooperland" comes out? You say it is only going to be tangentially about the Cooper case, but more about the personalities of the folks who follow the case. So, you find information about the case, but you won't post it. But, you will post about the Seahawks game, your cleaning business your Sci-Fi books and lots of other topics. You can talk about what you want...but if that's what you want to talk about, why are you doing it here? +1 Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

Good thing I scrolled back..I would have never seen your "re-edited" or "revised" information which does not answer the question anyway. Can you try to respond directly to somebody without editing one of your prior posts? Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

However, you brought the witness up and then we asked the questions regarding the witness. Then you use the same deflection techniques to bring KC into the conversation. Again, we were asking if the witness received the package...I asked NOTHING about KC. However, I think you realize that. Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

Just curious, Robert....did you hear anything back on the package you sent? It is a simple question. Answer it. NO. I've explained this maybe seven times now. Absolutely NO NEW INFO will be released by AB of Seattle at Dropzone on Kenny Christiansen or any NEW investigation on him until further notice. Not happening. Frankly, some of you can't be trusted. Others I have no problem with. The 'others' group is much larger, fortunately. You may contact me by email, but then I will have to verify your identity and obtain a Confidentiality Agreement from you to release anything. Sorry, but that's the way it goes. Besides, I have to verify certain info. Then why bring it up in the first place if you do not intend to expand on it? Your response could have been as easy as: Yes....he received it and I have been in contact with him. Or.....No, wrong person. If you are not comfortable sharing it on the forum then say nothing. We all would appreciate it. I guess we will all wait in the fetal position until your new book is released, re-written and given away as a free PDF. Yawn.. BTW....It wasn't an open ended question. I was only expecting a yes or no answer. Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

Doubtful, at least between Seattle and Portland. Cascade Mountains are well under 10,000 feet ASL in this area. The only real exceptions are Mount Rainier, Mount St Helens, and possibly Mount Adams. But those mountains are a fair distance EAST of V23. Just saying. You literally don't know what you are yammering about or anything about this! he needs to correct his own problems. website still full of error's, but as usual he must correct everyone here, or try to..... Or take the time to respond to a question that was previously asked by MarkBennett. I asked the same question on January 9th. Robert....did you hear anything back on the package you sent? Just curious, Robert....did you hear anything back on the package you sent? It is a simple question. Answer it. Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

Yup. Slicing the pie. Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

I gave your questions numbers. 1) We were discussing stairs, not Kenny. Your statement is a broad generalization. You want to try the stairs by leaning over with a load? Go for it. Not me. I'm backing my ass DOWN. But that's just me. 2) I now have full details on this. Looks like he paid half, financed the remainder. Details will be revealed in Cooperland, but you could find out on your own if you wanted. Told you this like six times already. 3) Looked like that at first. I was wrong. Still...Geestman denying he knew any of the details about it, even though he was Best Man at the wedding of the folks who sold Kenny the house. This 'I Know Nothing' claim by Geestman is probably just another in a long series of lies by him. 4) I said it COULD have been. I know he replaced the countertops in that kitchen within a month or two after moving in. No one knows for sure, but there is some evidence pointing his way, although it is not conclusive. 5) I grew up in that town and back then it was about 2,500 population. I know those apartments well. I would call them low-end units when they were built. Today they are pretty close to fleabag status. I've toured a couple of the units. 6) Says in Blast we don't believe the money is actually from the hijacking. But you'd be surprised at how well a smart investor could do with a bag of twenties back in 1971. Of course, this assumes Kenny as the hijacker, and that is NOT proven. 7) FREE ANSWER: Why do you keep asking questions on KC? It's obvious nothing would convince you he was Cooper anyway. Join the club. Judging from my email box it runs about 3-1. Three think we were on to something. One will say they don't think he was Cooper. I'm used to it. I'm OKAY with it. MrShutter made observations and did not intend those to be questions. You gave numbers to his observations and answered them with all things KC....as usual. Mark Bennett asked you an actual question and you did not answer him.... Just curious, Robert....did you hear anything back on the package you sent? So I will ask the same question.... Robert....did you hear anything back on the package you sent? It is a simple question. Answer it.

Hi Jerry, Welcome back! I missed you at the symposium and Ariel this year! I did see your recent TV appearance.Looking good!! http://www.travelchannel.com/video/looking-for-db-cooper Vicki Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

Or ... he never said that! READ THE THREAD. It's old advice but you need to check FACTS BEFORE leaping to theory. Facts vs myth. Hot button theory vs. actual research. you miss the point, I STATED,, either the hijacker said it OR somebody added it,, WHY would somebody add it if they were American.. would an American add it to the narrative.. Why would any American add "American" to describe the currency. and you sir miss the WHOLE POINT! He never said it - period! The issue is facts vs myths, in case you care. It's all supposition, of course, but to Flyjack's point, someone said it..... and he makes a valid observation that the crew has no reason to interject the word American. Here are the references... From the handwritten crew notes: "negotiable currency" From the transcript: "He wants negotiable American currency. Denomination not important" From ckret's post on Dropzone: "He asked for negotiable US currency" Well it is a good thing someone asked for negotiable or negotiable american currency. It would have made the jump more difficult with $200,000 worth of gold bars. Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs
