Jo, Kaye can easily be found right here, why don't you ask him yourself and
show the findings?

Kaye Stated:
RUBBER BANDS ANALYSIS
Tom did experiments with rubber bands in sand and water. He concludes that their lifetime in either sand or water is less than a year. He states that this suggests the money became buried at Tena Bar within a year of the hijacking in 1971.
Tom states that his data does not support the dredging theory and that, in turn, does not support the Washougal Washdown Theory.
MONEY ANALYSIS
Tom did experiments with actual bills and concluded that they would fan out on both ends (with a rubber band snugly holding the bills in the middle) within minutes of being submerged and would then sink to the bottom within a matter of minutes.
Tom also concluded that, "Bundles of money 'floating' onto a beach like Tena Bar has a low probability and would require strong enough water flow to push the bundles onto the beach."
THE REMAINDER OF THIS POST IS ROBERT99'S OPINIONS AND SPECULATIONS
In my opinion, Tom Kaye's conclusions about the money arriving at Tena Bar within a year of the hijacking is correct and supported by his data. Also, Tom's conclusions about the dredging and Washougal Washdown theories are also correct. If the money made it to the bottom of the Washougal or Columbia Rivers, it would probably never have surfaced again.
But it appears conclusive that Tom's work indicates that the money was at Tena Bar prior to the end of 1972 and that the washdown and dredging theories are invalid.

Robert - WHAT DO YOU seem NOT able to GRASP about KAYE's statement and WHY do you twist it to FIT Your AGENDA?
My uneducated and knowing nothing about water and money does NOT translate Kaye statement as you have twisted it into YOUR opinion and REPEATED it to suit your needs - not a scientific one at that. A born and raise farm girl out of KY read Kayes statement much different than U do.
Maybe we could GET Kaye to come here and CLARIFY if YOUR grasp is what he was saying. I think NOT.
ANYONE INTERESTED IN WHAT I ACTUALLY WROTE SHOULD READ MY POST #42120
Jo Weber's response is typical of her replies. There is no need to waste further time trying to explain something to her that does not agree with the results of her 17 year fruitless search to prove that Duane Weber was Cooper. He wasn't!

THIS is a PLAIN old Common Sense of what AN old COUNTRY girl thinks Kaye meant by that statement (note if does NOT sound as though Kaye wrote the above as stated but how a writer interperted what he as saying).
1. The lifetime of the band is less than 1 yr in sand or in water.
2. The money was buried within a yr of the hijacking in 1971. DOES NOT mean it was on that beach - it would have to have been in a protected area - not in the WATER and/or on THE BEACH from 1971.
Seems like for the language used that someone else was writing that for KAYE and it was also the interpretation of the writer.
I would LIKE to read a STATEMENT made BY KAYE himself AS TO what he meant!
I want to READ a clear and concise statement by KAYE - not one interpreted or written by others.
It was my understanding that his opinion came right back to the Palmer Report - that the money had been in the River and on the beach for LESS than a year - all based on the rubber bands and the condition of the money.
Where the money/band was and how it survived - wasn't in the river for 8 yrs and wasn't on the beach for 8 yrs.
Could we get KAYE to make a statement in his own words - in a simple manner that EVERYONE could understand and that would NOT be subjected to the interpretation from others? CLEAR and CONCISE! He was NOT able to discount Palmers word as I understood it!
Jo, As I have pointed out to you several times, you can read Tom Kaye's conclusions on his web site. But, of course, you will NEVER accept Tom's conclusions for reasons already discussed.

QuoteRobert99 speaking about the Tena Bar money and the rubber bands on the bundles:
Quote'Basically, Tom's conclusion that the money was at Tena Bar within about one year of the hijacking (which would mean it was probably there before the end of 1972) pulls the rug out from under one of your pet theories.
Regardless of what Duane may have buried at Tena Bar or what may have been in the paper sack he threw into the Columbia, it was seven years to late to be money from the Cooper hijacking....'
Kaye has also been quoted as saying he believes the money arrived at Tena Bar by what he calls 'non-natural means'. In other words, he rules out dredging or washdown. This really leaves only two possibilities. One, that the bills were purposely placed where they were eventually found. Two, that the bills washed up there somehow a short time after the hijacking.
The problem I have with the 'washed up from the nearby river' theory is this: How exactly did three bundles of the money end up in the exact same spot with nothing else found? I would tend to believe this theory more if the bundles were found scattered over a wider area, or if one bundle or less was discovered...OR a majority of the money. But three or more in a single spot, as a result of washing up or something, is very difficult to reconcile.
I know some of you have heard this before, but I discussed this issue with former FBI agent Bob Furhman (sic) up at the sports bar next door to Third Place Books in Seattle, when Geoff Gray was doing his book tour. And I took a lot of flak for speculating here on this site that maybe the money WAS a plant, after all. Furhman said that my theory actually made sense, and when I asked him if anyone at the FBI thought of this when the money was discovered, he said no.
Think about it for a moment. Let's suppose that the hijacker plunged to his death in the Columbia, and that the money bag somehow washed loose or whatever. Then explain how MORE than one bundle of the cash ends up in the EXACT SAME SPOT with nothing else around. The chances of three unattached bundles (no strings holding them together) ending up in a single spot are remote indeed. One bundle, sure. MOST of the money, or a great deal of it, sure. One here, one over there, okay. Three together (approximately) is tougher to explain. I say approximately because people have said the bundles came in different sizes. Okay...maybe four, maybe five, but the total was about $5,800 which means more than ONE, and that makes it tricky to explain how they ended up in the same spot due to washing up solely by river current. They would have to stay together somehow for this little water trip and that is TOUGH to explain. One packet here, one packet a foot away, one packet over there. Fine. But sticking together and ending up in the same spot? Explain that. With no other money found in the area, or any other evidence of the hijacker, it is very difficult to do.
Blevins, You do understand that Tom concluded the money would sink when it became saturated with water and would sink to the bottom of the river. If the money sank to the bottom of the Columbia River near Tena Bar it is highly unlikely that it would ever return to the surface. You do understand that there is a shipping channel, reportedly 40 feet deep, in the Columbia downstream from Portland.
Also, would you do this thread and the human race a great service by teaching Jo Weber what the purpose of words are in the human language. But that may be a Mission Impossible.

QuoteRobert99 says in part:
Quote'Have you considered the possibility that you are right and that the money stayed together during the free fall because it WAS in the money bag? Forget about the string...'
Yes. There are two problems though. First, the flight path. You are saying the hijacker jumped near Tena Bar, when the 'official' (whatever that means) version says probably not. If you believe the current 'official' flight path, then this leaves natural forces being involved somehow. You see how this can go around in circles sometimes?
There is also the lack of other evidence. No body, no money bag, no briefcase, no parachutes. Just a big zero. Maybe a plant, maybe the money landed nearby. Without additional evidence it is really hard to say. If someday someone locates just ONE more piece of verifiable evidence from the hijacking, this will answer a WHOLE lot of questions, especially depending on where they find it. Lacking that, or a breakthrough on the flight path that discounts the official version, I just don't see how a conclusion can be drawn on the money. Even establishing a slightly different flight path might not be conclusive unless another piece of evidence is located. You could say the money was still a plant, and the hijacker walked out with everything else. But if they ever find one other thing somewhere that can be definitively linked to Cooper, it might answer all the really important questions. Hopefully, this will happen someday.
BLEVINS, YOU ARE DISMISSING THE MONEY FIND INFORMATION BECAUSE IT DOESN'T FIT INTO YOUR OVERALL SCHEME OF THINGS!
The money location and the placard are the only two physical "facts" about the plane's location between Seattle and Portland. Yet you basically dismiss their importance because they don't fit into your scheme of how things had to happen.
Normally, investigators let the evidence speak to them. You are telling the evidence that it is not believable because you have other ideas.

Tom did experiments with rubber bands in sand and water. He concludes that their lifetime in either sand or water is less than a year. He states that this suggests the money became buried at Tena Bar within a year of the hijacking in 1971.
Tom states that his data does not support the dredging theory and that, in turn, does not support the Washougal Washdown Theory.
