FLYJACK 760 #64751 Saturday at 01:41 PM (edited) One of the many reasons Cossey's description of the chute Cooper used is unreliable.. He claimed he had his packing records and serial numbers.. (a requirement for riggers) he never provided them and even claimed he gave everything to the FBI,, he didn't. There is no corroboration for Cossey's claim of a nylon sage green NB6/8 and sage green nylon harness. IMO, he didn't provide them because his initial description was wrong.

FLYJACK 760 #64752 Saturday at 01:56 PM 1979 map of the Fazio's.. the sand/gravel operation was at the southern end, money at the furthest North point of the property. It is almost 600 yards from the sand/gravel operation . The drawn circle representing the money spot is off just slightly South of the actual spot. So, the idea that somehow the money came from their sand operation is not reasonable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLYJACK 760 #64753 Saturday at 02:03 PM This is odd.. physical evidence "straps of material from one of the parachutes"??? Does that mean the front reserve Cooper opened? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLYJACK 760 #64754 Saturday at 02:07 PM (edited) The pilot's said "American" currency. Tina said said she later learned from him that he wanted "US" currency... This does not make Cooper a Canadian... It just suggests that Cooper spent time in an environment that did not use US money exclusively. It could be Vietnam, it may be an American.. Cooper likely spent time recently outside the US. Edited Saturday at 02:27 PM by FLYJACK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"The Seattle and Portland Agents in attendance felt the accurate story concerning the incident had never appeared in its correct form in any publications they had read." I'll bet their statement is still valid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More than 10 months after the hijacking, Cossey had still not bothered to inform the FBI of data that should have been in his parachute rigger's log book and could have been retrieved in less than 5 minutes. Obviously, the log book information did not support whatever Cossey was claiming or he would have provided it. Simply ignore everything Cossey claimed and there are no problems with the parachutes. Has any progress been made in Cossey's murder investigation? Edited Saturday at 06:23 PM by Robert99 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dudeman17 344 #64757 Saturday at 10:27 PM Why this mixup persisted boggles me. Sure, that night when phone calls are made and Cossey thinks he's volunteered his rigs... But the next day or whenever the next time he's at the dz and realizes they didn't take his rigs... And from the FBI's side, surely someone could have said, 'no we didn't take his, we got them from this pilot...' So why did they keep asking Cossey about them? Anyway, this Wednesday on Discovery, Josh Gates is implying he's going to name Cooper? Who's behind this? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wednesday,,, https://www.discovery.com/shows/expedition-files/episodes/lost-and-found My guess is Gryder and McCoy... and another Ryan debunking.. Has Josh Gates ever solved anything??
