That was interesting.. I had done research on Rem Cru and Sprague Electric,, I believe those tie particles are most likely from a high end industrial/military/electronics environment..
olemisscub had said his suspect was 58, a bit off the high side for Cooper... while researching I accidentally found their tracks they left on the internet which indicated that Vordahl was their suspect..
So, I asked olemisscub if he had any pics,, he said he dropped him as he was too old..
Of course I knew he was lying, totally understandable as they wanted to save him for CooperCon.. so I didn't push it.
But, Vordahl is not Cooper and the tie does not indicate Cooper worked in a Titanium rich environment.
Why, because if he did the tie would have far more Titanium particles on it than it does.. Vordahl has 66 Ti patents with the name Milton B Vordahl and 20 more with Milton Bernard Vordahl, there might be some overlap I didn't check them all. Vordahl is Mr Titanium... the fact that the tie was not dominated with Ti particles indicates that Cooper was not in a Ti rich environment. (if he was actually wearing the tie at the time)
Also negatives..
Really pushing the age at 58..
Vordahl was high profile,, Cooper wasn't
Vordahl's hair is not marceled/wavy/curly, some pics it is parted on the wrong side
Vordahl doesn't have the swarthy/olive latin appearance and characteristics.
Vordahl does not look to have a protruding lower lip. At least in the pics so far.
Vordahl resembles sketch A, which was poor and made Cooper look too clean cut,,
Vordahl is good looking, Cooper was described as homely/Geeky
He doesn't fit Cooper's profile.. an outgoing high profile successful guy with 80 patents commits a hijacking in his own backyard with his face exposed.. doesn't make sense.
Cooper was a geeky desperate loner.. he was familiar with the Seattle/Tacoma area but did not live there.
That is also why I reject Braden,,, Braden was a badass, he even looks like a badass with dimples,, Cooper was not a badass.. being a badass isn't a plus in the Cooper case.
