Cooper took food...

You make that sound like you don't think he would own such a rig. Sure he would. No he wouldn't skydive with it, but he would wear it while flying, if he was flying jumpers in a small Cessna he would be required to wear it. And he might likely wear it as an instructor while putting out static-line students.

No way. 20 DIFFERENT witness accounts for Hahneman being between 5'10 and 6'? I've read quite a lot of information on his hijacking and the highest I've ever seen is 5'10. His official FBI description is 5'8 to 5'9. The crew said 5'8. 5'10 shows up in the AP article, but I can't recall seeing anything taller than that for him. I'd like to see some examples.

Shutter and I had already eliminated the Hick's placard before the Edward's book... Norjak did NOT have the optional emergency airstair release... never had that specific decal.

It's what is called a "hobby case", meaning that the Bureau really only wants you working on it on your free time. Larry only studied the case when he went home. He said he'd just take copies of the documents home with him to read at night or weekends. Of course, sometimes you'd work the case during "work hours", but they really preferred you not to do that. I think that is what got Larry in trouble with his bosses. By going to the media about it, it brought in more leads which meant A) Seattle Office had to answer more calls from people, and 2) that Larry would have to spend more actual "company time" working the case. Larry didn't throw the current guy under the bus on the interview, but privately he said he doubts the current case agent has done any substantial work at all on this case. He said he'd be surprised if the current agent has even bothered to spend any time at all on the Gryder chute since it was retrieved last year. Current case agent apparently has a large sized role in something involving Asian gangs in Seattle.
