Emerick gave two reserves to the highway patrol. Emerick was alone. documented. Hayden provided two chutes via taxi cab... where is the third vehicle delivering other chutes? Hayden was alone I suspect. Hayden stated he had a 26' canopy and a 28'. he got back the 28' foot but the document below states Cooper has a 28' canopy and a reserve marked with "NormD" with a white canopy as the dummy chute suggests. no mention of an X on the canopy. this is called a conflict? You watch "In Search Of" and Cossey himself claims Cooper has a 28' canopy in a military container with a ripcord being hard to find? not a 26'. we have a 26' and 28' canopy that Cooper took with him..you can't have 2. that's a huge conflict?

when you have conflicting reports...nothing can be overwhelming...

Let me rephrase it...the evidence logged was obtained from the case, not just the plane. "physical evidence" not just what was on the plane. they are lettered A-F...one chute is not lettered. how or why it's there is uncertain but it appears not to be labeled as "physical evidence"

according to 377 a 24' canopy is not typically found in a NB6 or NB8. they are found in reserve chutes as I suspected earlier....

Everything is lettered that was obtained from the plane. the page before the one above starts with "A" being the cigarette butts. the chute in question doesn't have a letter beside it representing evidence even though it states it was found on the plane. one would tend to believe it should be marked as "F" and the last chute (reserve opened) should be labeled "G" if this was the actual evidence found on the plane.

possibly....a parachute was found on the banks of the river in 2001. the description was given of the chutes Cooper had to compare with the chute found.

As I mentioned before in the document I posted. the evidence is clearly marked with a letter. that chute is not and appears to describe a front chute. something is wrong somewhere but I don't think it's extra chutes. I have another document that states Cooper has a 28 foot chute NB6. then they list a front chute 24' white with "NORM D" inscribed on the front. this was in reference to a chute found in 2001.

Has anyone asked the skydivers if the NB6 would have a 24' round in it? 24' sound like a front chute.. The problem I see with the document I posted is one chute is not lettered as evidence. it's basically showing 3 chutes on the plane but only two listed as evidence..

As I mentioned on TMN. the 302 could be wrong. most of the info matches except they state 24 foot in length not diameter and the model being 1960...

Cossey packed all four chutes. he could be laying claim that way. many people do this. store manger will say "my store" cops will ask you " what are you doing in my town" etc. neither owns the store or the town...

None of this belongs here...just more drama.

I stand fully behind my statement and will now return to a place where one doesn't have to constantly engage in drama. I'm researching the DB Cooper case. I do this as a hobby. I'm not looking for fortune or fame. I'm looking for answers to a decades old mystery. this creates a road block into that avenue.

I appreciate your comments. however, you are incorrect about me being impatient about the photo's. Mr. Blevins posted that the event was cancelled. that's when I made a comment that the ground view would benefit the case. Robert then replied he might go later in the year. Eric chimed in saying he would go in two weeks and try and get the photo's he wanted as well. I didn't ask anyone to go in the first place. I only suggested pics would be a benefit. Eric already has a plan in place. it doesn't require petty trespassing. Some of us choose not to work with certain people due to strong negative behavior that reached out far beyond the internet. most I'm sure you are not aware of in which I would gladly show you offline if required. In my view. the damage can not be repaired. it is what it is. If not mistaken, I don't want to speak for Eric, but I believe he has a purpose for being in the area. that's why he decided to go. Roberts main goal appears to be searching the area. Eric's goal is pictures and might need them before that time. the bottom line was. nobody was going to the location when I first posted. now, it appears only one is allowed?

Then you shouldn't of asked me to begin with?

Robert, I'm sorry, but I don't watch any of your video's anymore. haven't for a long time. I have no interest in believing anything can be found around the placard. you can look but I'm sure nothing will be found. hunters are in the area constantly. if they found a tiny card. the odds would of been greater finding larger objects. R99 believes Cooper was a no pull on Caterpillar island. I disagree with that as well and feel looking there would be pointless since thousands have been on that island after 1971. If you are that thirsty for people to join. try the local avenues..newspaper, television. tell them what you are doing. they eat that stuff up..

You made a long post discussing other members. even though you didn't use names. it still doesn't belong here per the admins post recently. I simply pointed this out just as you did to Derek several times about spamming and multiple posts. what happens on other forums are no concern to this forum. unless it has to do with the case. that's the rules Meso set. not me. it's a DB Cooper forum. if you have an issue with that board. I suggest you take it up with them vs posting the problem here. it's pretty simple.

Nope, simply pointing out that you are violating the rules set here. 2-3 paragraphs worth.

Actually, you and Derek fail to post under the rules the admin. has given. and failing to "ignore" things as well that don't belong here. "You're welcome to discuss the case here, but posts that are not related to the case and merely address other users are not what this thread is for, and we will start handing out more warnings to posts that violate this approach."

It's done.....move on...

Actually, you posted that it was cancelled due to the lack of interest in Cooper fans and no one wanting to go. it was unanimous that they wanted to go to Oregon? I seen that post dated just last nite and I said it would be a benefit to the case to get pics from the ground. you replied saying maybe later this year. then Eric posted he was going to do it and it became my fault you wasted time on this today? I mentioned early into this that it really had nothing to do with you. and it had nothing to do with me either. Eric responded to my post. It's DONE....

I think the dart might have better odds. the only thing the placard shows is it's under the airway 305 was on. and it was found against the wind. the location itself is in question since 7 years passed before it was found. nothing proving it's been there that long. the path isn't exact on the map so that makes things even more difficult. what if it drifted miles over the 7 years, nobody knows. Yes, lots of variables.

common sense? the chute weighs how many times more than the placard. so how could it end up in the same location. if it tumbled as R99 believes. it floated miles from where the chute or briefcase would land. I doubt he threw them out together. just 5 seconds would be a large distance between the objects.

Robert, you just said two comments ago that we were done. I'm playing no games. I read your post of cancellation. then I posted that pics would be good to have from the ground. Eric pops on and says he's going there. he "encouraged" himself.

I wasted nobodies time. Eric brought this up, not me. you cancelled the thing. that's what made me post. don't blame it on me pal. "This trip has been CANCELLED, mostly due to lack of interest from Cooper fans"

Good, so we are done... Thanks again for all your concern
