Hi Farflung, I don't spend a lot of time talking about the size of someones penis, which you do. I do have a lot of experience which you can like or not, I really don't care. You are a clever writer but where is the substance??? Do you have any background in anything except writing scathing posts? If you have ever contributed anything to this other than your wit give me the post.Otherwise you are only intertaining to read.

Re MarkBennet Mrshutterr45 RobertMBlevins and a short note to Jo. Someone said last week that a new look and opinion on this old case would be a good thing. I agree. I think MarkBennet and Mrshutter45 and any other newbie can perhaps see something or give a different take on Cooper. Jo responded to one of my posts saying that she didn’t have time to update newbies on this crime. If I go back and read everything that has been posted here then I will be able to recite everything that so far has not solved this case. Like MarkBennet I’ve read some of the books written, I am mostly interested in what all agree happened before, during and after the flight. I understand how much some have invested in time and energy on their suspect of choice and are defensive. I am certain that the FBI has the ability to reject or confirm these suspects. I wish they would get on with it. When I was still working, a detective who began work on a cold case, sometimes 10 years old, would go back to the original crime report and make a list of what needed to be done. Then read the case file to see if all had been done or if there were errors or omissions. The FBI did on Cooper what had worked before and after on hijackings, it just didn’t work this time. I know if the agent could go back and redo the initial investigation he would, and I think may have found Coop. But 20/20 hindsight is a wonderful ability. So I’ll say it again, I respect all the knowledge on this site. I really appreciate the work done by Robert99 on the flight path. It opens a new possibility and maybe explains why Cooper avoided capture (if he survived the jump). God I wish I could write like farflung. I would have many clever things to say. But what do I know? rosebud

"you are truly a victim of the Cooper Curse..." I have heard the warnings and I am fearless. Seriously though you guys know that the FBI does not like you and would not like you to get the credit for solving this! Of course they monitor this site. Do you know which of the posters is the agent? Just curious. good night rosebud

Thanks, I now know what a whuffo is.

Mr. Blevins, I respect hyour research but if I walked into a market at that time and bought $200 worth of groceries with twentys, in one hour those 20s would be in the possession of many different people and no one would check. I don't think bank employees checked every 20 that went through their desk. If someone was found to be in possession of a large amount of money in 20's it would come to someones attention. Not one or a few 20's.

Thanks, I've read your analysis on Sluggos website. Taking into account the failure to find Cooper near Ariel and the money at Tina Bar I would think your analysis in part 7 should be taken seriously. I'll read the other info you have suggested.

The reason for recording the serial numbers is so you can prove in court that the money you have is the money that went to the crook and didn't come from grandma. If you spent the money in small amounts or exchanged it for bigger bills at the bank, a few hundred at a time it would go unnoticed.

No, I'll get it. rosebud

I’m impressed with all of the research and investigation that has gone into this case by the people here. I haven’t read every post that has been written so I may say something that has already been beaten to death. I have read the books written on the case. I have no Cooper suspect. All of the theories written about here are just that, theories, and those who are asking for some fact or documentation to prove the theory are correct. A fact to prove their theory in my opinion would be some of the money, a matching fingerprint, matching DNA or perhaps the parachute. Everything else is just talk. The FBI is no different than a room full of plumbers, some are good at what they do and some (most) are not. I do however believe that the FBI has information that they can use to exclude or confirm that a suspect is the guy we call Cooper. I’m sure that they have a box full of fingerprints from the plane, not enough to make an I.D. but enough to determine if a suspect was on that plane. The facts that we have, start with buying the ticket and end with Cooper leaving the plane. The finding of the money at Tina Bar is a clue that should really be looked at. 377 is correct in saying that no crook would bury 5800 bucks in the sand at Tina Bar. No theory I’ve read here makes any sense. The other conflicting information that is a puzzle is where the plane actually was when he left. Whether he knew anything about how to put on the parachute or how to get the thing to open is a subject interesting to read about from you jumpers, and may mean something or perhaps mean nothing. The Treasury shreds five million bills a day. The serial numbers mean nothing unless we find a guy with a pocket full of those twenties. The main question of course is where did he go? If he was over Ariel why didn’t all the manpower and searchers find some trace of him? I know, an accomplice has been voiced along with the problem of how they hooked up after the jump. I hope you don’t respond to this with red or blue letters. What is a Whuffo? rosebud

It looks like I'm missing all the fun. Like others I've been reading this site for awhile. I'm a retired cop, 30 years on a major P.D., 25 years a detective. 15 years Intelligence detective organized crime. Department Rep Federal Organized Crime Strike Force. Successful private investigator 11 years. Featured some years ago in a New York Times best seller non-fiction. I'm a licensed private pilot but don't fly much anymore. Never have and don't intend to jump out of my plane. I like MOST of you folks. It' late, time to go to bed. Yes I have opinions. Rosebud
