  1. Yes, the legal standard is higher than a clinical one..
  2. Sketch A is garbage and should be ignored, if your suspect looks like sketch A he can be eliminated, sketch B is better. The descriptions by witnesses are more important than the sketches themselves. The image I have from a witness does show a wider nose.. Problem is the sketches are front only giving one flat perspective. One stew said she never saw Cooper's front angle.. most witnesses saw the side profile-3/4 view.. The FBI discussed doing a profile sketch but one has never been released.
  3. Most hijackers had a mental illness..
  4. Don't really have high hopes for this thing... Slight chance we learn something new.. https://www.oregonlive.com/entertainment/2022/07/the-unsolved-case-of-skyjacker-db-cooper-is-explored-again-in-new-netflix-documentary-series.html
  5. Was the Heisson store specifically mentioned because it wasn't in the 302.. only the general area was mentioned. It wasn't named in the 302 we have..
  6. Fragile,, glass like. They were found on an inside bill deeper in.. from the edge. The theory is they were introduced when the money was first exposed to the water as the money got wet fanned out and sank. The packets became solidified in the sand with the diatoms effectively sealed within. Diatoms are too fragile to go through the sand to the money. So, the spring/summer diatoms and lack of winter diatoms indicates that the money was first introduced to the Columbia River in a spring/summer from '72 to '79.... an obvious delay from the date of the hijacking. Now, there are many scenarios that one can come up with from there..
  7. Mucklow - Schafner sketch was done in Minneapolis by Roy Rose at NWA headquarters... he did not do the first sketch.
  8. McCoy was not Cooper.... for many reasons.
  9. It doesn't matter, they DID redact Northwest Airlines comms not related to 305... Those would not fall under a FOIA...
  10. Teletype log redactions were exclusions of non Flight 305 Northwest Airlines traffic.. The redactions were not hiding anything. In 1976, Flo believed she could not ID Cooper from photos.
  11. I agree, in denominations of $20's the money would just fit tight in an average sized knapsack,, By asking for it in a knapsack Cooper had it figured out that the authorities were to make it fit. No smaller than $20's.. if all 20's didn't fit they could have used some larger bills,, but since they ignored Cooper's demand (probably intentionally) we'll never know.
  12. MONEY IN THE BAG WEIGHED NINETEEN POUNDS AND THE CONTENTS MEASURED ELEVEN INCHES BY TWELVE INCHES BY SIX AND ONE HALF INCHES.” p 2026 That sounds like it would fit in a knapsack (20's), aka small backpack,,, but not smaller bills.
  13. The Bellingham Herald article Nov 1987 (mentioned on Shutters site) Tina says Cooper had tobacco stained teeth.. this has never been mentioned before.. however, if you read the entire article there are many gross errors.. So, is it legit... maybe, maybe not.. Based on the other obvious gross errors in the article, I don't give it much credit without some other confirmation.
  14. Don't know the size,, but I found that a knapsack is a small backpack with two straps... though it doesn't have to be worn on the back..
  15. Internet seems to say no.. https://radaris.com/~Harold-Williams/1569626474
  16. Lidar was done.. https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inport/item/49920
  17. Yes, according to Tina's Rolling Stone interview her father was an electrician. No inferences but it might be interesting to find out where he worked.
  18. The media has an insatiable demand for commodifying cheaply acquired content.. the truth is irrelevent.
  19. I know.. They had no maps going south. I read somewhere in the FBI docs about maps for Medford.. So, the maps they requested were for the trip south. The plane route was never intended to go south of Portland, so they didn't have the maps.
  20. Yes, the passenger piece is the booklet in the folder,, the desk and gate rip out their pages.. That means it was unlikely Cooper even touched the gate ticket portion they have..
  21. On the tickets.. They were not signed by the passenger.. Cooper's ticket was :773 and Mitchell's :778, only 5 tickets later. They both appear to have been written by the same agent. Cooper's ticket is likely retained by the gate clerk.. "Flight Coupon No. 1" The top original is retained by the issuing agent. Mitchell's is the "Passenger's Coupon" retained by the passenger. Mitchell paid a student fare. Both are carbon copies ripped from the book, not the top original. There were no prints of value found on Cooper's ticket.. it was probably removed from the book by the gate agent. Mitchell's ticket still has the book edging attached.
  22. Tom has the similar tie and is still working on it.. There are so many particles and combinations it renders them almost useless.. The takeaway is the fact that there are so many...
  23. Not necessarily an alloy.. could be a coated particle.
  24. I sent Tom Kaye a mid sixties Pennys tie as a control, made with the same Dacron Polyester material for testing.. some of the particles are used in fire retardants, fabric dyes and in the manufacture process of Dacron Polyester. It is dark blue though and not black...
  25. The spreadsheets are bit tricky at first, Particles are listed for stubs, they are listed by the primary ingredient then the other ingredients are listed and then broken down by percentages. With 100,000 + particles you get a massive number of combinations.. almost unusable. Ulis claimed the very very few particles of Ti SB are unique to one patent and plant, they aren't. The theory is good but the attribution is incorrect. IMO, with so many combinations you can find almost any combination and those combinations aren't necessarily alloys. The trick is to pick out a unique, rare or pure one.. and track it down.. but there are so many sources known and unknown, it is impossible to be definite. A few other problems.. We don't even know if Cooper was wearing the tie when some or all the particles were deposited. Safe to say Cooper left the tie but some particles may be pre Cooper or post Cooper. and the particles may not be from the source,,, but downstream exposure.. Like a mustard stain doesn't mean he worked in a mustard factory.
