FBI Cooper file #54 up https://vault.fbi.gov/D-B-Cooper /d.b.-cooper-part-54-of-54/view

I have put Blevins on IGNORE,, nothing worth reading. I have been working on a NEW TBAR theory.. but some loose ends.. Trip 1 - Tina gets money Cooper inspects it, passengers deplane Trip 2 - Tina gets 1st back chute Trip 3 - Tina gets 2 front reserves Trip 4 - Tina gets 2nd back chute Trip 5 - Tina gets meals, maps, radio Stews leave after all chutes onboard. Taken by car, not fuel truck. I remember a fuel truck mentioned but can't find it. There were four fuel trucks. All passengers boarding in Portland used rear stairs. Per FBI...There were 36 passengers including Dan Cooper 6 crew 17 boarded at Portland (20 were listed/booked but 3 actually boarded on standby in Spokane) The confusion was that MacPherson had booked for Portland but had boarded standby in Spokane. The NWA flight manifest has Scott MacPherson twice, not a big deal. There were 36 passengers, 17 boarded in Portland. "It is noted that the manifest showing the boarding of Portland passengers, listed a total of 20, which included three names "W. MacPHERSON." Interview with Mr. WILLIAM R. MacPHERSON reveals that he is in the real estate business and had confirmed space from Portland to Seattle, but that he, his son SCOTT, and Mr. PAUL WEITZEL, actually boarded the flight at Spokane, where they had been on standby." "SAs HORN and FUHRIMAN then identified themselves to the passengers of the bus. SAs HORN and FUHRIMAN then determined that there were 35 passengers on the bus plus the driver," Final speculation,,, according to the crew a "passenger" tried to return into the plane as the passengers were leaving. Maybe that was an FBI agent carrying a 5th chute onto the plane.. that would resolve Tina getting the 4 chutes and money... the conflict for the chute packing card found left on the plane AND some passengers claiming to see an agent on the plane. Just a thought.

The matchbook thing is drifting into the weeds... When we put together the FBI files, Tina's interview and Tosaw's claim.. There were two matchbooks, Tina lit the last match from Cooper's matchbook and grabbed one from the plane. Sky Chef was the Airline caterer.. Tosaw claimed Tina described the first matchbook as the ICS one. Agents have admitted to withholding info. I can see the FBI holding back the ICS info, only Cooper would have known this. The take away is.. though not explicitly stated.. the Sky Chef matchbook most likely came from the plane, not from Cooper. Trying to match Cooper to an external Sky Chef source looks like a red herring. Not so important.. The FBI doc inferred that a matchbook was used for notes at some point. Obviously, it had to be something very brief and it wasn't his demands. But I don't see this as helping advance anything. It is interesting but not useful now. Perhaps more info will come out that makes it clearer.. we only have a fraction of the FBI files and are trying to makes sense of things with what we have.

Matchbook.. The reason he wanted to retain it was because he had written notes on it, not necessarily because of prints. The thought has been the tie was a plant because Cooper was careful to take other items, but if the matchbook was taken because of the writing then the tie "plant" theory is busted. Convey also means communicate. It is more likely notes were written on the matchbook than the matchbook was used to "transport" notes. Using a matchbook to "transport" notes doesn't make much sense. and there is no indication Cooper himself wrote the note on the matchbook.. I never said that. I believe the FBI passage indicates that the matchbook was used for "communication"... not transport

Cooper's matchbook was the ICS one and according to Tosaw after it was depleted, Tina grabbed the other "Sky Chef" one from a cabinet.. Chasing the source for the Sky Chef matchbook is a red herring.

Another Cooper myth busted... the money couldn't be moved by natural means... I found a natural mechanism to move the money from the "FBI" flightpath to TBAR. and it was in Spring, matching the diatoms.

I found that NORJAK era 727's had compass heading on the Flight Data Recorder. Northwest 727's used the Fairchild Model 5424.. I can't confirm NORJAK had that model. However, the 5424 FDR recorded compass heading. NORJAK's FDR was analyzed by Boeing. The compass heading is not the path.. but a divergence from a path can be determined. edit,, point is a substantial variation from the path would be determined

What if… The pilots claimed a passenger tried to get back on the plane,, but pushed him off.. If that was not a passenger but an FBI agent trying to sneak on as passengers were leaving, then that may have been the person Finegold saw.. That may pull it all together..

CBS Evening news piece on TBAR money find Feb 13 1980... at 18:25 Feb 12 1980.. (is he saying B D Cooper) act now and you can get one of those fancy Mercury XR-7's..

Here it is... DFS346 posted... on Shutter's site that a passenger indicated the FBI came on the plane with chutes and money,,, That didn't happen according to the FBI's official narrative.. Tina went out and got the chutes and money, making several trips. However, another passenger Larry Finegold (above) did make the claim that an FBI agent came on the plane but he later changed his story.. So, we have a conflict. Either the witness is a fraud or he has confirmed Larry Finegold's first claim and he has revealed info that has been covered up by the FBI (and witnesses) with a false narrative.. both alternatives are concerning.

I studied the comics extensively and the author was in the Pacific Northwest mid sixties and Florida late sixties. He would explore an area take pics and use them for his stories. He was well connected in military/aviation circles.. I also found that the comic was published in Mexico for Latin America in Spanish.. the French only thing was wrong. There is a vector between Hahneman and the publisher Herge. The IGY.. Ultimately, I believe the Cooper comic was probably an interesting coincidence, unless more evidence is found.

Perfect, I found Mount Rainier is in a Dan Cooper comic book,,,, from Lake Tipsoo Crazy right... Cooper comic on right..

there are two footnotes,, each looks to have a matching initial.. One looks like "Mg" possibly Tom Manning the other looks looks an "F" possibly Charlie Farrell Those are guesses..

In another interview he said all three,, what isn't clear is if only two or all three were together or at the same place. My guess is he misspoke and said two. But, the fact is that Tina was interviewed for the first sketch.

All three stews were interviewed for the sketch,, Rose told others all three were interviewed and it is in the FBI files. He stated 2 were at the same time and place.. (he may have misspoken) The second sketch "B" is documented in the FBI files as having input from all witnesses and it was the best one.

The Roy Rose quote came from his interview. https://youtu.be/1rS68OepZ1A?t=156

I have presented enough evidence you have repeatedly ignored it... of course I have much more..

I meant you are flailing when it comes to Hahneman, He is the best suspect... KC and others are not even on the same level. This about the 6th time you have repeated the same error... I am not interested in correcting you any longer..

Sure, he got the idea from his experience in Vietnam,, well before Norjak. He wasn't a copycat, that false label is why he has flown under the radar.. Nobody was charged for NORJAK, by your logic, nobody did it. You are flailing and losing here because you are changing the argument.. Hahneman IS the best suspect by far.. you are essentially trying to argue a strawman that it isn't proven 100% which is true without DNA, but that is true for all. If I could put him on the plane 100%, he wouldn't be a SUSPECT would he. How many people claimed to be Cooper or claimed they knew Cooper... hundreds.. maybe a thousand.. Hahneman never claimed to be Cooper and nobody who knew him claimed he was,, that is a plus. He was a loner who was staying in Hotels, not in Pa with his family. If he wasn't talking, there would have been no way to find an alibi. The FBI claimed for some reason that he returned from Vietnam in January 72, that was 100% false.

The FBI is still looking for cigarette butts that they destroyed in Reno.. all those whitebread suspects were eliminated. The second sketch "B" was done in colour to reflect the complexion and other slight adjustment.. Sketch "B" is the closest to Cooper, "A" was poor. That sketch "A" out there for a year was misleading and imprinted a poor image on investigators, witnesses and the public. Larry Carr said that they would look at the totality of evidence for a suspect, if one element was weak but others strong they didn't eliminate automatically. McCoy became compelling for many because he had some strong elements but he had some very weak ones.. Nearly all the witnesses agreed Cooper was olive, swarthy, Latin/Mexican etc.. in both complexion and APPEARANCE.. none said he had a tan, (in late November). For Hahenman, no witness said tan.. his UNSUB sketch was a resemblance, not perfect. It doesn't even look like at all like some of his pics. His height was described by witnesses from 5' 8" - 6' like Cooper. At this time, almost 50 years later I doubt a witness could ID with anywhere close to 100% certainty. You could probably get a NO to a maybe. The FBI said the witness memories were fading back in the mid 70's. I think back to profs I had in University and I doubt I could ID them in pics, no way near 100%.. and I knew them for an entire semester. For Hahneman, a witness actually ID'd the wrong guy from pics... IMO, the only way to get to 100% is with DNA.. and that is out of our control. The best we can get to is a "public" solution.. that may induce an attempt at DNA.. and Hahneman matches Cooper better than any high profile suspect by a long long shot.. He just ticks far more boxes. I don't recall KC hijacking a 727 for ransom wearing a dark suit, overcoat, white shirt and skinny tie, brown shoes and sunglasses, threatening to blow up the plane with a briefcase bomb then jumping out intentionally at night over a jungle with a military chute..

Everybody has ignored the olive, swarthy, Latin/Mexican description, that eliminates virtually all the prominent suspects, there is also the lips.. Lips were thin and the lower lip sort of protruded.. (matches Hahneman) Cooper sketch artist, Stew’s described Cooper as…. Roy Rose... "middled aged person dressed in a suit, with a dark complexion and sort of a protruding lower lip, the rest of his face was rather nondescript, nothing unusual about it." initial description,, and thin lips.. just noticed,, sagging cheeks

There are few still images of him leaving court, black and white. I found a short video clip with voice of a guy in Vietnam that I believe is Hahneman.. I have matched images and several unique physical features including ears to get about 99% certainty.. I have tried everything but can't get to 100% confirmation. Here is the kicker, the guy is a radio operator for Airlift Command which controlled all airdrops in South Vietnam from 1966..

You need to understand the use of words at the time, not today. Latinos back then were called white.. Witnesses for Hahneman's hijacking also described him as white, olive, spanish, latin American, swarthy. His military records say race > White, there was no option for "latin" only "other" Widespread use of "Latino" only and dropping the white caught on a few years after NORJAK.

The tan thing doesn't fly, no witness said a tan.. it was November. They said Latin/Mexican/Indian appearance, features, descent and blood.. that isn't just a swarthy complexion. It is all through the FBI files, not some one off reference.
