The fire isn't the key point.. The point was PALM prints were rarely taken back then. So, obtaining a suspect's palm print is very challenging.
-
Too much misinformation and bad ideas.. No, Cooper did not demand nonstop to Mexico City... He demanded no stopping in US for any reason can refuel anywhere in Mexico. He gave no instructions for path and did not know the route the plane was flying to Reno.. He DID NOT jump at BG. The plane could have been anywhere along a 100+ mile wide line crossing near the Oregon border. From Mt Hood to over the Ocean... Cooper did not target PDX.
-
NO, I never said he wiped his prints off everything.. you are making it up. I said he might have used the tie to wipe prints because many were smeared or partial.. They have some unidentified partials and a palm print from the seat area, those might not even be Cooper's.. it would seem he did obscure his prints in some way. They also have unidentified prints from letters.
-
How do you know they won't release the unidentified prints? They have released identified prints in the files,, We don't need the FBI to do anything other than release the prints.
-
About 75% of the military records were lost in the fire but I was focussed on the palm prints.. rare to have them taken back then.
-
Not necessarily... NCIC is not needed at all..
-
No, prints aren't useless,, challenging but not useless.
-
Not exactly, it wasn't standard for LEO's until years later. So, most "suspects" won't have palm prints on file but may have fingerprints. The FBI didn't have a palm print database until 2013, other agencies earlier, California 2004. In the 70's it was not yet standard to take palm prints, they were only taken for special circumstances. It would be rare to have a suspect's palm print from that era.
-
I forgot about the hair slide,, it is gone. Finding money is real long shot.. IMO, the best hope is those prints but most people did not have palm prints taken back then.
-
um no,, The FBI has the full transcript and we have a slightly edited one. The few redactions are not NORJAK related they claim.. having the audio would be interesting and could confirm those redactions but won't solve the case.
-
I see a bigger issue bubbling up... What is a solve in this case now? The DNA is a dead end.. The tie left by Cooper might not have been worn by him when the particles were deposited. OR, a vaguely matched environment. Cooper is most certainly dead by now so no prosecution. The only way left to put a suspect on the plane is the finger/palm prints, a match is a defacto solve. However, that may be impossible, the prints might not be Cooper or Cooper may not have prints available to match. That leaves a circumstantial case, always a problem and can be dismissed with doubt. I am still holding out hope for the prints.. but that isn't a guarantee. Without that I can't see a 100% solve.

I was indifferent to the Cini connection... but always rejected the 12 day time frame argument against.. of course it is possible.. but when I found evidence that this was discussed in Vietnam well before Cini it confirmed that the idea was not exclusive to Cini and a rather obvious progression of thought..
-
Weren't all or almost all hijackers suffering from mental issues...
-
He is irrelevant. He wasn't Cooper. In many ways he was incompetent and lucky he wasn't killed.. Cooper was much more competent/experienced than Mac but less than Braden. To claim Cooper would do what Mac did is an irrational argument.
-
I know juggling knives is dangerous but have never done it. Mac is irrelevant. Breaking news,, He was NOT Cooper.. Objectively, a competent military guy with aviation and jump experience does not require more than 12 days.. Do you think Braden would need more than 12 days? I am not arguing Cooper did plan it in 12 days, I am arguing he could have. Cini was not the starting point. I have ruled it out. The argument to reject Cini as inspiration because 12 days is too short to plan is just bogus.. You don't need to have hijacked and jumped from a plane to figure that out.
-
I said objectively,, there is no reason for it to take more than the 12 days.. You have made up a nonsense argument to fit your opinion. The difference is you are claiming he couldn't plan it in 12 days.. I am saying there is nothing to show that he couldn't.
-
The primary goal of a suspect sketch is to generate leads... it is not specific enough alone to eliminate suspects. The FBI wanted to get better leads as they were wasting time on the poor leads generated by sketch A. That is why they did sketch B.
-
Mac had no aviation or parachuting experience,, A competent military guy with aviation and some parachute experience could pull it together.. Mac was not that guy.. using him as an argument is just bogus. It is even easier from a distance to reject it based on irrelevant arguments. I see no reason to believe it had to take more than 12 days to plan.. I also know for a fact that others had the idea before Cini..
-
Cooper had military and some jump experience, he could have planned it within days. Mac is not a good example. As for PTSD, there is nothing to show one way or another if Cooper had it.
-
Objectively, it could be planned within 12 days but there is no evidence for a connection.. and unlikely a copycat would pull it off so close in time and geography. I have evidence that it was being discussed in Vietnam in the late 60's.. I am sure others had the idea as well... before Cini. Combining parachuting with hijacking is a natural progression. The news was not as ubiquitous as today, some Cini articles didn't even mention a parachute others barely did. Later articles emphasized the parachute more. If a drunk Cini could figure it out... many could have.
-
Nope.
-
It is quite simple, Cini was not the only one to come up with the idea.. The idea existed well before Cini tried it.
-
There is no evidence whatsoever.. Cini's hijacking was a disaster.. The idea of a "ransom" parachute escape existed well before Cini. FACT. classic... POST HOC ERGO PROMPTER HOC
-
The 8:11 time has been overwhelmed by people moving the jump zone further south... Cooper jumped about 8:11. You gave it your best shot but the Western Flight path has not panned out, it is based on your own assumptions. The evidence supports the "FBI" accepted path.
-
Cooper was not a Cini copycat. Cooper did not land in the Columbia, he jumped about 8:11 within the half mile error along the so called "FBI" accepted flight path.
