The claim is Reca or somebody that looked like him was picked up 4 miles East of Cle Elum that is about 1.5 miles from the Airport. Cowboy Jeff sounds sincere but there is no way he can know or prove some guy he picked up 40 years earlier was Reca.. even the Norjak witnesses's memories faded in a few years,, but the irony is that if he did pick up Reca that proves he was NOT Cooper. The plane did not fly East.
-
As a suspect Reca is a disaster, the worst higher profile suspect, he doesn't speak intelligently, sounds like he has a grade 8 education and he made so many errors that it eliminates him as Cooper. Anybody with a basic understanding of the case can understand that Reca was not Cooper.. there is no evidence, it is a story and it distracts from the case. What are the motives of the Reca pushers.. dupes or grifters or both?
-
No it isn't evidence.. He can't prove the guy he met in 71 was Reca.. he said it looked like him,,, 40 years earlier and even it was Reca he met it proves Reca was not Cooper... the plane went South not East. It proves nothing about the Cooper hijacking.
-
Cowboy Jeff's story even if accurate doesn't prove anything. I don't think you actually understand the term "eye witness"...
-
Why do you believe a serial liar? and ignore the evidence.
-
Reca lied,, prove me wrong..
-
Buried money found in amazing condition,,, dated 1934,, probably buried before 1950. Looks tied with string, not rubber bands.. and wrapped in cloth. So, why was TBAR so much more eroded?? tumbling along the river bottom,, bacteria??
-
I've heard the story,, you know there is no evidence, somebody is just telling a narrative with no proof. That isn't how this works.. stories aren't evidence, anybody can make up anything. Reca also told a story... riddled with errors. The rubber bands were too brittle to be re-buried... no way somebody could bury them in that condition. The sand on the money was Columbia River... Believe what you want,,, but there is NO evidence to support that re-burial narrative and there is evidence to refute it.
-
It is a made up story,,, there is no evidence to corroborate it. None.. The money was not re-buried.. the rubber bands were too brittle. This nonsense pollutes the case.
-
The Reca crowd was too lazy to make up something to explain TBAR so they just borrowed the Rackstraw TBAR narrative...
-
What you think is not important.. they crumbled to dust.. impossible to have been re-buried.. case closed.
-
The rubber bands crumbled when touched,,, when the money was picked up. The rubber bands were too brittle to be re-buried...
-
Wrong as usual Slim... The rubber bands were brittle and crumbled when touched... that proves the money was NOT just buried. The money had been there for some time..
-
OR,, Cooper gave the ride some cash.... ensuring it wouldn't be reported. I don't see any reason to believe Cooper would not break in to a store for supplies. It is common for fugitives.. that said no way we will know if was him or not.
-
Possible.. but not obvious. The Polaroid film is weird... the rest doesn't sound like teenagers.. no pop no candy or chips... Did they sell alcohol in Wa corner stores back then? IDK.. Polaroid cameras were kind of expensive then.. film was pricey too... not a teenager thing. Maybe he had a camera at home,, or it was an inventory error by the store. Polaroid cameras were used to make fake ID...
-
Still weird,, you could take other things for a fire...

You have the sighting of an out of place man walking West matching Cooper under the flightpath at about 8:10 on the map.. FDR detected a little bob at 8:09... Same night, 3.5 miles West on the same road you have a store break in... We can't prove they are connected but it fits better than a random robbery. That theft ring was taking stuff to sell... the store break in was personal.
-
The condition of the rubber bands makes that impossible.
-
The problem is.. if he makes it to Woodland at 11:15-30 PM what does he do then... the chances of being spotted are higher.. He needs to find a place to hide out for a while. I don't have a problem with him also doing the Hatfield attempted break in.. I have trouble with the man walking sighting at 11:30... that timing doesn't fit. It would have to be before 10:30..
-
updated map...
-
Route from the man walking sighting.. 12.9 miles 5 hour walk seems too far.. 20 min drive. Maybe he got a ride to Woodland.
-
Sometimes that is difficult to do.. Lewis R Rd and Fredrickson looking West... nowhere to go..
-
Found the family home circa 1961... red dot on map Don't have the exact address but found it on a parcel map with names. it is near NW 259th St and NW 24th Ave. Here... https://maps.app.goo.gl/8RCDodCDosXLFUmM8 If this was Cooper and the same person who was seen walking and did the robbery on Lewis R Rd then he would have had to cross the river at Woodland.. the road can lead to the Hatfield home. Ironically, he would have headed straight toward LaCenter. A fugitive might look to hide out in an empty rural property...
-
sure, but how to you get out of dodge in a rural area.. walk rail tracks or a road and the Lewis R road was the only way out of there. If there are no rail tracks, you have to take that road.
