It is a 26' stuffed into a 24' container...
-
Always possible but then she would have gotten two things wrong.. The wrong stew and Flo said she returned for her purse as she was leaving the plane,, Tina said she asked if they could leave after she got her purse.. IMO, something is being covered up with an inconsistent narrative... I believe Cooper offered them all ransom money and they made the excuse that it was tip money... Tina used the no tip policy to claim she returned it. We don't know if they took any or not.. but their story doesn't add up. Cooper has 200 k and offers them $19 tip money to split 3 ways AFTER Tina told him they don't accept tips due to company policy.. no way, there is something else going on.

Flo stuffed Cooper's note in her purse. Flo grabbed a pen from her purse when she dictated the note for Cooper. When Flo was leaving she had forgotten her purse and went back for it. Alice also left her purse in the back near Cooper.. There is no mention of Tina's purse and odd that Alice's purse was in the back when it wasn't her section.. It is also strange that Alice got her purse from the back then turned and left with Flo but Flo forgot her purse and had to return. but the purses were left next to Cooper and he had the opportunity to drop money in their purses.. Something isn't right between Tina asking for money, taking it then returning it claiming a no tip policy, later all the stews refusing the drink money tip $19 between them, about $6 each.. ridiculous... and Flo and Alice refusing ransom money according to some reports.. and the two purses left in the back with Cooper.

The packing card went with the chute to the WSHM...
-
Try what, they lost the hair.. there is no proof it is even Cooper's and if they did find it the FBI has no incentive to process it.. Cooper is dead by now if he survived the jump so the case is dead for them. My impression dealing with them is that they just want it to go away. IMO, the best shot at forensics is Hayden's parachute at the Museum.. still a long shot. Cooper reached into the tight pocket and removed the packing card,, the edge should have DNA.. only a few others since would have done that and you don't have to deal with the FBI.

Everyone needs to be reminded of this document... It sums up why this case is so difficult, in 1976, pre DNA. The only way to 100% solve this is having evidence beyond the FBI files or to find matching DNA.. Matching DNA may not even be possible. Current DNA is partial and mixed,, and may not even be from Cooper.. New DNA resting might be better but there is no guarantee. There are those that seem to think this case can be solved with the "Science".. that is extremely unlikely and may be impossible at this point.. Short of forensic evidence, all we have is competing theories. "hard physical evidence is extremely limited" "strength of eyewitness identification... was weak" "it would be extremely difficult to "make the case" if he was uncooperative"

What is your argument? Cooper... Was in the military but skipped knot training.. Was not in the military and.. Was rejected by Scouts due to his swarthy complexion, smoking and protruding lower lip not able to get his knot tying badge he developed a grudge. Unable to live with that grudge Cooper hijacked a plane to prove he did deserve that Scouts badge..
-
The bevel needs to be on the pin side.. front of tie
-
No, it is reason.. You learn knots in the military and there is evidence he had military experience. Tying a bag up and to yourself in a parachute jump is not easy..
-
Grey said the guy next to Kloepfer was drunk,, he could have been making it up so I wondered who it was..
-
Doubt it. He had to have a high level of confidence in his knots... or he would have demanded that knapsack..
-
who was seated next to Kloepfer
-
-
Gregory went to the lav 10 minutes before the announcement that there would be a landing delay for Seattle..
-
Is somebody going to present the updated parachute info at CooperCon?? I hope so..
-
Boy Scouts were trained in parachuting... I did not know that.
-
The knapsack,, Why didn't he demand one after he received the money.. He was confident in his skills for securing up the money bag.. that tells us something about Cooper. His confidence in securing the money overcame the riskier option of waiting for and receiving a knapsack. He wasn't some average guy, he had some skills. Those rope tying and survival skills are learned in the military.
-
One thing that has always bugged me.. The hijacker's first note and the one written by Flo,, were asked for and returned to him.. Later, the destination demand and plane configuration was conveyed through Tina.. it implies that was via the inter-phone only... So, Cooper tells Tina, she has to understand, she tells the cockpit and they have to understand... That demand could have been easily been miscommunicated going between the three parties, not exactly what Cooper actually wanted.
-
Welcome to the Vortex,, you can check out but you can never leave.. I always read that as MISS printed the rest written cursive. We don't even know if the text was accurate.. it was recall.. so we have a few versions. Cockpit note.. slightly different. Another version.
-
I found lots of images of radiosonde weather balloons,, the balloon is usually white and the recovery chute all orange but it is very small.. looks more like a toy.. But, maybe they changed over the years.. IDK
-
There are orange and white military chutes.. Another rejected by Cossey for being 24'..
-
There was a chute found in the South Fork Lewis between the Heisson Bridge and Lucia Falls,, about a mile from the Heisson store. Approx. 4-5 mile drift from the FP at 8:13.. The River has big floods.. The chute was never looked at because it was described as orange and white... Cossey claimed the chute was all white.. but his description was unreliable. Its proximity to Heisson store and FP make it interesting.. and railroad tracks follow the River there and go past Heisson store..
-
It is a 26' footer in a 24' container.
-
Beyond speculation we can't know why he chose one over the other... The BIG takeaway is that the FBI was looking for the wrong chute based on Cossey's false description.. There were many chutes found and rejected based on Cossey's description, one I think is particularly interesting is one found in the South Fork Lewis a mile from the Heisson store..
-
The card for Hayden's chute says 26' and was repacked twice after he got it back,, That card was originally written by Cossey. May 1971
