That is Georger's nuclear approach for expressing frustration over the lack of progress of the evidence... But Elvis has no legal argument to get the tie.. the only way is through diplomacy.. Suing the FBI will only piss them off and may induce an IRS audit.. Everybody knows that superior new DNA tech is the only potential to find evidence to put a suspect on the plane,, but even that may not be possible now. Ulis makes the false claim that Cooper wore the tie for years,, that is an assumption. He may have only worn it for the hijacking. I actually have a different plan to get access to the tie DNA but that takes more time..

Black and white images don't show complexion very well.. that was one of reasons they redid the Cooper sketch.. to add colour.
-
Ruddy is "reddish".. Swarthy is dark but Olive is a subset of Swarthy, can be light brown to dark brown, with green/yellow tones

FBI part #79 up.. Lots of useless pages and a bunch of suspects named.. https://vault.fbi.gov/D-B-Cooper /d.b.cooper-part-79/view

July 1970 has Portland and 305.. https://northwestairlineshistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/NW-schedule-1970-07-01.pdf

He drove 8 hours to St.Louis.. sounds odd..
-
Was St Louis the closest Airport to where he was living at the time?

Found a NWA System Timetable dated October 1, 1971 and it uses the later (1973) format.. not the 1970 format. Hard to read but it does show flight 305 is a 727 and lists Portland to Seattle.
-
Found something.. In the 1970 System Timetable... but in the 1973 System Timetable.. So, the format changed between 1970 and 1973... but both indicate a 727 for flight 305
-
Yes, but the "System Timetable" was nationally available whereas the regular one was local. In other words,, if Cooper was in say Philadelphia, Boston or New York City he could pick up a "System Timetable" showing a 727 for flight 305. It means that Cooper could have known flight 305 used a 727 from any NWA serviced airport.
-
That is what I thought, the "System Timetable" has it,, the regular local timetable does not. So, how prevalent was the system timetable.. in other words, the system timetable was available nationwide but the regular one was local.
-
Where was that from, was it readily accessible.. the regular timetable doesn't show the plane.
-
The dialogue in the Himmelsbach book seems made up... It may be true that Cooper asked if it was a 727 but we don't have a primary source. Lysne's 302 doesn't say it.. is there another unreleased Lysne 302?? If he didn't ask, then how did he know it was a 727.. Did he do a dry run.. or was the type of plane publicized somewhere back then..
-
I found it in Himmelsbach's book... GG probably got it from there... It isn't in the Lysne's FBI 302.. not sure if this is accurate or a manufactured narrative.
-
Slightly OT,, this was in Gray's book but is there an original source.. it isn't in Lysne's 302.
-
Probably random.. getting back to a job is possible but he would have been recorded missing from his job on the 24th, Getting back to the family doesn't make sense because he would be missing for T-DAY.. so unlikely he had to get back to a family. Anything is possible but IMO most likely,, a random day. More interesting is why choose the end of November, the PNW weather and temps are not good for a jump and ground escape. If he lands safe he is going to be wet, cold and dirty... My theory, his original plan was to jump further South.
-
I wasn't here when Carr was posting, but if you read the 302's that path was used by and accepted by the FBI.. A copy of that map and path was used by the search centre, it is on the wall. To claim it was not used and accepted by the FBI is lunacy.
-
Credentialism is a common fallacy... Everybody knows the FBI didn't make the map, we got it from the FBI and is accepted by them as the path.. You know the evidence, it has been discussed to death, if not search. The WFP has been beaten to death and there is no evidence for it..
-
No, it is rejected because there is no evidence,, the evidence supports the so called "FBI" path.
-
The FBI would have ruled him out based on his size,, they did look at people who didn't quite match Cooper's profile if they had some other significant characteristic.. for example, a blue eyed expert jumper.

Too small, 5' 6" and 140 lbs

Passenger Jack Almstad.. Interview in 3 parts.. He said he was seated one row behind the hijacker,, perhaps the guy he thought was the hijacker was actually another passenger, he didn't know there was a hijacking. He said a guy ("I think it was a man") "came down the aisle with a white sack and to me it looked like a pillow slip and it had these jagged points in it and I remember the thought I had was what looks like bricks in it or a bag of money, I thought.." Bricks are consistent with bundles..
