Ulis wants to be the one to solve the Cooper case, that in itself is not a problem as many of us sleuths want to be the one to solve it.. the problem with Ulis is that he has a track record of elevating conjecture and assumptions to fact then making unsubstantiated conclusions.. Researching Rem Cru is not a problem, making unproven or false claims as fact is. Eric has always done this whether intentional or not. The result is Ulis getting lots of media attention with bogus information and that undermines the credibility of Cooper case overall.. Most people who do not have a higher level knowledge of the case and of Ulis will get sucked into his narratives because he says them with confidence and in the media. His track record is a disaster.

Nothing wrong with pursuing a lead but Eric is manufacturing a fact which he is known to do.. Tom didn't reject Rem Cru, he rejected Eric's claim that it was 100% an alloy and it 100% came from Rem Cru... Tom said the particles may not even be an alloy... if so Eric's argument dies. In addition, if it is an alloy the ratios on the patent are a range that is not exclusive and there are other sources... Eric has assumed the particles are an alloy and assumed they only came from Rem Cru... the first is unproven and the second is false. Bottom line, those particles may or may not be an alloy and the ratios are not exclusive to Rem Cru.. Classic Ulis, he elevates assumptions to facts and makes false or unproven claims with a confidence that people just accept... Is Rem Cru a possibility for those particles, sure, but it isn't 100% as Eric claims, it is probably less than 1%.. Remember, Eric was 98% sure Sheridan Peterson was Cooper for years when all the other top tier Cooper sleuths had rejected Peterson.

Last I heard Tom rejected it.. he is not even convinced the titanium antimony particles are an alloy.

It is just Ulis's MO elevating an assumption to a fact and then claiming a conclusion.. he did with Sheridan Peterson and the media didn't learn. The claim that those tie particles only came from Rem Cru is complete BS.

Chaucer and Roberts both still fail to recognize that Rataczak said the call to Soderlind was in the suburbs of Portland.. that call was minutes after Cooper jumped and Soderlind was listening and taking notes which confirms the 8:10-12 estimated jump time.. Rataczak said he made the "mark your shrimp boat" transmission right away, the call to Soderlind was delayed.. the radio gap was before 8:13 so the transmission must have been prior. That indicates the jump zone timing was accurate.. Cooper did not jump over the Columbia River or south of it. The attempt to move the jump zone South to fit TBAR has no merit, no facts or evidence.. Logic and reason only work when you get the facts right.

Yes, they did know the identity and followed up considering the person a suspect checking prints and obtaining photos.. There is no indication who it was or what the FBI concluded.. You can follow it in the pages after FBI part 11 p 308..

Ulis should be embarrassed.... he is wrong...

KATU money find..

Lysne seemed to remember Cooper in 1989... https://www.upi.com/Archives/1989/07/01/Ex-ticket-vendor-says-List-not-DB-Cooper/2283615268800/

Un-redacted in the Gray files.. and also FBI part 72 p 44 (also repeated in two other parts)

Yikes, I have always said Ulis is a good salesman,, Cooper researcher not so much.

Sounds good except Roberts got the pilot wrong.. not Scott. Rataczak was the one hand flying the plane, Captain Scott took over right before Reno to land..

No. I didn't really, Eric did. The Penny's corporate logo appearing on the tie was updated and first introduced Nov 24, 1963.. It took some time for all products to get the new logo but there was also another change on the tie that indicates not before about spring 1964..

It is clear,, Rataczak acknowledged the flightpath map when he talked about hand flying the plane, so no Western Path.. Rataczak said Cooper jumped before last contact with Cooper at 8:05 and his delayed call to Soderlind which was in the suburbs of Portland. We know there was a delay between the bump/oscillation and the call to Soderlind. So, Cooper jumped well before the Columbia.. Soderlind took notes of the times as he was listening in live.. Soderlind noted when the bump/oscillation occurred. So, these people who are trying to move the jump zone or flightpath have nothing.. nada. Their only angle is to discredit Rataczak, Soderlind, the FBI, the chase pilots, the Air Force, NWA , the 305 pilots and the ATC ... with no evidence to back it up. Cooper jumped between the Lewis R and Battleground.. the highest probability is about 8:12 diminishing as you move North to the Lewis or South to Battleground. The flightpath is accurate within the 1 mile plotting error..

It is not limited to any patents.. but I have looked into Sprague for other reasons.. Sprague components were used in military applications.. Don't get trapped in the patents.. it is a red herring.

Several things are going on.. people have a confirmation bias, that is human nature and everyone has to watch for it.. and people are not interpreting the evidence correctly.. also, people will over reach for solutions to solve an unexplained difficult case. There is a massive amount of information to process.. These drive me crazy.. smart people still get them wrong. Cooper's initial demand was airstairs lowered in flight.. NOT DOWN. Airstairs down came later after negotiations and Reno was in play. His initial plan was not to jump ASAP.. his plan changed. Ratazcak was hand flying the plane.. he said so.. and he acknowledged his path on the "FBI" map. NO WESTERN FLIGHTPATH. and the Columbia River jump is debunked.. the call to Soderlind was in the suburbs before Portland and Soderlind took notes live... Cooper jumped around the 8:12 time.. Cooper was described as having latin features and complexion, that does not mean he wasn't also white or Caucasian. People incorrectly believe he can't be both,,, Latin Americans and Spanish were described as white or caucasian back then.. Latino became an official descriptor after NORJAK.. Cooper was not wearing a disguise. Cooper had dark eyes. Cooper did not fake smoking. Cooper was described as having latin features and complexion, NOT A TAN. Cooper did not know where the plane would be when he did jump. Dynamite did come in red. Cooper did not write on his ticket. The crew was not in on it. The FBI does not know if the unidentified prints are Cooper's. REMCRU patent was not the only source for TiSb in the ratio found on the tie. NOBODY plants or buries money at the River's high water line. Tina is being deceptive. The tie was not sold before spring 1964.. roughly between Spring 64 - Spring 65. The FBI was looking for the wrong back parachute. Cooper appeared to be 45-50. He was not 28. Several witnesses admitted that their memories were fading years after the hijacking. In '76 the FBI admitted that the witnesses were unreliable and only Cooper confessing would bring a prosecution. The cigarette butts were destroyed after testing within weeks of the hijacking. The hair sample was lost/misplaced. Oddly, Sketch A was mostly Tina who later claimed she didn't see Cooper face straight on.. Sketch B was a multi image process based on KK5-1 and input from all witnesses. They generally agreed on the final sketch B as the best likeness for Cooper. The Hick's placard was not from inside NORJAK, it could have fallen off the outside of any passing 727. The 8x40" part claimed to have been found in the woods was not from NORJAK.

Chaucer stated on Reddit.. Bill Rataczak stated to the FBI just hours after the hijacking that “they had definitely not reached Portland proper but were in the suburbs or immediate vicinity thereof” when the jump occurred. Combine this with Soderlind’s statement about them seeing the lights of Portland, you get a jump near the Columbia IMO This is 100% false and shows why the Columbia River landing BS won't die.... Ratazcak was giving a range between last contact with Cooper at 8:05 and the call to Solderlind in the suburbs of Portland.. So, Ratazcak was referring to the call to Solderlind in the suburbs of Portland and we know Cooper jumped minutes before that.. It is evidence that Cooper could not have jumped over the Columbia but Chaucer and others have misread the evidence and use a false premise to create a false conclusion... Chaucer and others have flipped the evidence backasswards to fit their Columbia River confirmation bias.. This is a very important point to get right.

It would explain the money being stashed for some time before going into the Columbia.. either by Cooper or perhaps lost by Cooper and found by somebody who didn't turn it in..

To shift topics... I found this little nugget in the FBI files.. a guy calls a Spokane Newspaper and the FBI and says he would like a reward for taking the FBI room next to where the Cooper money is stored outside of Wa State. He wants the media there.. the guy was to call back but never did. First impression, it sounds like a legitimate call vs a hoax.. at least the caller believes that he knows exactly where the money is though it may or may not actually have been where he thinks.

Huh, I don't see the connection and I remember that skit, maybe lawyer humour..

?? not new, that is in the Gray file..

Your suspect was 58 in '71... now 58 is too old,, confusing or did you drop him..

He was 57/58..

Did you find any pics of Milton B Vordahl

He looks very very close to sketch B, but with narrower lips and slightly saggier cheeks.. edit jowls not cheeks..
