These two crimes are undated but both appear in the Nov 30th edition of The Columbian.
-
If I were to buy into this being Cooper, I’m thinking that the Jess Hatfield intruder was NOT Cooper. That’s an unnecessary diversion for him. That’s too out of the way. He just made it back to civilization and then he goes back deep into the countryside? Nah. The guy on the road and then the burglary seems to check out as being the same individual, Cooper or not.
-
Understood, but I’m getting off the road when a car approaches unless I’m hitchhiking like McNally did.
-
The only realistic scenarios to explain this would be if he landed in the woods and it took him several hours to find a road OR if he was roughed up on the landing. McNally was so concussed from hitting his head in the landing that he crawled off and slept for 12 hours. Perhaps Cooper was injured and it took him a few hours to recover or maybe he was moving slow due to an injury. It’s unlikely that the girl who spotted him (if it was him) would have noticed a limp. All that said, I think the last thing Coop would want to do is draw attention to himself by walking down the street when a car drives by and/or committing a burglary. Best to just keep a low profile and get out of Dodge as quickly as possibly while not arousing anyone’s suspicions.

It's possible that the address remained the same from 1942 to 1971 considering that he was already middle aged in 1942 and probably didn't move again. But I'm not sure this is the type of address that is going to help us.
-
Only issue I see is that he’d have to cross a river to get to Paradise Point. The first two are intriguing. If Cooper knew the area a little bit (or if just winging it perhaps), then he’d know that to get to civilization he had to walk west toward I-5. So Cooper would have walked down Old River Road toward Woodland.

Chris Broer found this from the Longview paper on 11/25/71. I have a hard time believing this isn’t the burglary that we’ve been attributing to the Heisson Store. I realize the 302 says 10 miles south of Merwin Dam but this has to be the same crime. This is about three miles away from the site where the girl saw the man walking down the road.
-
I've yet to see an example of ransom money being delivered without paper straps. Detlor told me that paper straps were good because it allowed an extortionist to quickly and easily make an estimation of how much money they had been given.
-
The Facebook Group is essentially the only place (aside from a few random things on the DZ) where actual Cooper research is being posted and discussed.
-
I honestly can’t believe how anyone could possibly think that “bank type bands” means rubber bands.
-
…………nice work!
-
Possibly, but I think it still fits within the parameter of a single bundle being there, especially as they were described by Grinnell: 5 packet bundles. Ingram's found 3 packets. It's possible that these fragments and clumps were from the other two packets with that bundle.
-
I'm with you. Concrete evidence that there was more than $5800 found would be pretty damn important.
-
Couple of articles mention finding additional fragments/money
-
The Tena Bar 302's are virtually unusable they are so redacted. Here are all the ones I've been able to collect in the Vault. Might be missing one or two. TenaBar302s.pdf

Thanks for pointing this out to him. I’m sure he’s never seen those transcripts before. they’re on my website too. https://norjak.org/files/
-
Agreed. I doubt he offered Tina a full bundle. Probably pulled a packet or two out of a bundle and handed that to her.
-
Again, Grinnell has offered a possible explanation of 3 packet bundles existing. But I’ll let Chaucer explain that.
-
Chaucer has had multiple interviews with Grinnell now and has some thoughts about the randomized bundles. I’ll let him tell it since it’s his research. Grinnell will be at CC this year.
-
The Cooper money looked exactly like this according to multiple conversations with Bill Grinnell. 5 packet bundles.
-
Cini's ransom
-
And I continue to be amazed how a pilot like yourself somehow thinks the most watched aircraft on Earth on Nov 24, 1971 was actually 10 miles away from where every shred of evidence available places it.
-
I'm unclear how any actual research on the topic could lead you or anyone to conclude that no one jumped off the plane.

Mac tried to order 100 copies in bulk and asked for a discounted rate and the publishing company refused, haha.
