Just now realized that the 1960 card was pulled from the pocket of the museum chute. Good lord, this parachute business is really something else. The whole business from late December of the 1960 being an "integral part of the chute" made me think that the 1960 card was just shoved in the folds of the museum chute. Guess not.
-
yes, I was reading my spreadsheet wrong.

Anyone have an idea as to who this suspect was? Sub File 1059. Something to do with Lake Tahoe. I asked Larry and he can't recall. 1062 is LD, 1061 is Kenny, 1060 is Arthur Derham, and 1058 is Lyle Franklin. It's not Barb because she was apparently so insignificant that they never created a Sub File for her. That may be unfair to Barb though because Gossett never received a sub file either. Anyways, the only suspect with a connection to Lake Tahoe is Jack Farmer and he already has a Sub File (No. 986).

So why do both Hayden and Cossey say that the tan was 26 and green was 28? That’s what confuses me about all this. Also, if you’re saying the packing card is wrong for the museum chute then you’re saying we can’t trust that Cooper jumped with a 24 foot either. Either both packing cards are wrong or both are right. I don’t see one being wrong and one being right.

Fred Catalano had some amazing hair in high school

Oh, my bad. Guess we're all talking in circles here.
-
That is TAN. You said that chute IS an NB6. Fly says it is NOT and I'm inclined to agree with him. The museum chute more closely resembles the WWII chute than an NB6.
-
Good heavens, we're playing word games here. I said "some type of olive drab shade" i.e. GREEN. Call it what you will: greenish, sage green, mucus colored, moss, shamrock, seafoam, lime, jade, chartreuse, emerald, baby shit, whatever. The entire point which you have dodged is that I've never seen an NB6 or NB8 type parachute back that was not on the green color wheel; I've never seen any the color of the chute in the museum. If you can show me an example I'd like that.
-
Thanks for explaining what they are. Why can’t I find an NB-6 container that isn’t OD and doesn’t have a circular seam?
-
Not trying to be argumentative, but just trying to understand. Every pic I've come across for NB-6's they have a circular looking seam at the bottom. The museum chute and the chute Fly posted have the identical straight seams. Also, I've never come across an NB-6 online that was a color other than some sort of olive drab type of shade.
-
I've not found a source confirming that Hayden actually bought anything at a surplus store. Do you have the source for that? Hayden told Bruce he couldn't remember if he got them directly from Cossey or took them to Cossey to pack. Vault files don't help either. Hayden told whomever he spoke with in 1971 that Cossey had "assembled" them. In Cossey's first statement he says Hayden came to him needing two parachutes so he packed two parachutes which were furnished to Hayden.
-
So maybe it was. What's the likelihood that Cossey had TWO of those crummy old packs?
-
So I just looked through my Cossey files and can't find anywhere where Cossey called the museum chute an NB6. Seems like we've been calling it that based on what was written in this evidence report. Cossey only stated that COOPER's chute was an NB6.
-
Good stuff. I've been attempting to purchase an NB6 and none of them have looked like the museum chute. Guess this is why.
-
And the likelihood of any of it being Cooper's DNA is probably low. That tie was picked up by agents in Reno, taken to a Penney's, sent to the Crime Lab, sent back to Vegas, then sent again to Crime Lab in 72, sent back to Vegas, then sent to LA in 74, then sent back to Vegas, then sent to Seattle in the 90's, then sent to Crime Lab in 2001, sent back to Seattle, etc. It has seen some miles and numerous hands since NORJAK.
-
The “discussion” I’m referring to is what I’ve read from YOU.
-
I've read discussion about there being 9 loci among the DNA. It's my understanding that this doesn't tell us how many donors there were. 9 loci could all come from the same person, right? But we know that there are multiple partial profiles among the DNA. Might three be the answer to how many? This is from 2010 when Marla's cousin (LD's daughter) gave a sample for testing.
-
Want to share this with everyone. I purchased an original printing of this photo and scanned it. So this is probably the clearest version of this we're going to get unless the negative is obtained. You can even see Al Lee (presumably) standing by the Dodge Dart.
-
Vortexy name on that chute.
-
Are you suggesting Cossey lied on BOTH of the packing cards? For what purpose? The packing card that says 24 foot canopy was not a typo in the FBI Files. Two different people, a month apart, read that card and stated the exact same thing in their report.
-
I believe Cooper was a lot less tense once he received the money and with the passengers off the plane. Agree with you on them being somewhat comfortable around him. They're seemingly back there just shooting the shit with him.
-
-
What makes you say that? NB6's were built for 26' Navy conical canopies. NB8's were for 28' C-9's.
-
If that whole thing about her taking the money and then handing it back was a lie, then what was the point of the lie? Seems like an interaction you'd just omit completely when telling the story.
-
What precisely?
