Where do we have evidence that Gunther went to the FBI? Is that in a redacted 302 that I glossed over?
-
A hoaxer.
-
It means I think the book is likely fictional, but I'm not prepared to completely write off. I keep an open mind.
-
I’m personally not a believer in Gunther, but I’m not at all opposed to following leads based on the book and wouldn’t discourage anyone from following them. Even if it didn’t reveal Cooper’s identity, DNA testing the stamp could explain who was behind the letters, which I think is a worthwhile endeavor.

We pulled that out of a box at Himmelsbach's grandson's house. Although finding the original letter to Himmy from "Clara" was the highlight of that trip. Would be neat to have that stamp DNA tested at some point.

Good stuff. Several of the Cooper copycats were referred to by passengers as using phony tough guy expressions like something from a TV show or a movie. Here's one such instance:

I’m hearing that Tom’s scope has been fixed and is up and running.

Confirmed that this was Flo living in Missouri. Her last name was Wheeler by that point. The mention of Arkansas is a clue but the clincher is the mention of Coffelt because Flo is the one who the Coffelt camp claimed ID'd him as Cooper.

When people these days try to shove photos in front of the Stews for identification, they need to keep this 302 from April 1976 in mind:

There are plenty of baffling things in the Cooper case, but this packing cards thing is near the top. We've got the Air Force sergeant identifying it by the July 1960 card and saying it's 24 foot. He apparently finds this card in "a pocket on this parachute", which sounds like the pocket where those cards go on the NB-6. Then you've got the official description from evidence claiming that it is the 1957 26 footer. Following that you have the "integral part" line. So which one did Hayden get back that is in the museum? The 1960 24 footer or the 1957 26 footer?
-
sadly, yes
-
Indeed. There's a 302 where Bill requests that they make one. Would be nice to see what Cooper's nose profile might have been and what type of turkey gobble he was remembering.

Do we know if they go back and unredact 302's? Let's take Braden, for example. If someone were to submit proof of death on Braden, and he was mentioned in Vault 25, would they go back and unredact him in Vault 25 and reupload Vault 25?

The most comprehensive study I've seen on eyewitness accuracy was a study done by Dutch academics. They found that 44% of eyewitnesses were able to get within an inch. So if 44% of witnesses chose 6'1 for a height, then the actual perp was between 6'0 and 6'2. 34% of people were given a "partly correct" assessment, which means they got within two inches, so if they chose 6'1 then the person was actually 5'11 or 6'3. And as you can see 22% fell outside that range on their estimations. As far as eyewitnesses overestimating the height of criminals during a crime (when they are aware of the crime), that's pretty much settled science at this point.

It’s almost as if individual words sometimes matter… Ridiculous that one of the premier law enforcement agencies on the planet didn’t audio record their interviews.
-
What do we make of this discrepancy? The "cockpit can put it down" line is essentially a silver bullet for any suspect who had flown or was intimately familiar with the 727, since they would have known that the cockpit didn't have the controls to do that.
-
this matches up...
-
Gregory says Cooper had his glasses off briefly at a certain point.

OK, you win. I’ll cry Uncle. I don’t want to talk about bloody metallurgy anymore.

Ulis on TV. I really don’t like this lawsuit. It’s my opinion that a DNA recovery specialist needed to make the initial request. I think if a credentialed DNA lab sent in a request (non-FOIA) to try and recover DNA from a particular spot on Cooper’s tie that the FBI perhaps would have granted the request. Or at least have Tom make the request since there is already precedent for him having access. Eric is just a random dude to them, of course they aren’t going to give him access, especially when he didn’t have someone lined up already. I advised him on a FB Live a month or so ago that his lawsuit would carry a lot more weight if the DNA lab was part of the suit. I’m concerned that suing the FBI is just going to piss them off and that we’ll never get access again.

They removed the last 3 rows of seats. No idea where Cooper’s seat is now. Would be a cool piece for a museum.

Ok, forget that patent then. Can you find any other places that actually made TiSb alloys with high percentage antimony than those listed?

looks to be a fingerprint smudge or an artifact of the film itself.
