Possible yes, likely no. We we have Jeffries and Hooper in Vancouver ten days after the skyjacking calling in a tip about a white canopy hung up on the I-5 railroad bridge. So I don’t know how deterred folks were about submitting leads that were outside of the fbi search area. The media and news coverage was still big in the surrounding area and the money find ten years later also presented an opportunity for somebody more south of the FBI DZ to make the connection.

I wouldn’t say McCoy played it cool, he was making comments regarding the search that was going on to the dude that gave him a ride home. He said it was that commentary that got him suspicious and made him call in the tip. Cooper got out of the area someway, you’d think if anyone picked up a guy in the area that night wearing a suit, we would of heard a story by now and same with the walking into a woodland gas station.

If there was alcohol taken I’d be much more inclined to believe this scenario with teens/young adults. I talked to the sister of the owner of the Heisson store, who worked there in 71 and she said break ins from the local honorary punks were common and beer/smokes were the norm. I don’t know how you could say what a skyjacker would take, but let me turn the question around on you. You don't think a skyjacker breaking into a store to use the phone would steal some random shit on the way out?
-
Agreed. Highly doubt it was some kind of burglary ring like this. They are seeking easily sellable items for resale. The items taken from Casey’s were cheap necessity items. Stuff for survival.

You could use the film to make a fire.

Here was TK’s response on the fb group last night.

After a suggestion from an old FBI guy to Larry Carr that they used silver nitrate as fingerprint detection in the 70's they considered the mystery solved. It would of been nice if they gave the guy who’s initial were on ever bill a call (Max Jarrell) and just confirmed that he sprayed some of the bills with silver nitrate. I count six here in this photo, so was it the bottom and top bill of the three packets he tested, that would make sense. But when Tom tested the black bill. There were no rubber band marks, he looked for them on the bills.
-
Sounds like he got his break ins mixed up, Heisson had many.

And what happened to Tina’s purse? In this pic of her leaving the airplane, no sign of a purse. 6846CDCE-2F8F-46E9-ACC4-757D5B021DC5.webp

Do you think touch DNA can be obtained from the packing card?

Would this fit the bill fly? https://www.ebay.com/itm/225439027685?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&srsltid=ASuE1wSyw-rQDztV3FXg6xOTrReQcX7D8o2iIbQhgnicSKR6BAojqU7bZK8 D49844D9-7EC7-4D61-A08A-912CB574E089.webp 0840A19E-057C-4F5B-85C2-95315FE7E5B2.webp

In Himmies interview with Gryder when talking about the shroud lines cooper cut, he says that a delicious thought to him having been familiar with that nylon parachute cord, unless you were a fisherman that knew how to tie a knot that won’t slip through, he wouldn’t of been able to secure the ransom package with the paracord. Starts at the 59 minute mark.

Well why don’t you come to CooperCon and deliver the information personally. EU has an open invitation out to you.
-
Oh gotcha, I thought you said they had a new search zone that they didn't search.
-
Are you saying the FBI didn't do any new ground searches in 1973?
-
Come on G, get real… if it were as simple as picking up the phone and asking her, we’d have our answer already. I asked her camp for clarification on this and all I got in response was you’ll have to watch the film.
-
Consider me in this camp as well. I agree with this 100% G.

It’s my understanding that Lyle was doing aerial surveillance/photography for the CIA on that leg of the trip. According to one of the news articles that came out in the local paper, Vic had an embassy rep show up as soon as he got to the hospital. That to me is very telling he was CIA. Here is testimony from somebody that saw Lyle in Honduras the night before the crash. He was supposed to be on the plane but overslept… but notice how he refers to them as contractors.
-
Yes that’s the page I was referring to, good find fly. Interesting about the plane registration. Lyle told his good friend John Fairbanks that he had purchased the 180. Here is that correspondence and a picture of Vic in the plane (Cessna 180) with with him.
-
I’ve spoken to his son Lyle Jr and his granddaughter Amber extensively. His death is it’s own mystery I’ve went down the rabbit hole on. They believe and I tend to agree with them after conducting my own research into LC’s crash in Honduras that the CIA took him out. I reached out to the lone survivor of the crash Victor Vinson aka Cajun Vic who somehow thought to take his seatbelt off as the plane was going down which allowed him to be ejected out miraculously saving his life. I found it really interesting that the day after we spoke on the phone the page on his website for his name brand chain of Cajun food trucks that detailed his entire story of the crash was removed from the site. Here is Vic undergoing jump training with Lyle earlier on in that trip they took to Honduras.

It’s been a crash course in metallurgy to say the least!
-
Well if the pocket is labeled like that then it’s self explanatory and it would make sense to remove the paperwork that ID’s the chute. If he had parachute experience why not bring his own rig? Why use laymen terminology like front and back chutes instead of mains and reserves? Why not specify the type of rigs? Those are things I would expect from somebody with a parachutist background… there picky and selective about what they jump with.
-
You can’t assume cooper was looking for packing cards to check them for parachuting purposes. He could of been checking the pockets for trackers and found the packing card and decided to take it out as it could be used to identify the chute.
-
Tina described the red sticks as being six inches long which is not consistent with road flares.
-
The sheer amount of Ti metal found on the stubs combined with all those particles of Ti-Pd and the TiSb are all very strong indicators of specialty metals R&D work. Tom agrees this is the kitty pool cooper was swimming in. I’ve looked at individuals who would be wearing ties from all the players involved in this industry: RMI, Batelle Memorial Institute, TIMET, Dupont, Crucible, Wa Chang, Bureau of Mines, ect. and there is only one individual that I’ve come across that sticks out as fitting the cooper physical profile the personality profile and the tie profile. This person who I refer to as the unicorn is Milton Bernard Vordahl.
