After listening to Larry Carr on the Cooper Vortex podcast I am just very pessimistic about this case ever being solved. The FBI also lost all the evidence that would have solved it within a week (cigarette butts and hair).
-
I don't know what Ulis' motives are, if he is doing it for money, fame or if he really wants to solve the case. I have been following him for a while now and haven't been very impressed so far. His suspect Vince Peterson seems like some random, innocent guy who is now tied to the Cooper case forever. There is zero evidence that he has anything to do with it. That being said, I do like Ulis' idea of searching for DNA traces on the spindle of the tie clip. It is worth a try imo.
-
This case will never be solved. It is the modern version of Jack the Ripper, which happened 135 years ago and still nobody has a clue who he was. The partial DNA evidence on the tie is pretty much useless: God knows how many people have touched that tie in the last 52 year! It could be from anybody.
-
With 'top notch DNA' I mean a full DNA profile. Sometimes the DNA evidence is in a very small quantity, poorly preserved or highly degraded so only a partial DNA profile can be obtained.
-
I agree, maybe the FBI has missed that spot and who knows... we might get some top notch DNA. :)
-
Apart from the legal aspect, do you think it is worth doing a DNA test on the tie clip? I would think that the FBI has already done that?

You guys are right, Ellis is too small to be Cooper. I converted their heights to centimeters (which makes more sense to me) and Ellis' 1.67m compared to Coopers 1.85m is too much of a height difference. Ellis was actually a really small guy and that would have been noticed by the people who interacted with Cooper.
-
Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes, his height is definitely an issue. Apart from that I find Ellis an intriguing suspect. There is just something about this guy that makes me think he could have been Cooper. I wonder if the FBI has ever looked into him and ruled him out as a suspect. Maybe if Larry Carr reads this he can let us know.

I am new to this forum but not to the D.B.Cooper case. I would like to bring up this suspect who (to my knowledge) has never been linked to D.B.Cooper. His name is William Henry Ellis (see photo) and he vanished in june 1971 while on bond after a bank burglary: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/48726213/william-henry-ellis-skips-town-free-on/ In my opinion he looks just like the D.B.Cooper sketches, especially the protruding lower lip. He also has a motive to hijack a plane for money because he was on the run and needed the cash. More info about him can be found here: https://www.doenetwork.org/cases/3319dmmd.html Ellis is worthwhile investigating more because he disappeared only 6 months before the Cooper hijacking and he also had a criminal history. It would be interesting to find out if he had a militairy background and any experience with skydiving.
