This is the answer. He was in it for the money and nothing else. Just a different way to rob a bank.
-
I believe Ryan was one doing edits to the Wiki page many moons ago? I will watch for other sources. thanks,
-
He is one of fifteen names listed as a suspect on the "D.B. Cooper - Wikipedia" page. Someone must have thought he was?
-
Got any other suspects you can point me toward with personal confession of this heist? I will check that out.
-
Since you are still chatting about smudged fingerprints, here is a note from one of the known Cooper candidates. He seems to know they wouldn't find finger prints on his plane. Also something more about the possible origin of the tie! I am not pushing any suspect, just found this today with an online search. Might be a possibility for any of the candidates?

You told me quite a few weeks ago that the rubber bands were "intact". Were they twisted in the same fashion as these sub-packets? Furthermore, wouldn't the rubber bands be compromised with rolling and tumbling action that causes the rest of the bill to disintegrate? OR - did someone put the bands on after all the rolling and tumbling?

Why does the senior Ingram need to direct his son to a particular point to smooth a spot? Why didn't he let Brian smooth the first spot Brian chose?? They are on a large beach of sand - wouldn't anywhere work??? This doesn't have to be the Rackstraw grift - it could be tied to any one of the suspects. The Rackstraw researchers are just the ones that exposed this part of the puzzle. A human bury on Tena Bar makes more sense than trying to get the money to wash up on shore nine years later and in a condition that it could be identified as Cooper money. I agree with others, that the money find doesn't really matter to solve the case. But if you have another option besides the Columbia River as the money delivery method, then you don't have to tether the rest of your story to the Columbia or the whole bag of loot.

Nothing... Not even a clip from 2016 history channel series with this guy pointing and telling junior where to clear a spot?

Rataczak became the Northwest spokesperson for the hi-jacked flight. Do you think this is self-appointed or company appointed? Wouldn't the Captain normally deliver any statements or have comment on his ship? There seems to be something more to this part of the puzzle.

Are you sure these dates match when the second sketch (your sketch A) came out? Only the "Initial Sketch" was out, especially on the 25th. Date on the second sketch (your A) shows Nov 30, 1971, from the FBI files I find.

Was Himmelsbach making the same statement before the money find? Did anyone mention rubber bands or bundles prior? You stated just before this post 'maybe four FBI sources' reported the money was given to Cooper in bundles. I thought only the SeaFirst bank folks, Northwest, and Tina had seen the money - not any FBI sources? I will continue to go with Tina's assessment after she looked into the bag at the time of the hijacking and not someone recalling it nine years later or recounting what they heard from another. It seems to me any information or witness accounts, pre-money find, would be more reliable and closer to the truth. We are all influenced by the latest information and bend our stories to fit.
-
I think it does, She defines the money as small packages. She defines the packages as banded with bank type bands. She NEVER states that there were bundles or groups or clumps or any other name of banding multiple small packages. She could see individual packages with each of those being banded with bank type bands. I believe Tina tells us what was in the bag better than any other witnesses involved in preparing the money.
-
From Tina's 302... Small packages with bank-type bands around each package...Doesn't seem like she saw any rubber bands!
-
OR The found money was originally three individual packets, later made into a bundle of one with rubber bands? Tina only stated the presence of 'bank type bands' and nothing about rubber bands.
-
Was this comment by Baker pre- or post- Money Find? Was he influenced by the found condition?
