I tried and tried and tried to send my pictures in the format I had composed them on in Word. But it won't email to someone who would be able to format it for the thread. If I posted each pic individually the over all effect would NOT do what the one page of nine photos did in the order they were. I am going to put ONE photo on here NONE of you have seen. I didn't know when it was made nor what angle it was made from. Strange thing going on with Weber's mouth in this pic and the pic is very poor quality. His birthday is June 18, 1924. I had forgot that until tonight. That is 2 wks from today! Well, I guess not it is already Wed. in the south. I will call this pic - "What's with the mouth" and when the hell was the pic made? Definitely made after 1971! Weber is pretty heavy in the pic. It is not very clear either. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

Today I was very calm and just doing what I had to do. I ran some errands and when I got home there was Caddy in my driveway. The man had white hair and a white mustache - his complexion was very close to that of Duane Weber. My head did Flip-flops! I knew I was expecting a Shutter man, but to see someone who resembled Weber was interesting. Well, it was Just the Shutter man - NO, not our Mrshutter! A real shutter man - he was early for our appointment!

It will be interesting to see how you write Cooperland. You must realize you're not a disinterested bystander and you are one of the more controversial members of Cooperland. I hope you present yourself that way. Wonder when he has time to write a story...spends all of his time here! Needless to say he would never make fair statements about all the suspects...he supports the most unlikely of suspects! By the way Blevins DO NOT make me (Jo Weber) part of YOUR story. My story is NOT your Story....and YOU have NO permission to use any part of what I have to say.,,,nor does anyone else. Another Cooper writer just learned this the HARD way! Write about Cooper all you want - but tell no lies and do not misrepresent Jo Weber. Outside of this thread HER story will be told HER way! I do NOT want the sicko things said about me that are said about a man who DOES not know and did NOT know his own suspect! At least I was married to my suspect for 17 yrs plus our time spent before our marriage. My suspect at least admitted he was Cooper and I HELD in my HAND the ticket, a stub and a BANK bag! Hell, I can't prove it, but one damn thing for sure - I will take any test anyone wants me to and I would pass it in a heart beat - because it is true. If anyone of you thought for one moment I would spend this many yrs on a project - I could not win or that might be eventually proven - then you guys are the ones who need a ego boost - not JO WEBER! Every once in a while I allow myself to be pulled away from what I know, but then I GO back to the airline ticket, the stub and the Bank bag. If Weber was just setting me up - it was 17 yrs in the making. That just does NOT compute in my book. I am certainly not trying to make money off of this and at my age and with my health - even if I prove it, there is NO gain other than my own self satisfaction in knowing my memory is pretty damn good. Sure, I fell into a lot of the theories and played with the possiblities - but it always ends up going where I have already been. If Weber was setting a stage or doing a hoax - he took 17 yrs of my life doing and then over 18 yrs of my life trying to unravel the webbing he left behind. If I were able to prove it or disprove it - there is NOTHING there for me. I DO want the satisfaction of knowing it is over before I leave this world! I want the story to be heard - MY WAY and not stuffed full of the lies and interjections the naysayer throw in....why do any of you think I sent that damn stuff to the FBI. Also - there is another WA file that needs to be checked out. Bremerton. I had seen that old record on the files, but figured with the ages it just could NOT be. Well, spend your money checking it out. Larry was Mary Jane's son and her husband was Duane Weber. Bit of a toss wouldn't you say....are the ages wrong or was that just their ages on the file? Wasn't Duane in prison at that time? Find out for yourself and then report it to the thread? Anyone out there who thinks they can write this story better get on the ball with FACTS! You have a lot of HOG WASH to contend with! You won't find it in this thread, but in the way the FBI has investigated Weber. The only story left out there is HOW and WHY the SYSTEM FAILED!

Packages went out last wk and the FBI - both DC & WA will have them by mid-wk! I do NOT expect reply, but by Friday the rest of them go OUT! I have sent pics to N.Orleans without a letter. I want them to get their curiosity up....because there is a man there Duane knew, but under what name I do not know! Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

NOT in 1971. The expressway had NOT gone thru there. The build up was did NOT start until 1978. Even Duane expressed this statement in 1979. "I didn't know they had finished the express way this far out". Portlands EXPLOSION started before and after the expressway. I have discussed this with some people in Portland yrs ago...I contacted realestate people about how populated that area was. Did NOT reveal who I was or why I was calling. Remember I did NOT go public until 2000! Duane and I also took a part of that road and then went off of it to go inward into Oregon. Like I said the man knew the back roads - he didn't need a Damn map! I will tell you this that the PLANE tried to stay out of heavily populated areas - it was also about search, resue and recovery if the plane BLEW or went down. NO one listened to me on this, but I know what the orders were! The area between Camas and Vancouver had a low population at that time and it went near the PDX and a private airport just East of the PDX. Duane showed me this stuff - he took me there! In 1979. I asked the co-pilot this and he said yes and then others stated later that it was not so and claimed the co-pilot had not said that. Perhaps the Co-pilot has been ordered not to speak about these thing, but perhaps his accident had something to do with him memory. I know what he told me and he did NOT tell me the flight was West of Portland. We specifically talked about the outlet thru Cames and Vancouver and along the highway. Maybe it was ME talking to myself and hearing myself! All accept the last conversations took place before his throat surgery and his accident. He still sounds good but you could tell he had lost the edge on his thinking like anyone else including myself who has been thru multiple traumas.

The Pearson Airport and Ryan's Landing are VERY close to where he took me to the Columbia and went down to the WATER and told me to stay in the car. Two sets of rail ran thru there. We were in an area just East of there, but now there are other things there. We were east of where Winterly Park is now located. The next location is not too far from the bridge where there was an industrial site and the next place was East of the bridge at Tena's Bar and the last place was on our way back out at the Red Lion at the base of the bridge, None of this has anything to do with what is going on....just something that popped up when I was attempting to answer the question asked by Mrsshutter.

Shutter said: Jo, where was Bill stating the location of the plane was when he made this statement? if he could still see Vancouver, he was not close enough to Portland to say he flew east of Portland. There is one good position just after Battleground where he could see Vancouver and Portland out the right side of the aircraft Jo States: I was on the phone with him - I am not a pilot. All I can do is tell you what my notes say and what my memory contains. He and I spoke about this on 2 very specific times. Not just one time. But 2 times regarding the fight - in 10 yrs. My having NO KNOWLEDGE of the fight path or planes and what you can see or not see of course made the conversation elementary. If you say there is ONE good position just after Battleground where he could see Vancouver & Portland and pilots validate this I see no problem with it. Perhaps this is when the changes are made for the rest of the trip. They had felt a bump or something - and figured Cooper was gone and if he wasn't gone they wanted him gone. So take him a direction where he will go ahead and jump. Cooper sure was NOT going to jump over Portland - you can bet on that. I think Cooper wanted to land near Green Mountain AIR-PARK on the EAST end of 500. I was recently told it is not there anymore, but

The plane passed Portland on the East side of the flight path! This per statements made to me by Rataczak. As he could see the haze or whatever you guys want to call it of Vancouver...out his right window. My conversation took place with the co-pilot many many yrs ago. My memory of conversations - you guy will soon I hope find are very good. Remember he was allowed to make decision as long as he stayed within the Vector. They did NOT know positively if Cooper was still there or not. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

Red Crosses on the FBI Map. What are you guys talking about? I am still not feeling well, so this will be short - no up-date on my chonological dialog of my life with Weber tonight. I was reading the newspaper this morning and there was a special article on something UNRELATED to Cooper. I spent today composing a short letter to a young man I met many yrs ago on the public transport in Altanta. Has nothing to do with Cooper other than I hope it will prove to those who doubt me that I have a remarkable memory. That I am not crazy or delusional. I often thought about this young man I had a conversation with and do not know if he will remember me. But if he does! The sky is the limit. He DID become very successful and I would thrill me to no end if our brief encounter was what spurred him to never give up. He would have succeeded in his indevour regardless. My gut tells me the young man I spoke to is the same young man I read about this morning. Remind me to let you guys know if the young man (who is now in his early 40's) contacts me and remembers me. If he does - then there is NO way you guys can continue to diss my memory. My conversation with this young man I have never forgotten, but will he remember me? When we departed the rails - I told him he had a great future for him and to never give up. Good Night! Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

Robert Blevins - remember I posted the employment for Duane Weber that was known during those yrs - on this thread. Duane was always on the Go and he and his wife were very unstable with employment. I have the stories she told about that period which are also here. I cannot sit very long at a time, but you can - so READ BACK! You find them - I am not going to dig into those files AGAIN and try to type that stuff. They are faded and hard to read and since the wife is on there I cannot make them public info except for his employment. Their personal life was fly by the seat of their pants and not something most people experience. I would NOT have wanted to have known him in those yrs.

Life is not so easy anymore maybe it is just the medication messing with my co-ordination. The last few wks, I feel so clumsy. I drop everything I pick-up and my hand writing has gotten terrible in just a few short weeks. Lots of confusion about simple things I have done very day for most of my life. Nothing seems to work right and now my legs are swelling. I am on a really heavy dose of prednisone, but I have had that before and I do not remember being like this. I knew I had been slowing down since the surgeries and thought I would get my strength back - but I just keep going down. Let me tell you guys - the GOLDEN yrs are NOT what they are cracked up to be! I intend to try to finish my posting of my life with Weber - at least they will be there when someday someone finally decides that NO one but Weber could have been Cooper. I know he was and if he wasn't he knew who was. I HELD THAT TICKET IN MY OWN HANDS IN 1994/1995 WHEN HIS LEG WAS BROKEN. I HELD THAT BANK BAG IN MY HANDS IN 1990 AND A SEA TAC STUB. I KNOW WHAT HE TOLD ME. I AM GETTING OLD BUT MY MIND AND MY MEMORY STILL WORKS. WHO ELSE BUT A JOKER COULD HAVE PULLED THAT DAMN STUNT OFF AND GOT AWAY WITH IT! THE GUY WHO WOULD NEVER AMOUNT TO A HILL OF BEANS. HIS LIFE WAS SCREWED UP. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE 1966 INTAKE PHOTO YOU SEE A DEFEATED MAN. TOTALLY DEFEATED. EVEN IN FACING DEATH I NEVER SAW HIM WITH THAT LOOK OF DEFEAT ON HIS FACE. THE CANON RECORD HAS AN INTAKE AND OUT TAKE PHOTO. DID THEY DO THAT AT JEFFERSON? BUT LOOK AT THE PHOTOS AFTER 1971 - HE TAKES ON A COMPLETE NEW DEMEANOR IN APPEARANCE AND PRESENTATION. HE SOME HOW OVER-CAME WHATEVER IT WAS THAT HELD HIM BACK. SURE HE WAS NOT PERFECT - HE CONTINUED TO DRINK TOO MUCH AND MAKE BAD DECISIONS, BUT ALL IN ALL HE DID OBVIOUSLY BECOME A BETTER MAN. The Duane I knew cared about people and helped them. All of the things he did for others he did not have to do. The way he was with young people (teenagers and young employees) was amazing. He had a REAL soft heart - just cannot believe he spent so much time in prisons...what a hard life and why - what caused it and why did he change his life - how did he become what he became? The young man we met in New Orleans - I thought he had a baby face and probably younger than myself. I could not understand when and where this young man and Duane could have been friends. Duane would give you the shirt off it back - but not his rings! The way he handled the young man in the bar in Co who got out of hand - making everyone think he had a gun and when the young man walked up and apologized to Duane for his actions toward me when I tried to get thru to the ladies room. That young man thought Duane had a gun and I think everyone in there did.,,the bar went silent when Duane came back from the car. The guy said he was going home and Duane reached up and put his hands on his shoulders and said "Young man I think that is a good idea". When the young man walked out of the bar - Duane reached inside of his leather dress jacket and laid on the bar the largest screw driver I had ever seen. That Bar ROARED! The man who played the steel guitar and his wife who sang and played a reg guitar started playing a song...I don't remember what it was - but, it was appropriate. Like Don't Take Your Gun To Town. Let if go with a good memory for tonight - I have told that story, before, but I love it because it was the Duane I knew - I didn't know Duane the ex-con. I do KNOW with all of MY heart and soul he was Cooper or he was involved - perhaps he buried Cooper. Only one man or one survivor could have gotten away with this crime. If there were 2 and both survived the secret would have been out a long time ago. Frankly I think it comes down to what he told me "I'm Dan Cooper". Why did he say that! Why didn't he say D.B.Cooper - because he did NOT identify with DB, but he did with Dan. Why did he choose the name Dan. Note that men who use aliases often use the initials they have used before. Duane L. Weber John Dusty Collins John Carson Collins Johnnie Collins Cooper chose a name he was comfortable with and one he associated with fire and fear and used the man's last name - the man whose teachings could have saved the men at Missoula. Why was Duane so involved with this Missoula thing. He said he knew a couple of the men that were there, but he didn't say which ones...I don't even remember when the Missoula fire was - I am forgetting dates now and forget trying to balance the check book!

I chased something about a Duane L. Weber in CO one time - and actually found the man. Forgot what it was about, but it wasn't my Duane L. Weber. Think I will pass! Thanks anyway!

In 1988 is when we moved to Florida, but I don't know about any lawsuit. He did fall, but that was yrs later at a convenience store. Do you know the area of this Degussa Corp and what kind of company they are. We were married but, he never mentioned anything about filing a lawsuit. If he did that might explain money that appeared in 1990. Curious? How do I find out about this. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

I was trying to wind down and lots of criminal records were presented by Mrshutter - it has been a shocking and eye opening experience learning about the past of Weber. I am totally surprised by your obvious disconcern for the well being of anyone. but yourself. I felt what they were doing was trying to help me thur this. All I am doing now is a summary of my life with Weber or whoever the hell he was! You are the only JERK on here - perhaps it is YOUR eyes which need to be opened or are they CLOSED by the high ranking with which you were associated. Look at your hands - there is dirt beneath your finger nails. Someday before I go - I will expose you and you know that!

In Mobile, Al I learn Duane has a colored past. We meet Tommy Gunn and he called Duane "John". I won't bore you or repeat it - it is in this thread. On our first trip to New Orleans Duane takes me to a party -I meet some VERY strange people...some VERY high end people - this is were I meet Baby face - a man much younger than Duane who had known him from before....I have always thought I remember his name being Dale. Someone who admired Duane and I also met the man I now know to be Bernie and over heard a strange conversation. The host was a tall light headed man who looked like a man I later learned was connected to Bernie. I am not comfortable talking about this. It makes me nervous. Another trip passing thru N.Orleans he delivers a package for an old friend who played the trumpet there at a place on the corner. He tell me the man is not there and we spend the night in N.Orleans and bought a painting and he goes to see a shoe shine man he knew (went alone while I went to a shop). The first thing we did when we walked in to the lobby was he asked if this man was still there and he was told yes, but he was elsewhere in the building. We were on our way to Ms for a Managers meeting. The man is there, but I do not meet him - and now I know it is because the man only knew him a Johnnie Collins or perhaps Dusty. The bar Duane went to see the trumpet player we go by the next day before we leave - he wasn't in that day but Duane left package for the Trumpet player he knew. The Trumpet player was black man he looked like Duane from pictures I would see many yrs later when the man turned 100 yrs old. That was in the newspapers about 3 yrs ago. We make a trip to Atlanta for a meeting for a company we did NOT work for (we only had dinner with them that night). This is when I took the picture of Ed Horan - the blue eyed man I think was one of the brother who went missing in 1962 from Alcatraz. The next day Duane delivers a package for this wealthy man out of Tx to another man in Atlanta...a man who looked like a million dollar - and lots of diamonds and a beautiful wife and a stately condo. They did NOT transact their business in front of me. I saw No PACKAGE unless it was in Duane's vest pocket. We end up back in Atl in 1983 and my daughter went with us. Nothing eventful about that time then we go to Virginia Beach, Va. While living in Atlanta Duane take me to a jeweler there - but, I had stayed in the car and then he comes and gets me and tells me the man wanted to meet me - he was an old friend. He compliments me and tell Duane he has done a great job. I do not remember the name of the jewelry story or the man's name. Expect Duane was peddling HOT jewelry with all that I know about him now. Sorry guys! Am I doing a Blevins thing. I was ready to hang this up the other day and here come those criminal records and now I think I should TRY to do a chronological thing before it is time to go. Let me know later if you want me to continue and where I left off. Very tired right now - and guess what there are no letters left on my key board. I am tired and I hurt.

Where the Trail ends I do not know, but my information comes from family and my first hand knowledge and my life with Duane L. Weber. If Duane was NOT Cooper he spent 17 yrs grooming me for a showing. I do not know exactly how to explain what I am feeling right now and where my thoughts are. I meet this man in 1977 in Atlanta. I think it started on my birthday that yr at the Hilton. Because my married name sounded so phony and guys would say Yea Sure! I started using my maiden name. Strangely my maiden name is the same as Duane's alias and why the Highway Patrol thought he was my father and not my husband when they knocked on the door in 1990 when Duane had tried to get a drivers license with the name of John Collins - that was also my grandfathers - Duane was VERY interest in my family that night and asked me what my father's and grandfather's name was. On a flight home from Co to a wedding in Ga. Hides behind a magazine - claiming the girl was an old girlfriend of his and he didn't want to deal with her. It was Florence and we were flying to Atl by Frontier. We go to the mountains and he goes to this Golf Shop to see an old friend before we go to WA in Sept. The man GIVE him a set of Persimmon Woods. Duane didn't play golf at that time. Then in 1979 we make a trip to Seattle WA. A State managers meeting. Duane wants to take an extra day going up...and wants to make Salt Lake by noon and The Dalles for the night. I had been to Salt Lake and he had many times. He wants to go to the Visitors center - there was a small collection of things in a rear chapel he took me to and tells me to stay there and he would be back in about 10 minutes. Well you guys know that story. Then He makes a trip to see Paperlegs Petersen in Landon Wy and leave him a package so he said. I was in a motel in Rock Springs making appts and he drive ALL the way to Landon with some bad weather coming in. At that time I knew nothing about Paperlegs or that Paperlegs lived in Landon, Wy. I would find that out only thru his obit a few yrs ago. We do NOT drive that far without an appt. I was unaware of everything and out trip to Wa a few months behind us. Then the money is sound in Feb of 1980. Duane did NOT let me read the paper - he took it with him. He does not allow me to see a special and makes arrangements for us to go with another couple to the Holiday Inn where they have a piano bar on a wk day. I remembered because I explained to the woman why I was not very good company. I do NOT know who Duane met this couple.,,they had a dry cleaner there. Duane suddenly resigns his job and take a position in the South - actually he had NO job when he left other than some people to talk to. I had no contact information for him. He calls me and I never knew were he was calling from. Said he had room in Mobile AL and was going to work there. Before he goes to AL he wants me to make a day trip with him to Omaha, Nbk. Said he had some business with the man in the bank - actually he had a safe deposit box there and he is only gone 20 minutes - must have paide it forward for 10 yrs. My daughter is graduating and he comes back to CO. Asked my daugh strange question about her coach and his wife - he was not interested in the past. Had a name same as Tina's, husband. On his way to AL he claimed he had car problems and bought the Marquis - the Old was just a few months old. It was brand new.

Blevins stated: It may seem simplistic, but I think these detailed records on Weber actually lead AWAY from the possibility he was Cooper, Jo States: I have to disagree. I think this is an exploration that should have been done yrs ago. Not even the FBI actually attempted to do what this thread is doing on Weber. At least Blevins I do not come back and just repeat old things over and over, about people I did NOT personally know and had only spent a few hours with.

The problem with that is it was 2000 before any photos were shown to the witnesses - by the FBI. I will attach the photo they used and you tell me what you think? The in 1998 the FBI dismissed him with prints alone. The 2000 viewings by the witnesses was ONLY because I went PUBLIC! Otherwise I do not expect they would ever have been shown pics. Attaching pic! that quote looks pretty clean, you sure I wrote that See what happens with this new system - our goofs are here forever if we don't catch them first or someone pop in before you can review the post. Everyone. Go back to the post before this one - I fixed it and got the photo attached! Note I make my post so I don't loose it and then go back and check it for errors and add the photos. So give me a little time - please - I am just an old lady trying to do what young people do all the time. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

Mrshutter stated: "If Cooper had a long record of arrests and incarcerations, it would not be hard for the FBI to figure him out, once Weber was made a suspect. For example, they would have had numerous pictures taken at different times to show the Cooper witnesses, and none of them have actually identified Weber as the hijacker."

At the time it was the only pic I had of Duane provided by the brother that I gave to the FBI in 1996. It was distorted as where the other photos he sent which showed Duane standing near a outlook on the Pacific. The other pics I acquired later, other than those that had been made during our marriage.

The 1957 if they sent him back to Ohio - I understand that one. He had done the time and his probation was based on the Ohio State letting SanQuentin to serve it concurrently. When he violated the probabtion and was arrested in Fl in 1957 - yes, the then sent him to Ohio. The 1949 one is the thing I question because he was sentenced in Ohio and then he escaped from an Honor Farm. So they must have caught him and then he finished his time behind bars and not on the farm - or it could have been visa versa. I have NOT seen that record at all. But, I bet it is one of those you have....I need when I feel better to try to down load these. Interesting they had a second article on the Treasure Isle thing - that is what helped me sort the 1957 one out. Then I went to the notes from the brother and that one made sense Like I said - it is 1949 that bugs me. I do know that it was war time and lots of the prisoners were assigned forestry work, fire work, road work, digging ditches - ALL kinds of things. Duane was young and healthy so you can bet he did a lot. It is how he knew WA so well. That has to come from the encarceration at McNeil. All the family could tell me is that he was NOT there very long as an uncle made arrangements for him - that Uncle lived in Chicago and had a summerhome in Fl - at Treasure Isle. That Uncle was Chemical warfar and helped to develope the Chemical Warfare. The called him back to duty and he did that duty as a civil servant - at the very time they were investigating the WA balloon Bombs. Duane had told me about the Balloon Bombs and so did the brother. That was so early on in my search and all I had was notes taken on the phone with a brother who was hard of hearing. The hearing problem advance to the point he could not hear me over a phone - why I made arrangements to meet with him in 2004 while we were at Loma Linda for treatment. Can anyone even imagine spending most of you youth and young adult yrs behind bars or confined? Duane was the BABY of 3 born to change of life mother. He was a problem child in school - remember the breaking of windows and the piano down the stairs thing as a 8 yr old. That was a lot of pent-up anger about something. I believe some where along the line they did shock treatments or some kind of treatements on him...but that was never mentioned by the family - just a wild guess on my part because of the card he had from the San Morenon Sanitarium. That could have been around 1943 after he went back to CA.'s and it fits. They tested a lot of things there during the war. NO one keeps an old thing like that with the picture of the sanitarium with a name on it unless it meant something. After seeing the pictures of Duane as a young man - I still think he is this guy. Second one from the left. There was a second pic of this same guy but with a different name. The sister had told me he had been placed in a program around 1943 in CA by friends of the family - she didn't say he use a fake name, but that kind of thing was done all the time back them. Take a look at the pictures - after seeing all the young pics of Duane. I still think Duane is that young man. WHY? Duane showed me that picture around 1985. ! That is when he told me about the 1st from the left being a jumper and that he knew these guys. He said a picture of him was in the book but that page had been torn out. I remember this like it was yesterday! Remember I was unaware of Cooper at that time - We had moved and remodeled the home on King Christainsen Rd (I remember the address). We were standing at the door in the Kitchen. I never saw that book again. This was the same time frame the NorJax book came out and I didn't know what it was about. The book went poof!

What I have is just a little different and there is an adendum on the bottom. He was NOT sent back to OHIO in 1956 - He was released. The OHIO thing was cancelled. If you are referring to how the Fla arrest at St. Pete in 1957 came down I don't know. I never found out where Duane was sent from St.Pete. If they sent him to Ohio or it they sent him to CA. But he had already served the time concurrently in CA with his SanQuentin/Folsom stay. Therefore what they did with him regarding the robberies in Treasure Isle was unknown to me. Since it is difficult for me to retain information that is not in writing right in front of me and it is just something I read on a post I cannot refer back to - I have difficulty following and that is the discrepancy. Since he was on Parole in Ca in 1957 serving the balance of the Ohio sentence and allowed to do so in CA because of the compassion thing with his mother on her bed. He obviously violated that and they sent him back to OHIO from Florida. But was he prosecuted in FL for the 1957 incident at Treasure Isle. Shutter stated: Jo replies: The crime was in 1957 - so I do not grasp what Florida did. Are there 2 arrest record for Florida. One in 1949 and one in 1957? This is too confusing for me to try to sort out like this. What is this 1949 Fla arrest you keep referring to? Perhaps I need hard copies I can sit and study.

That data on SanQuentin/Folsom I have and it has been studied and they did RUN concurrently. This included his escape from the Ohio stent from which he escaped. I did discuss this matter several months ago. Since his mother was in 1957 on dialysis with the same disease Duane died of - I have no confirmation other than the family that this was a compassionate suspension of the old outstanding warrant. He was released and sent home to MOM. I have a letter from the brother describing and incident that happened in his mother's home after Duane was release. The brother found Duane had been bringing his LADIES home and that something of MOM's was missing - the brother took a baseball bat to Duane. That was the last time his MOM and the brother ever saw Duane. The father had died while Duane was in prison and that was the basis of the compassion shown, but Duane violated parole and took off to Fl to Treasure Isle where his Uncle owned a home. This is in the family record that the MOM kept until her death - without looking it up I believe she died in 1958. She logged everything. The items the Brother kept were given to a Great Niece who will not share the files she was given. She did not see a ledger but, she has floppies she put in storage. She is young and has not seemed to be interested in sharing these files even though I and another party offered to have them converted to disks at out expense. She has a active life and is not very co-operative in this matter. My impression is that there is private information about other member of the family she does not want shared. That would be her father and her grandfather and great uncle and other members of the family. Since all of these records are prior to 1958 - they seem insignicant outside of information that my be there on Duane. The brother before he died did copy many things and send them to me and had something to show me when I went to CA in 2004. The sister's heart attack resulted in that visited being terminated just as we finished having dinner with Duane's brother and his wife. This brother was the one with a personal connection to Tosaw and that was what our discussion was going to be about. At the dinner table he asked me about Tosaw and I told him I didn't like the man. He told me about his & his wife's relationship with Tosaw and Tosaw's sister. He asked me if I was aware that Tosaw was also a private investigator. What he had to discuss with me and show me had upset the sister and she went into the hospital while we ate dinner. I never found out what the brother had for me. But one thing that was spoke about was that Duane had had parchute training. I never got to see the documentation. As the events would go the sister died and then the brother's wife died and the brother died within wks after his wife died. This all happened over a relative short period of time. I did not push and the brother could not hear me over the phone (WHY we arranged to meet when my last spouse and I went to Loma Linda University for Proton Radiation). The brother and sister in-law were very gracious and when I went with them to the hospital - the sister agreed to meet me. I will never forget her response - You aren't that woman who was with Duane when he came to my house. I had tried to convince her that I was not over the phone and thru letters - but until that day she had not seen me. She reached for my hand as I reached for her - and we both smiled. "No I am NOT that Woman" I had tried to tell her over the phone but she didn't believe me. She would write me a nice letter after that - begging me to not go forward with this as it was so embarrassing to the family. She begged me to leave the past in the past, but after her death I would persue it....this was a VERY PRIVATE family with a lot of SECRETS. My impression was Duane brought a woman to her home in Modesto in 1971 - she thought I was that woman! Note the note about the Army and Navy coded numbers supposedly from Cooper was mailed 12 miles from where the sister lived in Nov. of 1971. Those numbers Duane had written down in the back of his memo book - and old metal one. During the early part of the investigation I noted this and contacted Himmelsbach, but no one seemed to link it. I had remembered what Duane told me about that strange set of numbers. It was his army and navy in code. Those were supposedly the numbers in a note sent from Cooper to the Reno News. I spoke with a man there, but they could find only where it been reported, but not the original note. The FBI ignored me! You put it together yourself - if you were hurt and you had a sister not too far away - one you could trust - what would you do? Now you know why I must persue this.

Bob YOU DID not make the FOLLOWING POST - JO WEBER MADE THIS POST: Yet you make an addendum to the post that made it appear I said what you did. This is unacceptable behavior and typical of the way you act. It is how YOU try to confuse issues. The night clerks response to the prison photo of 1966! May 31, 2013 "Hello Jo - By sending me those photos , you have reconnected me to my memory of the person that I met so many years ago at the Rodeway Inn on airport way PDX . I truly believe now that the authorities involved in this 'missing person ' case must be covering up a more important incident of national security or corruption by not wanting to acknowledge all the facts presented to them over the years. I am able to testify under oath my firm belief and resolve that "John Collins"-, "D B Cooper"-, and Duane Weber are all one and the same person. " John Collins " signed the guest register I personally handed him at the front check in desk! The FBI and other authorities questioned me for at least 45 min showing me descriptions of "DB" taken by witnesses. You have shown me many photos of Duane Weber as your husband . In all of that and more, the overriding fact is that absolutely no trace whatsoever of "DB" other than some money has ever been found !! I have given my sworn /notarized statement to the Portland FBI office and been told simply 'thank you'. I do not understand the incompetance of our supposed # 1 police agency in regards to this case. To this date , I also have not been contacted by any of the so-called self proclaimed money/fame seeking experts on Cooper . I believe the real truth needs to be told to the public about this case and the sooner the better. The legend will live on for eternity,but the truth dies with the people involved. Jo , you may tell everyone / anyone what I have said here that has an invested interest in the real story of the infamous D B Cooper , hijacker. Do it while your still able !!" The garbage you posted is below and it is NOT appreciated that you made it APPEAR I (Jo Weber) was saying this. Finally a glimpse of truth comes shining through the smoke and mirrors. Strike up the band. Here is an innocent bystander, like 'Janet', who stands up and tells it like it really is. Just like what I am doing. Put that in you pipe and smoke it you incompetent cover-up screw-ups! Eventually your house of cards will become 52 pick-up. OOPs! You are playing with a loaded deck, so..... 62 pick-up. McCoy says, "Bite me, I'm an infamous movie star!"'. JO now states: You BK are one SICK puppy! Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

TWO PLACE AT ONCE! I have the San Quentin files but NO pictures nor the details provided by Mrshutter, but there is a detail with the item referred to as release date. EVERYONE here knows where Weber was in 1957 - WHERE WAS He? Well, someone found the news ARTICLE FROM A ST PETE NEW PAPER - WEBER HAD BEEN ARRESTED THERE FOR A CRIME! HIS PICTURE WAS IN THE ARTICLE. JULY 29, 1957. He definitely WAS NOT in San Quentin in 1959. Hope you guys understand this IMPLICATION. It is unknown where Weber was in 1958 and 1959. I nor others found any record for those 2 yr. He does not appear on the calendar of the records I have until Canon City Colorado in 1960. Where was Weber detained or was he set free or did he escape after the arrest in St. Pete on July, 26 1957 and until 1960 when he was arrested in Colorado? Weber's background is so massive, I don't know if any of us (not even the FBI) can unravel the Past of Duane L. Weber. This is the same with his escape from the Columbia Honor Camp and we have NO idea were he was then. So part of 1957, 1958 and then 1959 - unaccounted for. We know he ends up in Canon in 1960. Still 1962 until 1966 unaccounted for. The records for the 40's are reading the same way. Release dates and probabtion dates....being on probation is of course not a release date...the release date is what is recorded. When I see some of that stuff Mr Shutter has - released then I can try to question those. Sometimes as above a release date didn't mean diddly crap back then - probation was not monitored (if they got arrested again was the only time they got the attention of the authorities). Perhaps back then they didn't have to check in with their probation officer! Who knows? For a fact I know in 1962 he started to use the name John Dusty Collins and was eventually arrested with that name in 1966. I was able to track him around the country with the "wife" of the times I do not know if there was a marriage certificate, but they did have to legally divorce, before he married the last one. My understanding on Georgia law when the divorce occurred that she had been declared "common law wife" per a Georgia ruling. The next marriage 1972 to 1976 was an On again and Off again thing. He did not live with her but for short periods of time - on again and off again. This woman HATES Weber with a passion - I expect she is deceased now. She sued him 4 yrs later and got his renewals of over 12K the had built up with the company. She could only get about 9K and that was in 1983 if I remember correctly. Duane's friend - who was his friend from 1973 until his death and one who keeps in touch with me knew nothing of Weber's criminal background....other than Duane talking one night after a"few" drink to many that he had been in some trouble in the past. The friend said he never discussed it and that Duane TAUGHT him how to sell insurance. They worked together and were best buddys for yrs! This person - just could NOT believe all of the stuff I had about Weber and now there is more! WOW! Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber
