For 17 YRS now I have been but a voice in the wilderness as there was NO one there to hear me other than the wildlife. . Duane is wearing the damn Tie Tac in this picture! I found out today - I have to go back to surgery and life is not fair. 17 yrs and NO one listened. Why? I wasn't young and didn't twist my butt in front of the cameras. I didn't have the money to go to WA and confront the FBI. My calls went unanswered and with an FBI agent telling me Duane Weber was NEVER at McNeil and he was never in the ARMY. I had the documents in my hands. 17 yrs and for WHAT! I have been treated like dirt by the FBI for the most part. Even you guys 50% of the time made fun of me. I have been called every name in the book...by some. Well, I am not crazy or delusional nor am I a liar and Weber did NOT lie to me. The Footprints have been there all along. I have had 2 surgeries since May and now I have to have more - life is not fair. Everyone is looking to be hailed the King of Cooper World - the one who solved the damn thing. Yet, I put the proof in front of the FBI 17 yrs ago. The FBI didn't have the sense to come in out of the rain - or someone was just waiting for me to die so they could claim they found Cooper -whoever they wanted him to be.

Cooper will hit the charts this Christmas by way of Nashville. By the way NOT one person has commented on the tie tac in the 1970 picture of Duane Weber. NOT ONE! Foot Prints: Now with all of these pictures of the tie tack - the next head lines will be that D.L. Cooper had that tie tac....but, how does the FBI explain the fact they have ignored the picture of Duane for 17 yrs. Now why doesn't that agressive FBI agent who supposedly showed one of the witnesses a picture of D.L. Cooper show the same witness the picture of Duane L. Weber in 1969 in a bathing suit? Jerry Thomas has claimed to have shown pictures to "other witnesses" and they supposedly stated Duane was too heavy. What is heavy about this pic made in 1969 and the one made in 1970 wearing a tie tac just like the one the FBI has in their possession. Jerry - Why don't you use these 2 pictures?

Knoss SCREWED up the thread with the post below by doing a triple reply - and it has us ALL screwed now. It is too late for him to fix it so Quade will have to do it. Then those of us who modified our post to force them to fit will get messed up or this will continue until the next page and then probably self correct.

The author Patrick Worden has a copyright on a story he wrote regarding the things I told him and thur his own research. He made some errors and this was in 2001. I don't know how to contact him for permission to post the story. He mistakenly stated Duane Weber died of cancer, but that is ok. Since he is not available for permission I can only make simple quotes from his article. I do this to maintain the basics of my story have not changed: Quotes from his article: 101 Follow-up written in 2001. " “I’m Dan Cooper,” he said. The name, unfortunately, meant nothing to Jo Weber." "Like most Americans, Jo would have instantly recognized the more famous alias, D.B. Cooper. Also like most Americans, she was unaware that “D.B.” was a misnomer". "When she learned of the Dan Cooper/D.B. Cooper confusion, she became convinced." "The FBI profile of the unknown skyjacker made a few assumptions: he was likely to have military experience, probably had a criminal record, and was certain to be familiar with the Pacific Northwest. Duane Weber served in both the Army and the Navy, and did time at a prison in Steilacoom, Washington—just 20 miles from SEA-TAC airport, where “Dan Cooper” received his ransom." "Ralph Himmelsbach, the FBI agent who led the Cooper investigation from 1971 until his retirement in 1980, is as convinced as Jo Weber." "all this has led Himmelsbach to strongly believe the case presented by Mrs. Weber". "His open mind is not shared by today’s FBI. According to Jo Weber, they gave cursory attention to the information she provided, quibbled with her over her late husband’s service record, then ceased investigating—saying that the evidence was inconclusive." He goes on in 2001 to state "NO evidence will be found until you actually Investigate" (referencing the FBI). His article even pokes at the FBI about being "stung" by its own bundling and public image. Note this was stated in 2001. I have NO idea what he was talking about. I love it the way he talks about "letting sleeping dogs lie and letting cold cases remain cold to avoid more embarrassement" a reference to the FBI. Until Patrick stumbled upon me or I upon him he was convinced Cooper lost the money. He maintained it was up to historians and hobbyist to bring resolutions to the 1971 incident. Little did he know that 11 yrs later I would still be trying to find answers and that his prediction actually came to past with this thread and in the form of super sleuths. He then states this and I will quote it: "Mrs. Weber is seeking no reward, no recognition. Just answers. She wants nothing more than the truth about her late husband". He wrapped up with: "So do we, Mrs. Weber. So do we." In 2001 - I was seeking nothing, but the truth and there was actually more weight given by the FBI at that time to Duane being Cooper than Marla has or thought she had. Yet, like Coffelt, any suspect connected to anything that might endanger "national security" went HUSH HUSH really fast. The FBI just never expected me to keep on keeping all of these yrs. The FBI thought I would just fade away or if they were lucky I would die. Almost 17 yrs and I am still fighting the battle and NOW with the finding of a FOOTPRINT - it is obvious the FBI DID not investigate Duane L. Weber the way they should have.

Georger, Have you even looked at the tac Duane is wearing in this pic? It is an old polaroid pic and this is the best I can do with it! Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

Geeze Farflung we have gone thru this before - now we are running repeats.

The SkyChef match book I told Himmelsbach about during the first few months of communications with him. In the drawer Duane kept Mickey, the piece of plexiglass and the gold chain with the medallion - was a book of matches....also with these items was the items I played with while on the phone which I now know are parts to a parachute. I have told this for yrs and yrs. The book of matches I asked Duane about one time - he told me not to throw them away. I didn't know the meaning of them. The book of matches in the drawer were a lighter blue than the ones pictured. Probably faded from yrs of storage - in the place he kept them before putting them in that drawer. After he died I didn't know what all this stuff was. I don't recall what I did with the matches - probably threw them away. Sold the chute parts at a garage sale and that is when I was told what they were. I still have Mickey and the plexiglass (a souvenier piece I guess - a cut piece of an airplane window). I have taken my pill, so this is all I will do. Remember this I have told for many yrs that Duane and his ex worked at an airport for 2 wks - they delivered meals for a catering service to the plane. They entered the plane from the aft stair way. This connection was in Denver or Phoenix or Tulsa or Tuson since they spent time in all of those place along with Atlanta. My gut says Denver because that is where he took me to a place and where we could see the airport and told me the names of all of the planes and never told me how he knew that much about commercial planes. All so remember that I met him at the Hilton at the Atlanta Airport. I do not know under what names they had this employment. The ex told me that they did work for a company in CA., but that was not mentioned in the list given for SkyChef. You see guys I never lied - and now you know where Mickey Mouse comes from. Mickey Mouse has a name and that name is Billy. I know I am not making much sense to any of you, but I had to make this post. Goodnight! P.S. Will try to post a pic - remember this pic - I thought it was just a mark on the pic - it is NOT it is the tie tac and it was Duane's birthday present to Duane.

I see an individual who does not bear any resemblance to D.B. Cooper.

So explain the tie clasp on the wrong side of the tie. I remember tie clasps left on ties (clip-ons)...just so they could take the tie off and on real easy. My first husband wore clip-ons because when he first started out on a debit in 1961. If he was able to get by without the tie he just folded in on the seat of his car. He was an insurance saleman - and his work often meant having to work during hot days - but the company required a tie. Lots of service people did this also. Another explanation would be someone else put the clip on the tie - like a wife. I do not remember if I personally ever saw Duane wear a clip-on - he had LOTS of ties. I believe from pictures he did wear clip ons in the past as work he did was in service and he also worked an insurance debit under the name of John Collins in the 60's. When I met him he had moved on in the insurance business and worked by appointment only and in a management capacity and therefore use REAL ties. So we are back to the damn tie!

What photo? Matt Look back - my computer went down before it finished sending. It is there now. I maybe the only one to see it - I just thought it ODD - the resemblance betwee this photo and that of another subject. Note that this photo is poor quality and is a scan of the original without any alterations. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

To ALL: I was using this photo a moment ago to send to someone when I noticed something. I am not going to tell you what it is, but want to see if ANYONE else sees what I see. Study the photo carefully and remember photos that have been identified per the FBI or perhaps othera pointing a finger at a specific subject.

Forgive Me - I made a mistake in this post and NOW the NUT called Knoss is USING this to further his neurotic behaviour. I stated: "Also remember I have talk to many many individuals involved in the very beginning. I was told or read (do NOT remember the source) - that when the delay in landing was made that Cooper was agitated. He was told they were having difficulties with the chutes - Cooper made a remark to the stewardess about McCoy (McChord)being less than 20 minutes - but, I don't remember where I heard this or read it or who told me". PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR PROVIDING THE TROLL WITH A GRAIN OF SAND HE WILL USE TO BUILD A MOUND! I was talking about the Base McChord I knew I did not feel well enough to post - therefore I should have refrained. You guys I believe knew what I was saying because you read the rest of the post. NOW - the TROLL will forever use that post to perpetrate his agenda which is to defuse, confuse and destroy. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

[reply I'm telling you...the hijacker was local. South King, North Pierce counties. Maybe even Kitsap county. One of them. Take your pick. Blevin, you will do anything to try and make money off of your book. Cooper WAS NOT local - perhaps YOU should go back and read a post Georger made - which stated a detail I have stated to the FBI since 1996. The FBI never investigated Duane Weber in detail or not at all. WHY? OKAY, guys I am out of your hair for a few days. I am over my limit and I have said too much as it is.

Thank You 99 - I would never have found this - but it was right here all along and I had verbal access to this same infomation 1996 to 1998...long before I ever knew anything about getting info on a computer - just $100's dollars in phone calls. .

I do not have the data bases or search capabilities you guy have. What I do have is my memory or what is left of it. In the beginning of my search and in the written articles on the news and tv reporting the McChord remarks were made early on. Also remember I have talk to many many individuals involved in the very beginning. I was told or read (do NOT remember the source) - that when the delay in landing was made that Cooper was agitated. He was told they were having difficulties with the chutes - Cooper made a remark to the stewardess about McCoy being less than 20 minutes - but, I don't remember where I heard this or read it or who told me. I no longer have reason to search for these things or to argue about them nor to harass the witnesses. I am getting old and just have NO reason to continue to squabble about the trivial and thing NO one remembers after 40 yrs. I concentrate now only on the foot prints and what can be proven. By doing this with only 5 focal points progress finally came. By stepping away - my mind was free to remember things I thought were gone. The memories came and then the dreams came - crazy dreams. A dream is just a dream unless it is a nightmare and still with no meaning. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

Exactly how I feel. These guys argue such ridiculous stuff. The flight path gets changed over and over. Now they want to change history again. What Seat Cooper sat in is of NO consequences and will not solve this case. The exact fight path the plane was on might be of help. I got off the bus for awhile, but even if you just read this thread is like an addiction. The race was over in 1996 - but, the man who raced thru the finish line was invisible to the world....because of stuff like this.

Recall this post? No one here offered help - but, help did come. First there is Fire and then Water and then Cooper is on the run. Something important is supposed to happen soon, but I think I have been having nightmares and dreams during my naps. Maybe I am CRAZY!

The plane seating changed over the yrs and different lines made their own vairiations. Since I do NOT know the seating arrangement used in the 727 that Cooper Hijacked - there is only one way to know where Cooper sat. When the plane was on the ground in Seattle - Cooper asked or closed several of the blinds. Why I do not know - I doubt a sniper bullet would penetrate the windows of the plane and there was no way to know the position of the stewardess. All of this CRAP is senseless. Take the Dan Cooper Comics - foreign comics were also sold on the campus of Jefferson (a federal prison) by none other than James Earl Ray. J.J. Maloney mentions this fact in one of his writings - he had been encarcerated in Jefferson himself. I spent a great deal of time without a computer prior to 2000 trying to find JJ Maloney. Yes later when I found him - he had died 3 months before. Alway a day late and a dollar short. WATCH this GUYS! Is the above a truth or bait to create yet another myth or story told by those who lurk within the mists of this thread.

I have not even bothered to read the thread - have been very very quiet for a long time now. I have not read anything posted for about 2 plus wks. Knoss - you have LOST touch with reality! NO one ever even discussed Cooper Comics with Duane and I doubt Weber even knew of their existences. I only read this last post of yours and nothing for over 2 wks now. FOLKS, IT IS TIME FOR THIS CRAP TO END. KNOSS HAS MADE A JOKE OUT OF COOPER...AND ALONG WITH IT THE TRUTHS. KNOSS ONLY MET WEBER ONE TIME IN HIS LIFE IF AT ALL! WE - (mean NO ONE on this thread) has found a foot print. I knew it was impossible for all evidence of Weber's past in the N.W. to be non existent and my guys found the foot print. NO! I will not disclose this until it is verified and then NOT to the FBI. EAT your heart out. Will it prove Weber was Cooper? I am sure the FBI will say NO, but it does prove they did NOt investigate Weber or information was covered up. BYE! Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

He dropped a name and then left us. No explanation! Maybe he got Called Out or maybe he is just taking time to cover his ass by weaving another segment to his story. I think ALL of YOU better get your act together - some shit is getting ready to hit the fan. Could just be more fabrications or another book being written or maybe even a movie or a new suspect. Did contact some people about investigating some specifics I asked the FBI about and that I told to Himmelsbach, but do NOT know if the information was ever shared with Active FBI. This WAS my major problem - I thought Mr. H. was relaying everything I told him to the Active FBI. If I put Duane Weber (or what ever name he used) in OR, WA or ID - bet the FBI doesn't even give Duane the blink of an eye. Of Course not, the FBI would NEVER admit they SCREWED up or dropped the ball. Maybe Knoss is right - maybe it was a conspiracy? 40 yrs is a long time not to solve a crime that involved so much publicity and has supposedly been revisited by the FBI mulitple times.

Very surprise you know who has NOT come back to engarnish his story about Karl and to explain who and what karl was. Any "cheap"senior developments in N. Georgia, lower TN, Northern tip of S. Carolian along the Georgia state line . Everything I find is over 189K plus the associations fees. Seems like the real estate values have NOT taken a beating in those area as they have in my area. If this surgery was successful enough to allow me to get moved - I am OUT of FLA. Should have moved when Jim died, but lingered too long and the value of the house is in the toilet and the homeowners insurance was $3200, plus last yr. The home is currently 13 yrs old - that is a BAD sign, but my health and conditions were not allowing me to move forward in the last 3 yrs. Do NOT want to spend what is left of my life - taking care of a yard, but I want about 1500 sq ft - prefer a cottage/cabin type with a garage. Do NOT like to share walls - so condos and duplexes are out of the question. Also do NOT want to be in an area with LOT of kids. Perfer a Senior complex. Don't want to sell the house and not have a clue where I am going. I am attached to my "things" so I have to find a a home on the other end. The family has been NO help. Moving out of FL because of the cost and the HEAT & SUN - I can't take it anymore. Haven't found anything I can affored in the computer searches I did.. Snowmman - HELP! Rescue me! I need to find a new home. I know I am supposed to know all of this being a retired realtor, but I have been out of since 2004 and LOTS of things have change...

Really think he went to the Enquirer? If he did - I got a gator in my backyard! YEP, sure do. That gator don't like anything messin around this territory. I didn't even see a snake this past yr.

refrigeration. Specialised in Kelvinators, but had a "large" Cooper comic collection. Moreover he came from Franco-Alberta. Geof Gray probably interviewed him, on Tom's propeller theory. All just rumors. Do you have alligators in your yard? I guess this means Matt emailed you - good. Yep, I got an alligator in my back yard for REAL. He was a baby about 3 yrs ago. He hissed at me - I didn't know it was a gator until I spoke the developer. Now, he is a good size - because I found his prints in the marsh along the spring that connects the 2 small lakes...but did NOT actually see him this past summer. I haven't worked in the yard for a couple of yrs now other than a little light work. Maybe Knoss needs to enlighten us about the new name he threw out at us? You think?

Knoss stated: Matt, You seem to know what he is talking about. Who is Haapala and who is Karl from Oregon. I never heard either one of the names in connections with Cooper or Oregon. I was introduced to a man by the name of Carl - do not know how it was spelled, but this was an Alabama resident. P.S. I have an old negative for which I found no print. A bunch of men sitting around talking. Maybe I should retrive it and have it printed out. Did Karl have a mustache in the 50's? Was he heavy set?
