I get it now. You're making a joke, right? A harried ticket agent at Podunk (Portland) International Airport made out a ticket to a passenger and tried to make his writing look like the writing on an obscure French comic book... Or...the comic book people decided it would be a cute trick to change the comic later to make it look like the handwriting on the ticket. I can't think of any way to respond to this. Sure, I like The Twilight Zone. But this is just TOO much. Blevins - you and I are on opposing poles, but you are so correct in your response to Jamie and all of us have to really really question - What Planet is Jamie On!. At first glance you think this is just a mixed up kid. Then as he progresses and everyone tries to help him - it appears he is an adult child looking for attention. Even when we put facts in front of him - he just doesn't get it. I do truely believe he is someone that is here to cause nothing but confusion and chaos. This is just a game he plays. My opinion was this at get go, but everyone needs a chance to be heard. After so many of us OFFERed help and asked for information that might help us pull what there might be together for him, but he consistenly refuses. What information he provides has NO substance and there are questions he could and should answer in a PM and not in a public forum. I have tried and I can do no more without his help. Since I cannot trust him to NOT publish a PM or email - I definitely will not share with him private information that is privileged information NOT for public knowledge. I was thinking another planet - perhaps another universe altogether....but I like your option better. The Twilight Zone. P.S. Have you ever read David Dun's Necessary Evil. No connection to the above subject, but bet you a dime to a donut, Jamie thinks it is about him. Seems like it is in your genre - I usually keep 2 or 3 books going at one time - all depends what I feel like on specific days.

Robert 99, Are these quotes from Himmelsbachs book (the writer got several things wrong per Himmelsbach)? All and all it is still one of the most accurate accountings we have of the actual skyjacking. Perhaps the book is quoting the scheduled time and not the time Bohan's plane actually left. It just DOES not sound reasonable that they would release a plane on the same vector 4 minutes behind a plane traveling at 200 knots with a BOMB on board. This seems UNREALISTIC to a non-pilot. Safety was more of an issue than a scheduled flight being on time. To a layman what I have just read sounds like a major disastor in the making...there is a plane in that vector going 200 Knott and it has a bomb on board....plus I had been told the other flight was not sent out until after the Skyjacked plane cleared OR or was approaching OR. What I read might have put Bohan's plane right on top of the skyjacked plance considering the altitutude...perhaps Bohans route was to the West of the vector. Well, I am talking about something I know NOTHING about. One of you guys make some sense of it so a layman can understand it ... all of you know what I am trying to say.

Skywhuffo stated: I just read somthing I found interesting if it is true. Of the 118 passengers 72 were children? Can anyone confirm that is true? Jo Replied: Hold on you are not talking about the skyjacked 727 of Nov. 24, 1971. There were not many individuals on that flight - I have the names of everyone on that flight someplace and I assure you there are less than 40 names on that list. Whuffo what Planet are you on right now? Or did I miss something? Skywhuffo replied: That is why i asked. This is in a newspaper article on the last page of the FBI website for Cooper. And slow down on the smart ass what planet am i from comments. I really don't feel like responding and being #3 banished. Skywhuffo and others: The remark about what Planet are you on right now (in blue above)- is simple a remark I have said to my children and grandchildren and neighboring children when they would come to me about something just totally out of whack. The remark was NOT meant in a negative sort of way - but one of surprise "Where did that Come from?" One I remember right off the bat: There really was 5 goats in my yard...escapees from a neighboring piece of property! I have never read anything about a plane full of kids, but maybe they are referring to passengers dropped off on one of the legs. Seems like there was some mention in another article about some kind of school sports team - but they were NOT on the plane when it was skyjacked.

Ditto for about 15 miles as the crow flies - takes 26 miles to drive it. In my case I know the approach runways coming from the Bayside of the Airport. I really think that woman saw the plane that came in after the Skyjacked plane was in OR. as it approached to land. Low Clouds can create a lot of optical illusions...and maybe she is giving a false accounting. Still what is important to me is her exact location on this map. It is difficult to believe the Skyjacked plane would come in low very low anywhere near the PDX approach on the Vancouver side which is where I have the impression she was located. Someone must have her old address..I do not believe her story and it is the wrong plane or someone else has some information wrong - like ME.

I've corresponded with Galen in the past and found him to be a sharp and open minded guy. I can't see him believing that part about "Janet" seeing Cooper on the 727 steps, which makes me wonder if there is something I am missing or some part of the story is being distorted. Still, Janet's alleged description of the flare following an arcing descent path caught my attention because it isn't intuitive and it is exactly what you'd see if a flare were tossed. You see it when skydivers exit with smoke. Galen isn't a dummy, far from it, so whats up with the Janet story? 377 Galen's name was chosen appropriately - a he can stir up a bit of Gale now and then. Part of that was him and part of that was the witness and part of that was the person who authored the article....too many yrs have gone by and often they like myself are influenced by others. I believe she may have been seeing the other flight going into PDX and what she saw was the landing lights...and perhaps a slight curve the pilot had to make going into the airport. It was my understand she lived in West Vancouver - someone get the darn address (I will mark it and report back). Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

I remember the article and she is a good interviewer - it was all by phone. At that time I did not have the pictures I have now and wish Hal was still alive. I spoke to hall Williams and Mitchell either as a result of that article or the next one she did. My records show ALL of this, but I have to dig for them and just don't do that anymore. I just say approx when such and such occurred. When someone contacted her she was the go-between and relayed information - it was up to me to pursue. She did another article after that one. The article above is the one that generated several leads. Individual who saw and/or heard the plane and the night clerk. I was able to visit with some of these witnesses when I was in WA this Oct of 2010. East of Amboy and south from there. You can actually follow the leads and I marked approx location dots on a fantastic map of the area sent to me by one of these witnesses. Some of the witnesses I talked to have died since 2000, but there are still enough out there to make the map. If the Seattle PI would have individuals call in and or check their archives and peg leads on a map per the address the individuals had in 1971 - they are ON a track. There was a second fight to leave Seattle going into PDX with a more Westwardly path until it was to make its approach to Portland --- this is usually the plane that many in Vancouver thought was the skyjacked plane...and why all the confusion. Have no explanation for what that Salt Lake City woman saw. If anyone knows the exact location she lived in I would be glad to peg that one on the map, but give me her name to place by it...I will need the address she was living at. Since some of the roads have changed - actually need for it to be very specific - if possible. In fact if anyone has other sitings - get them to me...then lets see what we have.

Why would you say that? What did I say that is full of shit! Or was that post meant for Jamie or was it actually meant for me? OH! I get it you think I am full of Shit because I think Jamie and Carr could be one and the same. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

You have to be a mental case or someone wtih a vendetta! You can't change the FACTS of the case - The ticket agent wrote the name. Now you are claiming to recognize the Ticket Agent. I have asked you for some very specific information that you have not provided, but you even evaded that. I didn't ask for this information to be disclosed in a post - but, privately. You refuse to take genuine help and now I think you are getting a charge out of all of this attention. You are treating this thread like a game! Frankly I think you are someone here for only one purpose - to trash this thread so NO one will want to read it. Maybe you are Agent Carr taking revenge under another avatar in a new location. He is in the DC area and being an FBI agent he can create - connections. Note: His replies to my posts - sounds like someone we all know...what in the world did I say in my post about the DNA that cause him to ask me about a vendetta? What do you think Guys!

Jamie's post below edited to be brief: If you are grateful for this outlet then respect it. You cannot change "facts". Certain things are subject to possiblities, but the Ticket "thing" you keep harping on is a DEAD ISSUE. The age descrepancy is doubtful...28 yrs of age versus approx 45 is a long stretch. When you made one specific statement - you said a mouthful "there is no more fun here". If you are here for FUN, this is the WRONG PLACE to be. Most of us are here to actually find an answer or answers...and not for FUN! Perhaps in that statement alone you summed up your father's life. Claiming to be Cooper was a game and one he knew created absolutely NO JEOPARDY for him considering his age. Old bar jokes - about being Cooper were very Common if the person was not Cooper. Ask Guru! He's Not Cooper! We do have a little fun with Cooper, but we are 99% serious in our research and sharing of ideas about subjects and the crime itself. Weber has been worn out, but if the DNA is disqualified it makes him one of the most likely subjects the FBI ever had. The FBI has never been able to prove the validity of the DNA evidence they think they have and have not produced the only conclusive DNA they possess which is the cigarette stubbs they suppposedly lost. Another thing is more "lost evidence" - the drink glasses. I do not know for sure, but didn't they use glass in 1971? Had I have been an agent in 1971 the first thing I would have done was confiscated the drink glasses - finger print every passenger and crew member and rule out their prints. What is left? The remaining unidentified prints probably belonged to Cooper or an employee who cleaned the glasses or put them in the racks. This loss of evidence is suspect to me - because it seems to me so simple. Wonder if the FBI ever compared the DNA on the clasp against - FBI employees who handled this over the 35 yrs prior to their extracting DNA?

377 stated: I proposed this same senario over and over - but, no one swallowed it. I believe the Govt. provided the skills by providing certain individual with certain employment they wanted secret. Perhaps these Coverts (or whatever one wishes to call them)where promised a "clean slate" if they did a "job" for the government. If the Govt. did NOT keep the promise would this not create a grudge? Such as offering a criminal (Weber) a clean slate and then turing around and granting a "commutation of sentence" to John Collins and NOT Duane Weber. If the individual was as desperate as Weber was in 1971 - he may have used those skills to do the Skyjacking. The Govt. may not have known who the culprit was, but I think they did and their hands were tied. What if in the process of doing his "duty" for the goverment someone he loved was harmed. This also would create a grudge. (I know of two heart wrenching things regarding those Duane loved.) I proposed this early on, but NO one would swallow it. Even in this thread - I have suggested this and been rebuffed for doing so. It is the only logical explanation of WHY Cooper was never "caught" or identified! Perhaps the goverment trained him so well - he was able to hide his identity - leaving NO prints and perhaps leaving something behind that only his family could identify in the event he died. Such as a tie - he believed belonging to Robt. Kenney stolen 2 or 3 wks after he was released from Prison under the name of John Collins. I have never discounted the fact that here may have been more than one individual involved. Oh, well! I have proposed this so many times I am sure everyone is sick of hearing it just as I am tired of telling it. Makes me sound like poor Jamie.

Not sure you stated his age and I didn't take the time to figure it out - but 28 yrs old and Jason is claiming his father was Cooper! That didn't take guts - it took unfortunately an idiot attitude. This speak volumes about why he kept just hammering us with trivia. I have been reading and couldn't read myself to sleep tonight, so decided to see what was happening here. I knew you had said his father was born in 1943, but I didn't even take the time to check out how old the man was. Believe me a 22 yr old stewardess would have nailed a 28 yr old passenger. NO WAY was Donald Cooper - D.B.Cooper. I can't believe we let this go on for as many post as it has. He needs to say 'I'm Sorry for the intrustion and the lost of your valuable time " and excuse himself from the discussion declaring his father was D.B. Cooper....even a idiot would know how ludicrous that was. What a waste of time and I was actually feeling sorry for him. I had been told he was a muscian who was trying to make a name for himself by declaring his father was Cooper - geeze he is not even in the ball park. Call me Sick, Call me delusional, Call me old, Call me a liar, Call me a teller of fantasy stories . Jason is all of those things to boot. I just feel stupid for not getting it 3 pages ago - that it had to be spelled out for me. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

Jamie - NO one is condeming you or claiming superiority. We have not missed any KEY facts because you haven't presented any. Your father may very well have been involved in the Skyjacking, but the FBI NEEDs facts you seem to NOT want or NOT be able to present. You can talk and type till you are blue in the face (I have been there and done that), but without something no matter how minor it is that connects your father to the crime - you are talking to yourself. Everyone is willing to listen, but NOT to ramblings and you take the offensive instead of working with those who have offered their help. You lash out and misinterpert things said to you - as has been the case with me - twisiting private information to make it sound sordid and not at all how it was presented. This is NOT Twitter or Face Book as most came here legitimately to search and share ideas. Study your fathers past - surely your father had friends and relatives back in the 60's and early 70's. You need to go talk to those people - it took me yrs to locate some of Duane's past and still there are yrs I can't prove what he was doing and yet like yourself I think I know. That is not enough. It is NOT your existence here that offends anyone, but your refusal to accept to help even privately. Sluggo and myself (although on opposing sides) have offered to help. You have made a valuable contribution you are totally unaware of...at least on my part, but it is NOT something I will discuss in this thread. As for curiosities about the crime - read and research so you can make a valuable contribution. You are up against some highly trained and very well educated individuals in this thread. Sluggo was an adopted child (something that if you took the time to study this thread you would know). He is well educated (probably genius level). I have met this man - he spent 2 days at my home and we talked for several yrs before that. He and I agree to disagree, but you don't see or hear the 2 of us throwing out the kind of abusive remarks you have made. He over anaylzes and I go on impulse. Read the Books Sluggo suggested - in fact I intend to find a couple of them myself. I also have an excellent memory, but I do NOT remember anything from the time I was 2 or 3. My first memory I believe was when I was 3 - but, then maybe it is a story the family told so many time that I thought it was my memory. See what I mean? My brother who is very well educated claims memories from early childhood. If your father had those discussion with you - there is a chance he also did with others.Could your mother have just been vindicative (the marriage was short)? Your father was really too young to be Cooper, but that does NOT mean he didn't have something to do with it or conditional knowledge of the crime Read back into this thread and the closed thread - I have not always been treated kindly by some and I am considered Crazy and dislusional. Do you want that kind of classification? I have been called a lair and fantasy story teller by one individual - yet the paper work I kept and an radio interview done yrs before proved other wise. Take others up on their offers to help - out of the public eye - then when you have the amunition you need, you can come back and say "See I told you so." They tolerate me only because I am an old woman and fondly refer to myself as having Dumb Blonde Sydrome. Some of them just feel sorry for me and wish I would hurry up and die.

"Now we have a tangible possibility that Duane, the Worlds Biggest Jock Carrier, actually comunicated with Jamie's Dad whose CB handle has yet to be published." Correction: WORLDS GREATEST JOCK CARRIER not biggest. If I have said biggest before that was in error. I still think from things the ex told me and the things I knew about Duane - the probabliity CB's or some type of communication was used. Does anyone know what "Jamie's" mothers name was and her previous married name along with her maiden name? Since Jamie has not provided me with this - the thing I am chasing is hard to do. I will not make these names PUBLIC knowledge, but I have a hunch based on things I was told...by xx and xxx and xxxx. This hunch if it plays out it might explain a lot of things for Jamie. . What I am chasing may have absolutely NOTHING to do with Jamie, but needs to be investigated. If it has NOTHING to do with Jamie then it is a dead issue. "I was hoping he would be born on Duane's birthday." This is an exact quote from a third party. Jamie's birthday is June 17th and Duane's was June 18th. NO, Duane would NOT be Jamie's father - and I did NOT suggest this. Jamie's father was his father and that is very evident from the position the Father took the day he held Jamie in his arms when his life was falling apart. I hope Jamie realizes I am only trying to find solutions and I really don't like even going public with this part as it creates the opinion that I am trying to make Jamie part of this or that I am trying to be part of Jamie's story. NOT at ALL. This is something VERY real and has been a heart wrenching search for those concerned. Jamie could be a fraud, but if he is for real and really wants answers to his childhood and his past - there is a slim chance what I know might be part of it. He needs to at least let me rule it out....if he is sincere in the things he has told us. This would be something specific he could actually prove or disprove. I ask that all of you encourage him to talk to me about this and there are those in this thread and who read the thread that do KNOW I DO keep thing private that are private.

Smoking99, You must be a PI. FBI, CIA, Retired Law Enforcement, News Reporter or work for the Gov. in some compacity. The information you compiled about one of the "subjects" is relative difficult if not impossible for most laymen to obtain as quickly as you did. I only know ONE person who was able to lay their hands on that much information that fast...he had good connections. Snowmman was a good researcher, but even he would NOT have been privey to the specific information you obtained so quickly. The verbal tag on your posts is a dead give away. "Yeah, I know. But with over 20,000 posts since this thread began in some form or another since 2001, what HASN"T been talked about already?" Now that took a lot of reading and a lot of research! I made my first post about Cooper in 2000 on a forum and almost 10 yrs later I am still at it. Had I not have believed with all of my heart and soul Weber was Cooper or he knew who was I would have given up yrs ago. What substained me was the fact that I held in my hands the airline ticket, a SeaTac Parking ticket and the Bank Bag and what he told me and showed me.

See I told ya! Really a good collection of pictures, but I was told that there were NO articles on Cooper this yr in WA or OR...this collection of photos was a real surprise. When I saw that Sluggo had posted - my reaction was "OMG, Sluggo to the Resue" Sluggo the voice of Reason (most of the time). I almost did not turn my computer tonight and now I am glad I did.

Jamie stated: "although apparently it was written by the teller according to what the FBI told "Jo", it bears far too many similarities to my fathers signature. I think the FBI is wrong or deliberately lying about this." Jo Replies: How do you get "what the FBI told Jo" out of my post. This information came from an inteview with the ticket clerk. NOT me and not what the FBI told me. It may even be in the FIOA papers - not sure. That ticket clerk was interviewed by some of the best journalists in the business. I would have to sort thru 10's of thousands of papers to find where it was presented. I expect Sluggo who is our man about the facts may know where it came from. Jamie, I am saying this real NICE and polite: Taking someones post to twist it to fit your need - is why other regulars are NOT here and I am the only one hanging in other than 377. I keep hoping you might post something that someone will sink their teeth into, but so far nothing. You will not answer questions that might facilitate others in helping resolve the story you have been told by others. Jamie, I understand you are a musician trying to make a Name for yourself. True or False. No need to address the handwriting comparison because it is a null and void subject. Cooper did NOT sign the ticket or write on it.

I had a couple of conversations today that are puzzling. Very Puzzling and I have NO idea where they are leading or if they are true. 1. Cooper smoked Pall Malls and not Raleighs. 2. The FBI does have the prints from the drinking glasses. 3. Even the drink Cooper ordered had been reported as not the same given to the media. Sounds like someone blowing SMOKE, but things have gotten so ridiculous lately....even this might be true. I just know "It will be a few more weeks". Remember my telling about Doug Pasternak's interview with Rose, the artist who did the composites. He told Doug about something he was unable to adequately portray in a composite that all of the witnesses would agree on. I have and will always be very protective of this information as it is NOT my information to give away and information that NO one would know unless they were one of the witnesses in contact with Cooper providing a description to this artist. 377, are you positive Eagleeye is NOT Cooper? How did Snowmman obtain such information. I have NO idea what is going on and then maybe I do. I do believe the FBI or someone is getting ready to make an annoucement regarding Cooper and that this announcement will be done in the public eye. My ex-husband was NOT Cooper. Okay I will buy that because I only have one ex-husband and I divorced him in 1971. No one has to tell me he was not Cooper - 5'6'' with red hair and freckles. I heard a lot of other things today, but nothing that made sense. My processor (my brain)-is over loaded and I have a very important appointment coming up in the morning. I am sure I will have to make some decisions about my future health and I am not sure what the options are going to be. Maybe people are coming out of the wood work because they know I need answers now and not later...maybe they are preparing me or maybe they are using me as a tool for their own benefit. All of this I am sure will play out - but, NOT sure I will be around when it does. Later is coming sooner than expected.

DAN COOPER left NO HANDWRITING SAMPLES - he retrieved his ONLY (handwritten)NOTE FROM FLORENCE AND DICTATED to her his DEMANDS TO THE PILOT. Have you been working on a time line? Even the yrs before the crime. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

No samples of Coopers Handwriting: The hand writing on the ticket was done by the ticket agent. This was explored when I thought I had handwriting that might match Coopers. Cooper left NO handwriting samples on the plane. The only possible and questionable handwriting came from notes the FBI received thanking them for their hospitality. Probably not actually from Cooper. DNA Agent Larry Carr called me on his way to a press interview - wanting to tell me before I heard it on TV. He stated "they found multiple particial DNA's". He used the word excused and not excluded. Now I understand they are saying they have microfilia (not spelled right so someone else will have to make the correction) DNA from the edge of the clasp. 377: By the way, I didn't know there was a report out yet about EagleEye Petersens DNA.

Thank you for the advice about the possiblities of being sued and I hope you are right. Greed is terrible thing. I thought I made a diplomatic post but again it is taken out of context. Such at the statement below: I stated: "The very things Jamie and Orange oppose when I post are the very reason this thread existed at all. If it was not for confidentiality and co-operation and the sharing of information - NONE of you would be here. NO ONE would need any ONE ELSE." Then Jason spouts off "she has even claimed this forum would not exist without her, and that it somehow lends her special privileges'". That is NOT what I said - I have never claimed this thread would not exist without me and there is NO way the statement and plea I made above would reflect his interpretation. Jason needs to spend his time telling us about his story rather than attacking everything I say. I will repeat myself one more time in this plea to STOP all of these ridiculous postings for no other purpose than to trash someone else. I have NOT attacked him - I have tried to help. I did NOT say I was responsible for this thread - but it exists and serves a purpose with the confidentiality and co-operation and sharing of informations is possible only because this thread exists. The constant attacks will cause us to loose this valuable tool...and then they will no have a place to have their voice made known. Jason stated: "add to this, that this most recent series of ranting posts is immediately following my blocking of "Bob Kloss" on facebook. who seems to have a posting schedule of that immediately following when Jo takes a break here. oh yeah, his story is the same as hers except he claims to be one of the fellow conspirators with Duane, thus backing up Jo's theory". Everyone here knows that I DO NOT AGREE with Knoss and that I do NOT go to face Book. The first time I ever went to his site was after Jason came to this thread. I made one visit, but only observed and did NOT post. The thread is aware of my previous contact with Knoss. My relationship with Knoss is not an ongoing thing. I have called him about once a yr. to see how he is doing. It is totally paranoid to think my posts in this thread have any link to Knoss. Knoss and I agree to disagree - in a kind and nice way. He wishes me well as I wish him well - there has never been a cross word or attack between the man and myself. I expect it will be that way till one of us expires or one of us is proven to be wrong. I have said before his story has a threads of truths. I listened to his story as I am trying to listen to Jasons, but Jason chooses to be antagonist toward me rather to spend his time making posts that count and might contain valuable information. Might this be the case because maybe he only "wants' to antagonize or to stir-up trouble rather than take his time to produce information everyone is waiting for. Jason we want to hear your story NOT your rants toward me. This is not FACE BOOK or TWITTER. This is a rational group of intelligent individuals who really want to solve this crime, Seems the only thing that will make you stop the attacks is for me to STOP POSTING! It is senseless for me to spend this valuable time defending myself....against the unrational statements you make regarding anything and everything I post.

It is not me squabbling - I have to defend myself because every time I make a post - Jamie or Orange pounce on me. Makes it sound like I said horrible things. If I am attacked I will defend myself and that is all I do lately - defend myself. No one seems to understand that it take a group of unified individuals to do this if it can be done. I keep trying to get them to talk like civilized people rather than rant and rave at me. I get accuse of jumping on Jamie's bandwagon by Orange when I am definitely NOT doing that. I have tried to help, but they turn that help on me. It is ridiculous and childish. Just because there are other suspects I am NOT going to erase my memory, nor will I LIE about anything to incorporate their story into my own. I have been trying to sort out Jamie's story, because there is something there - but, it is not exactly what he thinks it is. Perhaps all of these guys knew each other and maybe I have found the common denominator. I can't disclose it without privacy which was envaded when Jamie made my PM public. NOT working to gether is exactly the same mistake the FBI made. Left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing. There was not a problem with talking off the radar - when the Super Slueths where doing their thing...yet I am supposed to reveal EVERYTHING and make myself liable...perhaps Jamie has nothing to loose. If I loose what I have (tied up in a lawsuit)I will spend my last days in a Medicare ward rather then the comfort of my home. I would not last 2 wks in a facility because they can NOT feed me. Nor do I want someone telling me when to go to bed and when to eat. I called several place to make arrangements for my care when I can no longer do it alone - NONE of them can feed me - I would have to have my food catered....therefore I have to have care at home. If Jamie causes my monies to get tied up in a lawsuit - what little life I have is gone...and he made that a possibility when he posted that PM...he never considered what consequences might result. NOT all things are public knowledge - and I was offering up what I know to help. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

Jason stated he was here to share true and accurate information to the best of his knowledge and to learn more about the case. Jason also claimed he was not seeking Financial compensation or ownership of his story then he turns around and claimes that others may think they deserve a pay-off. Then he addresses the subject of the truth - which all of you know is what I seek. Then he asks "What sort of pay off are you seeking?" and in his own words made this statement: "if it's truth, then it will be impossible to obtain if you stifle and silence all other voices". I have to look at his reactions and the reactions of other posters - What have I said or done to Stifle or Silence his voice? NOTHING! I have tried to help and the thanks I get is a kick in the teeth verbally from him and from Orange. I am treated like I am trying to get on his story when I want only the truth...the same as Jason (Jamie) claims. The flip side of this is in a later post Jamie grants everyone permission, but me. If I wanted to use his information I would have the same rights the rest of you claim in regards to public knowledge. Sounds like children in the 2nd grade. We can either work toward one goal - the truth or go our own ways. I am trying to stay in here - not for the story, but for the truth. Why, I found it necessary to make this post.

he PM read: Is you mother actually your birth mother? I assure you I am NOT trying to connect his Father to Duane. As I said maybe I am connecting dots that do not connect. Think about WHY his father singled out Jamie when he went "off" that day! I and some other individuals have been looking for a child "given" away around the time Jason was born. The child was NOT Duane's (I do not know who the father was). Why I wanted to know if his mother was really his mother....and maybe why his mother was so guarded. Since there was NO mention of bad teeth which was evident in the photo taken in 1980 - maybe that is what the FBI didn't make public...maybe the REAL Cooper was missing teeth or had a space between his teeth or maybe he wore a bridge that he removed prior to making the jump. Something never mentioned by the FBI - NOT one person made a statement about the condition of Cooper's teeth. If his fingers were yellowed from Tobacco as someone stated in the past (we never knew if that was a statement made by the witnesses) then his teeth or what teeth he had may have been yellow. I was doing no more than trying to help - the same as you guys. It is natural for anyone with a suspect to cross reference the past and see if there are any connections...how else are they going to investigate the situation. Is it all ' he said and she said 'and with no one being about to provide any proof. If I were to put binders on everytime a new suspect came up there would be no reason to be here. How many suspects have we explored and how many of you absolutely seem to know NOTHING about the first suspect named Coffelt whose past also pareled Duane's. All of you had binders on when it came to Coffelt. So far Jamie has offered nothing that can be checked out to connect his father to Cooper. I am waiting to see what he has - as it stands his story is very close to the story I have told for 14 yrs. At least I had a chronology and we knew where Duane was at specific times...it is the unknown yrs that stifles me and you and the FBI and everyone else. Along wiith DNA results.. Donald's mysterious trip to look for work at Thanksgiving. Duane's wife saying she separated from Duane the 1st of part of Nov 1971 and went back to him in Feb. 1972. Jason being born in 1970 and a child being given away in 1970. I know the family has looked and looked for that child and never found him - but, he existed. The baby was "GIVE" to friends according to 2 sources and I understood the family lived in N.C. or S.C. or AZ at that time. I have been trying to reach the family to check the Birthdate - I know what I wrote down, but I need to verify it. Now you know WHY I asked him is he was sure his mother was his mother. A simple yes or no would have done. Obviously he has had some doubts himself. The birth mother had chose a name, but, she never knew if it was used. She never knew who her baby was given to. The family has been unable to locate the child because there are no formal records...all efforts to locate any files have failed. Call it a shot in the dark - but it is what it is. Nothing I have contrived and nothing I expected. The father's reactions when he took Jason and left the siblings during a squabble - maybe a baby was just more convenient, but he obviously loved the child.

I couldn't verify it if I wanted to. Private Messages are just that and the Moderation Staff doesn't have access to them. We do not now, nor have we ever, had the ability to read other people's Private Messages. This is why when you guys complain to us that somebody sent you something via PM, we can't really do anything about it because we have no first hand knowledge of it. If you do no wish to receive PMs from people, then simply turn it off. Thank, Quade - I though maybe you guys had access, but the P.M. is copied and saved - for my protection. I do not make PM's public - as a courtesy and because it is the right thing to do. If one fears a PM will be made public - it really limits how others can help anyone asking questions if the information is of a personal nature...and/or confidential.
