Geeze - I have more than you do, but I don't have your words to do it with. Ask those who know me and have seen what I got - I have way more than you do. I guess it all comes down to who's sword is sharper. The FBI agents have told others (individuals besides myself) that Christiansen Is Not Cooper and the same goes for Weber. This information is second hand from 2 different souces who HAVE been able to sit down with an agent. I do not believe both sources are lieing - but in the case of Cooper - it usually is who has the sharpest sword...you have your words...I have my emotions and my personal involvement.

What I said or tried to convey: Repeat of first paragraph; The last dollars the FBI will spend on this case is to archive it and place all the documents in one place - Washington, DC. As far as the FBI is considered this case is being Official Closed. Sluggo: You missed the point all together of what I am trying to say. They will blackout or destroy every name and or lead ever presented. ALL LEFT will be the RAW facts of the crime (or what little they want the public to know). The secrets they have kept will NOT be in the files available to the public. I understand they will NO LONGER investigate anyone in regards to this crime nor will there be anything available other than what someone can get by physically going to the location of the files that they do keep. ALL supsect files will be destroyed. All investigation reports will be destroyed. Such as hotel reports and witness report - one agent who did several of these interviews did NOT take the 1st written note. Witness testimonies will be sealed forever and/or destroyed. What will be left will be useless. What is left will be up to interns or maybe someone who just tosses things because they do not understand the importance of the report - hotel registration for example..

The timing is correct, Guru. The statue of limitations will have run out. In fact that is all being done now. Look at all the Book dates that have been pushed back! The last dollars the FBI will spend on this case is to archive it and place all the documents in one place - Washington, DC. As far as the FBI is considered this case is being Official Closed. How do I know? Don't even guess - let's just say a "snitch" told me. Perhaps all of these writers out here are already aware of this and why they delayed their books. Soon the files will be available thru the FOIA and anyone will be able to study them...the government will use these files to Make money and let the public do the investigation. Many of these files will be destroyed or black out . What the government will not destory will be useless information. Again RECORDS destroyed just to protect NATIONAL SECURITY! When they finish their project there will be no files of any value on this crime. Every dept. of this America has been corrupted. There seems to be no end to all of this. The public is powerless to stop the atrocitities commited in the name of Democracy. Destruction of the Norjack files is appalling. What is in those files that they find so necessary to destroy? Yrs ago the CIA approached a man whose story I did not believe and told him to cease and decease his activies regarding Cooper, because it was matter of National Security. I didn't believe this man and now I know why he has never released his book - which was written YRS ago. His book is purportedly going into print now. I had been told the man was "sick" just as you guys call me "sick" and "delusional". Perhaps he is the only one who got it right...he just didn't have "ALL" of the story. Others have called this man a "con" of sorts, but maybe he really knew too much. I didn't believe some of the things he told me - NO, I am not referring to Knoss. This man has been OFF the radar for yrs., but he knew he had stumbled onto something...and when he tried to expose it - It was a matter of National Security! Now his story can be told and every crack pot in the US can make up anything they want about the Skyjacking of Nov 24, 1971. He only had PART of the story...and I had the other half and now the records that could prove it are being destroyed. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

QuoteSheridan Peterson spent a lot of time in China and even made some jumps there. Pete is the oldest skydiver in the history of Chinese parachuting. He was there for the Tiananmen Square protest too. Pete does get around. Sheridan Peterson and Richard A. Peterson - ARE the related? You know why I am asking that question. Richard Peterson was a smokejumper and he also had the necessary experience.. being active CIA from 1960 to 1973 gives him the connection and actually makes him more of viable suspect than Sheridan. Frankly - if I had to place a bet right now - my money would be on Richard Peterson having a connections to the incident before I would tag Sheridan. He had the background and the accessibility and Duane knew Paperlegs. The ex-wife verified Duane knowing Paperlegs...but not being computer savy until a few yrs ago, I didn't know how to check Paperlegs backgound and I didn't know all of Duane's background. I didn't know the things he told me in 3rd person were actually stories about his own escapades. Check out 1945 - 504 Capt. Wiley Cooper in charge of Parachute Maintenance. What is this? Just a little bone thrown my way and I haven't a clue what it means. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

I have explained this before - he is a veteran and had to come back to the states to have a kidney remove (I have forgotten how much the tumor weighed). He was at the Veterans Hospital in Portland. He stayed in the states for several months before going back. He has been unable to communicate with me for a while now because of where he was in China. He had to take a long train trip into where he could have internet communications. There are places in China that are still very remote and undeveloped. He teaches English. That is all I know. He had come to the states prior for a physical and they didn't find the turmor, but he got ill in China and the CHINESE found the tumor. He did not have the money to have it done there and came back to the states for the surgery and let Uncle Sam pay for it. Now you know and I am sure he does not appreciate his medical history being posted on the internet. I think he will understand why I finally had to do it. His last name was the same as one of the passengers on the flight - just pure co-incidence?

Blevins made this post prior to the Ariel Shindig:

The below post was by one posted by Georger after I told about witness reports in the Heisson area: Then he continued with the below report:

377 Stated: He is in China and I talked to his ex-wife (they are good friends). She said he is well and still teaching there, but well ingrained in the China culture. He was in a remote area of China - and the internet excessibility just did not exist. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

Blevins - did you not post this? In another post you even told us what hat you would be wearing? Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

On Grape Vine I just read a story that parallels the capabilities of Clive Cussler - with the Numa files. By the way - I just finished Polar Shift. Very surprised you would even stoop to do a Cooper book...but, you live and you learn. Others I have read within the past 7 yrs are Fire Ice, The Sea Hunters II, Raise the Titanic, Frozen Oddessy, Crash Dive, Black Wind. How can I trail the titles off? Because I kept buying books I had already read so I started a catalogue of authors and the books as I read them. This way when I go to a garage sale or buy a book from the Friends of the Library - I don't end up with a book already read. I donated the books I read to The Friends of the Library, but wihen I found an assisted living place which had NOTHING for the patients - but a very limited library, I decided that was a better way to deal with my gently used books. I even pick up books I would not read and out of my genre if they are in excellent condition and with the larger print or hard backs - just to take to the assisted living library. You see I am NOT all about Cooper, but I haven't been reading as much the last 3 yrs, because my eye makes reading very tedious as it does on the computer...left eye droops real bad. but he Dr. I went to thinks I would have more difficulties if she did anything to it because of the dry eye - Catch 22. I use Visine and that give me about 1 hour of computer or book time at least 3 times a day, I fall asleep most nights with a book and my lamp on - depending of the difficulty of the book. Seniors need to continually challenge themselves by reading books that have more substance in them rather than the short romance books - I tried to read one recently by Nora Roberts and I just do NOT like them. There is no story. My "light" and fun reading is James Patterson - but, I haven't enjoyed them as much in the last few yrs after he took on writing partners. He let Dilallo screw up his Alex Cross with the title of TRIAL. OK - Off subject Attention 377: Actually I came in to ask about the plane that was large that joined the search. I could not get the article to download from Sluggo's site. What I need to know - how long after the 727 did they use this plane. Was it in the air at the same time as the 727? I was unaware of any plane being in the area except the 2 chase plane and was told they actually cleared the air space. There was another plane (don't know if it was a 727) that was allow to go into Portland shortly AFTER the Skyjacked Plane was out of the area... While the highjacked plane was in the air - I am not aware of any other plane being in that air space other than the 2 chase planes...and another plane trailing, but I don't know what kind of plane that was...I do know the pilot made statements about the weather he encounters from Seatac to PDX. I read about some small planes going out - but it was ALL OVER by the time they got in the air..and it was dark. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

377 Stated: That is why he had to get to that hill Jerry Thomas claimed did not exist - the one I found while I was in WA last month. He didn't land on target and to get away from the area he laned in and he had to stay hidden...why he walked the power lines. With the Dickey he took out of the shed - he just looked like a rail or mill worker or someone checking the ground for BP. He had to find an accessible hill or to make transmissions from pre-arranged locations for the other person to find him. He knew exactly what he had to do to get out - he knew the powerlines and pipelines and the rails. This fits - the walk from the creek, the hill and then what he told me..."That is where Cooper walked out of the woods". Cooper was NEVER lost. Check the graves at the Washougal Memorial Cemetery - who was buried in 1971? Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

377 States: Jo Replies: What are you talking about above regarding the Hercules - they used 2 of those small planes so where did this Hercules come into play and at what time in this whole senario taking place Nov 24,1971? =============== 377 States: Jo Replies: That is the word my mind could not find "deserter". I have tried to figure out HOW the guys made this exchange in I think approx 1945 - BUT, I know NOTHING of things like this. Did Duane get hold of someone else's order and if he did how could that possibly work? Did he just impersonate someone without their knowledge? Again how would he do that? The reason I never pursued this to any serious degree is that it seemed so unlikely the government could be so lax. The other window of Opportunity was 1960. Note how different he looks from intake 1960 and release 1962. He shows me a place the guys trained in Canon City and then a place north of Ft. Collins (rocky plaines) and then the place in Leadville. I had NO idea until recently these places meant a DAMN thing. Then his connection to Paperlegs and when I found out Paperlegs was incharge of Paratrooper Communication in those place plus the Intermountain Connection - it hit me like a ton of brick. Everything he told me and showed me and the things the exwife told me about these places and his being gone so much. It took that July 29, 1957 articles out of St. Pete for me to put any validation to the things he told me and showed me in CO. Bet 99 regrets ever posting those articles! I want everyone of you to think about Duanes' abilities with COMMUNICATIONS - where did he learn all of this. Think about his handle "World Grestest Jock Carrier" THERE, is a message in that handle alone. I believe he was in that program, but I don't know how or why other than it was covert and we don't want to go down that road. His wife knew him as John Collins - so it was John Collins who was working with this group. The ex-wife ALWAYS told me she did not know he was Duane Weber until he was being RELEASED from Jefferson in 1968???? Sounds like bull to me - surely there was a trial and a sentencing - did the authorities even at that time NOT know he was Duane Weber? Is this WHY the FBI never allowed me to see the Jefferson file until it was put on line (after CARR posted Duane's history here). What you get on line is very very limited. I just want to unravel all this stuff and get on with my life...and I don't think it is possible without the co-operation of the FBI.

377 Stated: The CIA has done some wacky far out stuff (MK Ultra, remote viewing experiments etc) ) but I can't for the world see why they would have been involved in Norjack. It has all the earmarks of a real crime and none of a covert govt operation. Forget the conspiracy theory stuff. It is a dead end and a convenient excuse for not finding evidence. Jo States: Exactly what I KEEP trying to tell myself, but I am having a hard time getting behind closed doors...without help. Right now that is Ft. Benning files. Who was that Joker who pulled off a couple of months of training at the expense of Uncle Sam? ========= 377 Stated: And what about Sheridan Peterson? Jo States: What about Richard A. "Paperlegs" Peterson? Are the 2 Petersons related? If they are - there would be familia DNA. ======= 377 Stated: And what about Ted Braden? Jo States: Ted Braden was NOT the Braden who Waugh suggested. Someone else DUG him up. ======== 377 Stated: Jo, you seem to think the FBI was intimidating witnesses and trying to get them to change their story about seeing the NWA 727 over certain areas. Why would they care about those stories? What difference would it make? Cooper wasnt found so the witness flight path stories are kinda irrelevant. Jo States: Why are the witness flight path stories NOT relavant. Look at ALL of the controversay over the Flight path 39 yrs later? Different "specialist" keep altering it to fit their stories. It is what it is and what it was. ================== 377 Stated: I also question whether the witnesses could identify the plane type they saw given its altitude, night, rain and scattered clouds. Jo States: Not one witness claimed to identify the plane type by what they could see, but by the sound it made. Only one claimed he could see something behind the cloud layers. I live near 4 bases - I know the sounds. When a transporter does it's thing with a swoop over my house - I know that sound. I can tell you the difference between the ambulance helicopters and larger military copters. I can tell a fast jet from an regular passenger plane - all from the sound they make. I do not think I am that unique...if I hear one unusual close or sounding different - I will go out the door and look up. Unless the sound is out of the norm I seldom look up. What the people talk about is the sound of a large jet flying very low - not a fast chase plane and the chase plane would not be lower than the 727. Those small jets make an entirely different sound than a 727. =============== 377 Stated: Drop all the conspiracy theories and focus on the hard evidence. Conspiracy theories are rat holes Jo. Every time you get stumped you can blame it on a cover up. Investigations usually get nowhere with this method of analysis. Jo States: I am well aware that conspiracy theories are rat holes. It is not that I get stumped - it is part of the story. If I ignored these people and what they think - that also would not be a good thing. It takes only a few minutes to hear their story and their opinions. I only related what I was told. ============= 377 Stated: Still waiting for you to put Duane in a chute. A spoken remark near Ft Benning doesnt cut it. I wonder how seriously the Army was checking IDs in WW 2. There are so many authentic stories of underaged soldiers and airmen making it in and staying in. Jo States: Now that I am able to peg the yrs with the story and if they use the criminal records they have - the windows of opportunity are narrow. I have requested this formally in writing. It is a matter of records. They have been looking for Duane L. Weber - not whatever alias he used. Find the guys who were found outed (has to be recorded sometime somewhere). Reports had to be made and charges made or did the imposter skip before they caught him. Find the names and serial numbers of those guys and you will put Weber in a chute. It is a narrow window - prison time and age are two eliminating factors. I told them NOT to trust the McNeil record because I know he was else where. So they have to look at 1944- 1949. I say concentrate on 1945 to 1947. . Remember the contrast in his appearnce from in-take in 1960 in Canon City to out-take in 1962. Looked like 2 different guys. He is in the CO area from 1960 until 1964. After that he is too old for new training unless it was part a barter trade at Jefferson (the mystery records). They need to investigate "Wavy Green" as I never felt that was just a mistake by a FBI agent. How did he come up with that name? How would one go about doing what this guy supposedly did? Whose orders did he show up with at Ft. Benning ? If Duane traded places with another guy who was active duty the would not the other guy have charges? You just don't walk into a base and say "I am here for paratrooper training". One man was on TV program or in the News several yrs ago - a man who had done this. This guy "the confessor" was ill and wanted to get his life right with God. He was the guy who was supposed to go to combat and someone else took his place. What happened to the guy who took his place? He never named who went to Nam in his place. The TV confess after Duane died in 1995 and before 2002 - because I was still in the other house. Who was this man? What are the army's statues on the soldier who lets someone use his orders and change places with him? Look at Camino and SnowLine near Tahoe - We found NO record of a Duane Weber - but he was there and it is a matter of finding what name he used. These records are spead around the country and it would take a manual investigation. I had someone go to Camino and those areas - the records have all been spread out to other areas. We know they lead to WA and OR. . The guys in The Dalles who said Duane was the dishwasher at the Spillway Tavern - claimed he was AWOL from the Navy. Just how they knew that I don't know. I know Duane was discharge from the name on a Bad Conduct from the Navy in 1942 or 43. His parents move to CA while he was in the Navy, but where living in CA while he did his 3 months in the ARMY at Camp Siebert...1943. Don't have dates infront ofme. Camp Siebert is NOT far from FT. Benning. The brother had a family friend who reported Duane's activities at Camp Siebert as Duane had commandered an Officers jeep for an night on the town. So - anyone have any ideas - how you get into the military files. The FBI doesn't have time and I will do it, but it means getting permission to search the files and / or have access. Won't ever happen! . Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

Ok Scott, tell me was there never a really a Wing Swept Inn or did you change the name of an old hotel in the area? You get really weird sometimes. Hell, of an imagination and I am accused of being Crazy and Delusional. What do you really do for a living or did for a living - just curious? The hotel was what stirred my interest this time enough to look at the darn picture!

The men waiting for Blevins had some very good question outlined to ask Blevins because they believe him to be a fraud. YES, they are with a TV program! Question: Blevins didn't know the date of the Cooper anniversary, but he was letting everyone on DZ know about his appearance at least a month before the event? The Cooper Shindig always falls on the Last Saturday in Nov with the exception of one or two yrs. Still - Blevins talked about the event for a month - HOW and WHY would he miss it? Maybe PR talked it over and decided it was NOT a good thing right now. He claimes he is not here to toot his book, but his posts are not conveying that message. NOW FOR THE TRIVIA [RED]The Ariel Bar and Grill in WA was offered the backstairs of the US 467 before it was all cut up for scrap...but, it was going to cost money she probably didn't have in those days. The shipping alone would have been out of site.[/RED] I wonder how much of the fact and trivia we post here will be incorporated into Blevins book? We can at least hope he gets some of the facts correct. Should his book on Christiansen try to down play other suspects he looses. He has to remember that he is writing about a subject he never personally knew and it would be in his best interest to leave an open ending. I feel sorry for the victims - the men and women who have been pulled into this Christiansen story. I myself have told about people Duane knew, but I haven't taken them before National TV or put them in a book...Too much time had passed for me to try to get written statements (I also thought the FBI was investigating and talking to these people until 2000) and I wasn't looking or poking around for a "story". QUESTION: Folks since I do NOT want to read or go toFACE BK (I just stay as far from that as possible). Has Blevins embraced Knoss's story? Or is he there to toot his book? You can PM me if you wish - don't have a clue why I even care. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

I have been in contact with another witness who puts the plane right in the area East of Lake Merwin, Amboy, Kelly Rd and Heison. This makes 8 witnesses I have talked to or talked to their friends and relatives (a couple of these were deceased). This westerly flight path some of you are tooting did NOT happen. When you have 5 known sitings along Kelly Rd from just EAST of 503 and just south of Chelathie Mill who told their stories to the FBI and none were ever acknowledged. This last witness is of a firm opinion the FBI knows exactly where the plane was and the FBI or anyone else trying to convince the public the plane passed West of the actual route near Yale Lake, Chelatchie, Kelly Rd. and Heisson has a motive. There were according to 3 of the witnesses I spoke to many others came forward, but the FBI never acknowledged them. I was told they were made to feel VERY uncomfortable by the FBI and many DID NOT continue figuring it would all come out in the wash. Some of these people were AFRAID to speak up and they are telling why they did not pursue it in 1971. In the late 70's and early 70's there was TAKING of land in that area (I don't understand what this old lady was talking about and I am just repeating what she said). The state or the government could just declare the land was theirs for whatever reason...and this is no longer being done. I do know there is a legal process to do this, but what she was referring to sounded more like "threats" coming from FBI agents. I heard this same statement from 2 others as to why some witnesses did not recontact the government. So far every witness is CLAIMING the plane was lower than 5K, but none of them are qualified to make that statement. I always explain the layering of the clouds making the planes seem and sound closer than they are...2 of them have argued they "know who how high that plane was" and it was not more than 5k around the Amboy area and S.E. of there near Heison. Yes, the plane did gain altitude upon approaching the Vancouver area. But all of these people saw the SAME and or heard the same plane. All of this fluctuation of the route and the altitude of the plane has been stated only to keep the "talk" away from the focal points. A myth that was created to in my opinion intentionally become fact...as it almost had because so many of the witnesses have died. As for the hand cars - again another person told me about this . In 1971 the mill was still open and there was a private rail in the area -- there was also a private logging bridge above there with dirt roads - hauling the wood in and out to the rails. There were rails NOT on the map (owned by the timber company) in that area and have been removed. The bridge was destroyed due to a flood. I need to get this old timers accounting on tape. Anyone got 5 K the can spare? I need to go back to WA! Just joking I am not physically able to make the trip ever again...but, I am NOT being quiet and I will continue to investigate until the FBI coughs up Cooper or I die. The more I learn the more I am coming to believe the FBI had NO jurisdiction over this and WAS dictated to by the CIA....then I fall into the Knoss class! I chose to try to put room between myself and that type of theory, but the acquiring of recent information (other than what is stated above) is starting to SCREAM "involvement by concealment" by our own government with the Washington FBI "instructed", but NOT instrumental in this activity after the fact. Damn - now I start to sound like Knoss, Bruce and others with the CIA and other "secret stuff". I really "try" to steer away from that hoping for better co-operation from the FBI, but like the skydivers - things just pull you down and there is nothing you can do about it ... believe it is called gravity!

Then you shouldn't be repeating it. You don't have a source, you don't know the name of the alleged 'show', you even admit it might be a hoax created to 'entertain you'. This is the most likely explanation. Since you already admit that what you were told could be a rumor, then it's obvious your assumption about those programs writing off Christiansen as a hoax was very likely made up...BY YOU. Your credibility has suffered enough. You are just making things worse on yourself. Next you'll be claiming Bigfoot was the hijacker's accomplice on the ground.

All his Eggs in one Basket! The phrase Duane Weber used over and over and over. One he learned to live his life with. Study the photo I posted of Duane standing by that swimming pool. I knew Duane's body and I have pictures of him in bathing suits. When my daughter saw that picture for the first time after I acquired it - she asked -"What does he have under that Jacket?" Duane did NOT have a broad chest nor a barrel chest. The magazine he left in that safe deposit box explains how part of the money went out of that plane. The frontal pack they never found may also have been utilized....as a package. Tina only saw him tying something around his waist - what the container was has NOT been revealed. Did she see the cords around the outside of his jacket and overcoat? If she saw him tying "the package" over his jacket and coat - would that make sense to any of you jumpers? Did he remove his coat and what exactly was he fastening to his body? Remember that money did NOT go out of that plane in a Whitish Bank Bag - that bag was placed in something else...it was too clean and not soiled. If guys can jump with 50lbs of the stuff the guys jumped with in DuBop - Cooper could jumped with 20 lbs distributed in 3 different packages. He had some kind of chest container under that jacket and someone he knew very well made him a waist container - similar to a money belt, but more on the line of what we now call a Fanny Pac...the rest was in the container provided by Tina or the FBI.

The FBI did NOT listen to me yrs ago and they will probably NOT listen now...but, here I go with some things I tried to tell them and no one would listen.

Blevins - I heard you were a NO SHOW at the shingdig. There was a TV documentary crew there and they were NOT History Channel nor did they have any connections with Cook. I understand they made an inquiry regarding if your presence there. You missed your big chance for more exposure. Exposure is the last thing I want and why the FBI was NOT contacted until the last day of my 15 day - fact finding trip. I was in WA and OR from Oct. 14 to Oct. 28. Since then I have spent hours and hours on the phone following up with individuals and others I could not contact while I was out there. With the new information I found while in the area - I advanced my search beyond the narrow scope of what had been done in the past. I had been lied to about the areas I had claimed to have seen in 1979...areas I had been told did not exist and certain establishment and the names of the owners. They did and some still do exist and not figments of my imagination. I went to senior centers and historians - 90% of the individual I spoke to where not told the REAL reason I was researching the back ground of this boy and the man. I tried to stay under the table as much as possible. Since being home my search had exploded and I have had to reach out further even though it had been requested by "others" that I "be quiet for a few more wks" because of some extenuating circumstances. Since I have learned NOT to TRUST "others" I continued to do my own thing. The day of the Ariel shindig - some of my "enquiries" had already arrived on Friday afternoon and some I am sure arrived on Sat and will be on their desks on Monday. This was far more extensive than I had done before, because I had been concentrating on WA and North OR. This time I hit areas with these "enquires" that resulted from my trip and what I learned while I was there. This time the enquires where a little more directed to the areas they were sent to with specific enquires about the possibilities of where they might find the information on this "boy". Lots of enquiries went to ID and other areas of OR I ignored before. Some of the went to historians of certain areas....a list I acquired on my trip. Until someone finds a deposition given by one of the passengers - I will maintain the money DID not go on that plane in a whitish bag visible to the passengers. Can you imagine the panic this would have set off - if the passengers saw this large Whitish Bank Bag going on board (the size of more than 2 N.Y. phone books). It would have created a panic among the passengers and they would have caused a commotion trying to get through the open doorway. It was enough the passengers witnessed the chutes and front packs going on...some individuals would not have been aware of what they were, but there were several individuals who had boarded in Missoula and they knew what a chute pack looked like. One man sitting in first class - was a jumper...one whose name was well established. I know what I would have done. I would have got out of my seat and headed toward that stairway and out of that plane - they would have had to held me there physically to have kept me on that plane. Does anyone realize this is a factor the FBI has never mentioned and all the media did was publish what the FBI told them. Only select witnesses ever gave information to the media. One would have thought the media would have been all over the witnesses after they had being questioned by the FBI. They weren't just questioned by the FBI - they were directed and instructed by the FBI.... Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

This dumb broad agrees the found chute was Nylon and not silk. I have taken old silk out of the cedar chest and it is very fragil. These items were wrapped in tissue paper and are approximately 70 yrs old. Maybe the papers in the cedar chest permeated some kind of acid. There were Old Albums and letters and news articles kept there also. A wedding dress made of acetate and nylon from 50 yrs ago also had a problem. Think it was created by something else stored in the chest. I have seen vintage silk dresses that were well preserved. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

Orange Stated: I agree. That's why I find it odd that someone basically calls another poster an alcoholic yet gets no censure. 377 Stated: Point taken...then again if it's a crusty ole skydiver being called that, it just might NOT be a personal attack, but instead a statement of fact! ==========

Blevins stated: Jo states: The public request for help came after CARR was on this forum and so did the Dan Cooper Comic "thing". An FBI agent taking credit for information provided by someone else? Perhaps you would like CARR or his PR to explain that one. Also note the FBI site did NOT ask for help from the public until CARR did the Dan Cooper Comic thing and after being in this thread.
