Nexus: PLEASE tone it down! Your snipes and critical tones are unnessary to make a point. Your talk about Meth is uncalled for. Your being critical about the posters and the forum it's self are uncalled for. If you consider this thread and posters "black" water then you need to go else where. 377 recreated a communication by Walkie Talkie, but it was unrelated to KC. It was about communications during the hijacking (go back and read this thread in its entirety - then come back and be civil to everyone here). We have our disagreements, but those who are rude and abrasive do not stay very long. We agree to disagree without the attitude or the abuse. Our conversations are not juvenile, nor do we quip about meth. Your posts are the very kinds of posts made previously that got the thread in trouble way back when. Your posts present some very good points - but you can do that without the atitude. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

I’m surprised that someone (maybe georger) wasn’t all over this! Ok. Damnit! It did not escape my attention. I assure you. Made a post or two about it ..... waaaay back. Then let it drop from public view. Snow said a few things about it. It's yours to do! Go for it! I think Ckret even commented about it. will check my notes ... Jo posted a bit about it ... it got a lot of people's attention. Ckret put a lid on it (I say smiling

Nexus - you are beginning to sound like our Snowmman. You come in making sense and then you go off the wall and it takes the entire conversation out into left field. Please keep the conversations sane and within a realm of reality. This is just a personal request because the crazy talk gets everyone out of sorts. A sense of humor is ok - but off the wall - it only causes a lot of disparity among those of us with a sincere interest in finding answers.

I think Blevins got suckered by Porteous. He is just trying to save face...because he dug a hole so deep he has to keep trying to build a ladder long enough to crawl out on his own gracefully. Porteous is not going to reach down and give him a helping hand. Blevin never met nor did he know Christiansen. ALL he has is hearsay. I definitely think that Christiansen's financial status is inflated way over. if I were Blevin - I would be asking for court record regarding the dispersement value of the assets. Was the the value of the coin collection done by a reputatable dealer? Try selling a coin collection and the you find the REAL value...estimates for insurance purposes are very inflated. Seems like the value of that coin collection get larger and larger everytime it is mentioned. The brother or other heirs could get a real shock with their taxes considering the inflated value of the collection. I presume they inherited this collect by will. Sounds like they will have lots of problems to deal with after the History Channel gets through. Was the coin collection declared and by whom on their taxes...after it was inherited or is it still in escrow? The History channel had 4 suspects to choose from - did I read that right? I would have thought the History Channel would be a little more guarded in their selections - but, then maybe things won't come down exactly like Blevins thinks or hopes. I am very aware of how they use little of what you think they will use - and how much ends up on the cutting room floor. Why, I refuse to participate in these things. 2001 was enough for me....I felt like I was made an idiot out of by the media, but Jerry Thomas had a hand in that with his misnomers which I can NOW prove. Wish I was young enough and strong enough to travel that area again and record what I saw and were I went - but development gets in the way...should have been done yrs ago. At least I have my memories - the way it used to be. I know that I am not "miss remembering" as someone was so kind to say rather than calling me a liar and fantasy story teller. I know the truth even if no one else does. What I don't know is if there was anyone else or if he did this alone and why? I am convinced Duane Lorin Weber was Dan Cooper, but what about the rest of the story? I expect that there will be many stories told even beyond this point, but without the assistance of the FBI regarding key information they have kept secret - the truth will never be known. WHY? Now that would make a good movie - not who Cooper was, but WHY Cooper was never caught or identified. Truth is NO ONE cares anymore about who Cooper was - the question most want answered is WHY and HOW the FBI missed this one. It is no longer about Cooper himself - it is now about the search that has ensued for almost 40 yrs and how this major crime evaded the FBI for all of these yrs. Even if the FBI announced tomorrow that Duane L. Weber was Cooper - would the public believe it? Probably not! Now watch Blevins use my green paragraphs to cover his ass. Remember you read it first here today - posted on October 31st, 2010 at 5:41 Pm Central time and composed by Jo Weber, the widow of Dan Cooper.

Sluggo stated: First, I am REALLY glad you made it back in relatively good condition. I last heard from you on Saturday. About Tuesday I decided to call you and realized that I had erased the Cell # when I did a mailbox cleanout. Jo states: You would never have gotten me as I don't know how to get the voice mails or to answer the darn thing. All I can do is call out. I deleted lots of voice mails because I was unable to open them. Remember that I bearly know enough about the computer to play around and do some searching - I leave the serious stuff to guys like you. ================== Sluggo stated: Now, I want to talk about something that you need to understand. Your analytical abilities (techniques) are what make everyone get in such an uproar about your assertions. It is NOT that they think you are lying. (There is one notable exception to this, but their analytical abilities aren't that great either.) Here is an “indicator behavior” of this analytical flaw that upsets everyone (yes, including me): Jo States: It is hard to teach and old dog (old lady) new tricks. I am unable to be analytical because I am personally involved - I try, but it just doesn't work for me. I am all over the place and my mind rambles and goes completely off subject. This is why people like me hire someone else to do these things for them. I can tell my story, but I loose the reader or listener and a very good reason the FBI just could not follow me, nor others. Only those who have known me for yrs can put the pieces together. =================== Sluggo stated: You accused Blevins of using information from your story in his book: Jo states: I understand all of that about the count down system and it is NOT something orginal. I was just mad because Belvins is a story teller and he is using whatever he can to tell the story about a suspect. Remember that when I talk I am on a personal level. Remember it has been over 14 yrs and my stress level is very high regarding Cooper - so I shoot off my mouth once in awhile (well a lot of the time). I don't have the time to analyze the things people say or write. I have a dead line to prove what I know - if only to myself. I should have done this trip yrs ago and have saved myself a lot of grief, but money and time and my health got in the way...plus the fact that I remarried in 2002 and he died in 2007 after a long illness. I knew it was NOW or NEVER and I had to do what I had to do...make that trip. ================= Sluggo stated: Jo, you have just completed a challenging quest. One that caused many people (who don’t even know the real difficulties you faced) to express admiration for your fortitude. If they knew the whole story, that admiration would double. You showed that you could rise to a challenge and be victorious. So now, I challenge you to learn to use standard analytical techniques, based on logic not emotion. If you do, you’ll find less criticism and more support. Again: Jo you amaze me, I never thought you would do it. AND, you did it YOUR way. When I offered to accompany you (last Spring) and you declined, I thought that decision was “wrong-headed”. Now, I understand… you needed to do it on your own. I WAS WRONG, and I’m not ashamed (or hesitant) to admit it! I know it cost you a lot of money, but that may be the best $5k you ever spent when it comes to your “peace of mind”. As we say in the Deep-South, “You done good-‘n-all”. Jo's statement: Thank You for the above comments. As for being analytical I have to leave that to you guys - to take what I say and try to understand it. You are right - I really needed to do this on my own. If someone had been with me - I would never have accomplished what I did. I just plunge into the water and did what I had to do...it was sink or swim. I had to use my memories - with old maps (many of which you had provided). I finally purchase a good map of a specific area on that last day, but have not felt like pulling it to really study it. It is a glossy Clark county map. I was lost when the woman in Hockinson sold me the map. Hockinson is just a store. The post master and the young lady who managed or owned the story were very kind to me. This was my last day (Thursday) on the search road and I was physically and mentallly exhausted. This part of the trip to the Lewis was encouraged by 2 women I had made friends with several yrs ago. I had not been able to find the area I was looking for - and they finally sat me down and told me to listen to them and that I had not listened to them 10 yrs ago. Then they pulled old maps they had - showed me what they were talking about. I realized Duane and I had gone further North than I had thought. I then started on the last leg of my trip. I was driving the route by myself and was amazed at how fast you could get from place to place - even with all of the development and changes. I will have to study the maps to provide any details so everyone will know where I was. Most of the time I didn't know what road I was on - I just folllowed my gut and my memory of what I was seeing. This part of the trip would never have happened if two ladies older than myself had not told me I NEEDED to do this - that I NEEDED to see what they were talking about. I didn't get as far as I had hoped because I had to get back to Portland before the traffic started at 3PM. I did fine on country roads, but the city traffic and main highways rattled me. I am so tired I have yet to go to the store for groceries, but waded thru 16 days of mail. For 2 days I have ate what I had in the cupboard - in the way of canned goods. Just so very very tired...this is the most exhausted I have ever felt in my life. I went from 127lbs to 120 lbs in the last 2 wks. This is the least I have weighed since I was in my early 20's. I was eating well but... it was the stress was buring the calories. Also the cold I believe causes you to burn more energy.... It is a miracle I didn't come home with a cold or the flu. I took caution to stay away from anyone who was obviously ill. Just glad to be home, but don't feel my mission is complete yet. I want to go back. The orginal plan was to go in Sept. but some health problems put a halt to that. Now I have to take what I have - putting it in some kind of order and making the contacts with those I missed along the way. I don't believe I can finish what I have to do without going back to WA and there is a lot of research I am going to need some help with. Property records, geneology records, work records (hopeless unless the museum and records not accessible to me in THE DALLES - is made available). I do now have categories for the FBI to search within - but the geneology search will give them family member and friends of the family to search for. I knew Duane had a past in WA and OR, but I have only skimmed the surface - CC'S seemed to keep coming up. The girls were told to stay out of town when the CC'S came into Goldendale and other places. I collected as much information as I could in the museums and libraries and senior centers. I kept hoping to find a picture of Duane with the name he used - and heaven only knows what that was - but I have clues to work on. There was supposedly a picture made at the Spillway Tavern in the Dalles of Duane under the counter when Doc Severinsen was in the area around 1947.,,, Renember Duane knew Doc Severinsen thur - family members in the area just north of Arlington on the Washington state side. Doc played and Duane sang...I have someone searching the KODL files and old pictures. They are stored at the home of several of the old KODL employees. They were going to discard most of them.

Quote Mr Blevins: You seem totally unaware (or maybe just don't care?) of how the sum total of your posts presents itself to a reader. In no way were you presenting a theory. You were shoveling crap down people's throats, regardless of feedback or questions. I still wonder about how you judge liars. You were free to call other people liars. Like here: Katy Watson was also caught in a BIG lie by yours truly when she tried to say that Kenny bought this lot and made his money selling off the trees BEFORE the hijacking. Porteous and I put the lie to this by checking the sales record with the timber company. " ------------------------------ Read this Mr Blevins and understand it for what it is: The Book was called The Smorgasbord CookBook. Art work done by the author. Grand Court Order of the Armaranth State of New York 3000 copies were printed and I know where 3 of those copies are. I am Tina. (Pronounced Teena) I hope you will find my Tina Tips helpful.

RECIPE FOR LIFE "Let us not love in word, neither in tongue; But in deed and in truth," ! John 3:18. RECIPE FOR LIFE There are none poor but, such as are without God. ------------------------------ Duane was Cooper, but I try to tell truths in regards to what I know about him and what I have learned about him...and there will be more to come very soon. The FBI will have to do their part of this investigation to validate the things I have found. That validation is what will make the story more convincing. Nothing I say will do this - only earnest work on the part of the FBI. I often wonder if the FBI can really tell the truth. Are they instructed as to what the can and cannot say...and are they really investigating the Cooper leads since this is such an old case. If this is true then the complete file should be made available to the public so we can try to solve it. If the FBI is unable to release the complete file on this 38 yr old crime - one has to ask themselve WHY? Frankly I believe we all suspect that many things have been hidden from us - WHY? As long as the case is not solved there will be more suspects. I wonder if the FBI was watching for those 20's to be circulated in 1979 and if any of the bills surfaced during that time around Tahoe and other places. Surely they stopped looking for them or just looked the other way. THis shows I have no faith in the FBI. When that Palmer report showed those bills to be in the water no more than a yr. That was the time to put out alerts at the casinos. THe remaining money may have only been soiled and not in bad condition. Like the lower part of the book with the picture that was buried in the same location the money was buried in....I believe that book and picture are very significant finds. The comparisons to Tina and the little girl are very close. Note the angle of the hair infront of the ears. This was a new factor related to me while I was in WA and OR. Tina is near by and she maybe reading some of this now. Perhaps some of it will spark a memory of something she has lost. I have kept this book safe in hopes she might want to claim it someday. Tina: Remember reading this to Cooper. It is better to say a good thing about a bad man, than to say a bad thing about a good man, none of us heeds the wise man's prayer, "may I never be caught talking, when I shoud be only listening." !!! You tried to get him to talk about himself with this phrase. The one phrase you imbedded into his head was this one below. THE MEASURE OF LIFE Doing nothing for others is the undoing of ourselves. He lived by that phrase for the better part of his life after he GOT it. He was sorry he had to take your beloved book with him, but he could not erase his prints from it and placed in down in the bag with the money. It has water damage since the lower part of his container got wet after he buried it - but the book is still a lovely book. Truth or Fiction? When you guys figure this one out the story will be over. If Tina sees this the story will be over. I am only the keeper of the words and pages. I believe this book belongs to Tina. The co-pilot wanted to know how he could obtain a copy of the book - wonder why? Besides this copy there were only 2 others in existence about 2 yrs ago. Both in the possession of the author who wondered how this book ended up in Florida. The other 2 were in her possession in another part of Florida.

Coming from you - that is quiet a compliment. With this I will say Goodnight to all.

The road trip was fearful and very very hard for me - I only drive 24 mile to the Dr. in Pensacola - so this going to WA and OR and driving was a challenge and very very stressful. People honked their horns behind me and gave me the finger - when I could find a place to pull over - I did and let them pass. I drove with my flashers on so they would know I was having problems in the rain. Twice I had to be escorted to a hotel when it got dark and I was lost. I met LOTS of wonderful people. They just came out of the woods and went out of their way to help me and to be nice. I now know why some people go to WA and OR and never come home. It is GOD's country. If I could afford 2 homes I would have a home in WA for the Summer and have a condo in FL for the winter. Would not have a house in FL as the grrowing season is 10 months long and therefore - the lawn upkeep eats you up. There were times I was so tired all I could do was cry and ask for help when I didn't have the strenght to open a door. Spending every night in a different place - is stressful. I did this because I had TO do IT. I did it and I am glad I did, but wish I had had more time to do the research that needs to be done. The FBI probably will NOT take the time to do what has to be done...but, I got it started for them. Now they KNOW were to look if they aren't wearing blinders...because they want to or have to. A lot of it I can do from here, because of all of the contacts I made in WA and OR, but there is nothing like being there if something comes up you need to go look at it or someone you need to talk to. There was so much more I could have done had my health allowed me to have made this trip a few wks earlier. The cold and rain did hinder me getting everything done I wanted to do...I have NO closed toe shoes because I have a very expensive foot - 9 1/2 AAAA or SS. I was wearing socks with sandals (my feet got cold). I didn't have a coat, but bought a wind breaker at the Senior Center in Goldendale. People just volunteered to help me. They didn't know I was looking for Cooper, but the past of the man I was married to for 17 yrs. The album simply asked for help in locating this boy or this man from 1945 to 1949. To find the woman who gave birth to a child. Only when they started to give information that was valid did I go further - only when I felt that moment of recognition and felt this person needed more information than I was providing. Therefore most of the people did NOT know who I was or what I was looking for. I was a white headed stooped old woman on a cane - trying to reconnect with my husbands past. I was NOT looking for publicity and kept a LOW profile. One of the 3 times this was done was when one of our own joined me for a day of search and we had dinner at the Red Lion in Vancouver. In fact he bought my dinner that night after spending 2 hours to drive to Vancouver and several hours driving me around in his vehicle. I drove us to breakfast that morning and I am sure he felt he would be placing his life in jeopardy by letting me drive us that day. His driving his truck meant we made better time and accomplished more than I would have on my own. I am sure he will tell his part of this story when he gets a chance...he had some family problems pop-up that needed his attention since then. At his encouragement I told the waiter who I was and why I was at the RED LION in Vancouver. Since I knew I would not be back there and the waiter didn't know who the hell we were talking about - and knowing I did not want to talk to journalists or anyone else I didn't know - I was so close to the end of my trip - I gambled. This friend from the forum really wanted to see the re-action of the waiter. Like most young people the waiter didn't really know anything about Cooper. 30 Days seemed appropriate to me. I did most of it in 13 days if you take off time for my age and not knowing my way around and getting sick...! Do I expect anything - after 14 yrs? Do you really think I expect them to jump when I say jump? What am I going to do? I will take it one day at a time and I will repeat the same prayer I made the second night of my trip. "God, Duane, Jim - I know you guys are all up there - give me a sign this has not been for nothing and money spent foolishly?" The next morning when I went out for a smoke I found I had been escorted the night before to the Port of Cames Best Western by the local police who had found me in distress and lost. I was lost and now I am found. I had abandoned God because of all of this and now I am found again...he answered my prayer that next morning when I saw the towers and rushed back to the desk to find out where I was. The Port of Cames had been moved East of its old location West of the towers. After that - I let God guide me and lead me. He was with me every single day...and forgiving me when I said a bad word and he guided my every move. Without his help I could never have done what I did.

I am BACCCCKKKK! Been in WA and OR for 15 DAYS! Some good weather but lots of rain. Got sick for a couple of days - as I have Celiacs and it is difficult to eat out. I got my drivers license when I was 20 yrs old and pregnant and never drove in the mountains, but I knew if I didn't do this NOW, I would never be able to do it later. I drove an Avalon 4WD Highlander for 10 days and then turned it in for a Rogue Nissan. I was scared to death of the hills, but by the 12th day I was zipping over those hills above the posted speed limit. My only thought was " Hell if I am going to die - I will die doing what I set out to do 14 yrs ago". Determined I will NOT die with this stigma of being a liar hanging over me...and that I am not a teller of stories. There were days I was only good for about 4 hours, but put in 7 or 8. I would crawl into the motels exhausted and sometimes crying because of the pain and frustrations of the day. I worked without a map in the Cames area, except for old ones I have had for ys. I had an OLD state map I used to get to The Dalles, Hood, Goldendale, Biggs, Rufus and other places. I Bar Hopped! Didn't do any drinking, but found some old folks. I hit the Senior Centers and was welcomed to share their meals. I hit the Vet homes and retirement homes. I went to museums and historians....I got a lot of information...but, I will not post it in this forum since Blevins has a way of plagurizing others individuals research as his own. In all this trip cost me over 5K I really didn't have to spend, but it was something I had to do NOW, because I knew if I didn't do it now I wouldn't be able to do it later. What I found was FAR more than I expected to find. I was looking for resolutions - that maybe I was making a mountain out of a mole hill...but, it was the other way around! I found FAR more than I bargained for - FAR MORE. Enough that I called the FBI and put it in their hands. I was able to tell others what I saw and what Duane said in 1979 - but I had to place him in WA and I have done more than that. It is time for the FBI to re-investigate the past of Duane Lorin Weber. They missed something! There are things that the FBI has NEVER told - and the individuals the FBI interviewed they dismissed ( some of these individuals are still alive and their memories are vivid). All along the path Duane took me I found those who contacted the FBI in 1971 - and told them what they saw. Everyone of these individuals interviews where documented in 1971, but why did the FBI just ignore them? The route the plane took is clearly documented by the stories of the locals from 1971. The focus of the interviews placed Cooper over a specific route the FBI denies even to this day - but why? My driving these area by myself helped me to find how close they were to each other. Then the shock of shocks was when I listened to 2 old women like myself - and then did a quick run. Duane had taken me North about Hockinson and this is why I could never piece that part of the trip together...suddenly the whole trip was falling into place. I was under the impression there were only certain tracks - there are lots of old tracks. I tried to make things fit that didn't fit because Duane took me further North than I thought. I will tell you guys that the Dam Duane took me to was NOT Bonneville, but THE DALLES and we did cross into to WA by way of the Bridge of the Gods. We spent that first night just short of The Dalles (the morning he disappeared for several hours). I found the Antique Shop and old gas station I thought was a false memory - but it is really there. They were closed at the time we were there in 1979, but up for sale. Duane had a personal relationship with the prior owner. NOTE: Duane was not in the antique business in 1979. Duane also had a personal relationship with someone who lived near Arlington, OR. Now the FBI can tell you the rest of the story - they have 30 days to get it right...they have 30 days and it cost me 14 yrs of my life...hardly seems fair.

Well, Blevins took the Mississippi one and two from the story I have told for yrs. Duane had told me about this counting method, but I had no interest in what he was talking about - Dumb Blonde Roots! I am not even sure I knew he was talking about jumping...it has been lost to time and from my memory. I never said I was smart so that matches your never saying you were polite. Have no idea who you are Mr. Civilility, but I like you. You seem to know just where to put the blow below the belt when it comes to Belvins and his knowledge of jumping...at least I have never avowed to such knowledge...I leave that to the forum. I just knew the man...and that is all I ever try tell - Who he was and Not how he did it because only the expert will figure out how Cooper survived and how he did it - when the identity of Cooper is finally revealed.

You guys are really having a BLAST into the Past the last few days. While all of this has been going on some REAL research has been going on. Not everyone is looking for riches or fame - some of us are looking for the truth. I was lost and now I am found. This quote from the Bible has guided me recently. Tonight I became a believer for the second time in my life...having been raised a solid Christian and then turning away from my faith because I felt forsaken. I may never be vindicated, but I do believe in God - and that there is a hereafter. I said a prayer 7 days ago asking for a sign. I got a lot more than I bargained for, because the next morning I had my sign...and God has been by my side ever since...every step and mile and on every horizon. Perhaps Blevins should be doing a little praying right now - he is going to need a miracle. His book is a WASH before it hits the stands.......

My theory is that the money was damaged beyond being spendable - when he tossed it he never thought about it ever being found, because when the money was found in 1980...he immediately the NEXT day after it went public resigned for the best job he had ever had and was making Good Money - honest money. Perhaps he just wasn't thinking that far ahead. We were headed to Tahoe where he went to several places for only about 45 minutes and then left. He would deposite me in a location and tell me NOT to leave that area so he could leave quickly. Play a few hands and then cash in the chip for CLEAN money.

Until I contacted the FBI in 1996 NO one had EVER explained how the money got on Tena's Bar. With NO knowledge of the crime I am the only person who has ever - put that money on Tena's Bar during the time span the Palmer Report and a recent report thur a private individual which stated the found money had only been in the river for about one yr. In 1979 my husband took me to WA and there were some unusual happenings in regards to that trip. Things I did not question until 1996 when I learned who Dan Cooper was. Until I contacted the FBI in 1996 - I was the only person to put the money in the water within a yr. of the find. When the find was made public in 1980 my husband immediately turned in his resignation to a company he was making GOOD money with. Then 2 wks after the find there was a special on TV. My husband arranged for us to go out in the middle of the wk with another couple (I had never met them). We never went with other people. I apologized to the woman for being poor company as mid week things where not normal for us and there was a program on TV I wanted to see about the recent Money find regarding Cooper. Duane got VERY drunk that night. Crawling drunk. He was afraid he had said too much on that trip and he had no idea what the program would reveal and I might not put 2 and 2 together and get 4. Dumb Blonde Syndrome. I did not know the name used by D.B. Cooper was Dan Cooper (the name my husband told me he was 11 days before he died). I would never have known who Dan Cooper was had it not been for a friend who I had told about Duane's confession. I got a book out of the library and was on the phone to the FBI within the first 1/3 of the book. Until that night I did not know the name given by D.B. Cooper was Dan Cooper. This was 1 yr and 2 months after Duane had died. On our trip in 1979 - Duane threw a sack into the Columbia behind the Red Lion in Vancouver at the foot of the I 5 bridge. On our trip he showed me things and told me things that meant zero to me. Now they do. I have retraced that trip - and the answers are revealing. Duane had a background in WA from 1945 to 1949 and possibly again in the the 60's for short period of time. You know I lived in Georgia for several yrs. You know that one his ex-wives was married to an attorney - are you that attorney? If your last name starts with C then I know who you are. 377 will tell you that I am NO DUMB Blonde. Sometimes it pay to play dumb...and I used that to the fullest. I am tired of all of the claimes made by many and I am now currently involved in something that will end the fiasco once and for all. The FBI among others have covered up the background of Duane L. Weber and his many aliases....and I am proving that but NOT on this forum. Christiansen was NOT Cooper. Coffelt was not Cooper and Gossett was not Cooper. Coffelt was deceased when the money was found - it had not been in the river for 8 yrs. Have you spoke with the co-pilot and the attendants? Probably not! I am the only person besides the crew who KNOWS what that money went out of that plane in - END OF SUBJECT! Throw your time and money away because that is what I did for several yrs. My mistake was calling Mr. F and if your name starts with a C then you know who Mr. F is. I had ceased all communications with him in the last few yrs - but, out of the blue called him and you are the result of that call. SEE - NOT a dumb blonde. Give BR my regards if he is still living. PS. If the money find was something thrown out of the plane it would NOT have stayed in bundles for 7 yrs. Use your heads and use some logic. The money being money thrown from the plane in 1971 is NOT LOGICAL. So now who has Blond Roots. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

[ Sluggo: I haven't been on in a few days ( computer out of commission). I know what Jefferson Airplane means. It is a song and one Duane would only hum the tune to and usually only when he was giddy or very very drunk. He did a little airplane thing with it. Surprised no one caught it, but like I said I haven't been here in a few days and I am currently using a friends computer in her house..... All I can say to Blevins - is Good Luck, but I warned him he would only be making a fool out of himself - there is one born every second. Me. I just have blonde root so I am told. I expect everyone needs to buckle up and hold on tight. Hope to see you guys around someday - better sooner than later...if you get my drift. Love Ya All (even the ones who give me a hard time). This excludes Jerry T.---no excuse in his treatment of me. Like I said - love ya and hope I get the chance to meet ALL of you guys, but that is going to take a Miracle. Miracles do happen - I had one this morning because I prayed last night for a sign and guidance and when I went outside - there was my sign staring straight at me right out on the horizon.

Georger read the next Post that Blevins posted - I could never say it any better. Blevins - Thank You for that post. I have never ever gone to that site and would not - because I know this man and so do others who have been searching for Cooper. Blevins: Regarding KC's financilal assets. Well, let me give you a little lesson. A home bought in 1988 for 43K sold for 159K approx 2006 or 2007. Go figure. This same home was purchased in 2002 for 89K. The man who bought it GOT LUCKY and hit at the right time of the market almost doubling his money in a 5 yr period of time. 1988 - 43K 2002 - 89K 2006 - 159K Compare homes in WA versus homes in FL. An 1800 Sq FT 10 yrs old home in a very good neighbor home can be had for 159K. Comparable homes in a small town in WA are currently selling for 345K...and they do not look as nice. But that is just Fl. versus WA. Real Estate investments where very good in the late 1970's and up until 2007 - then they bottomed out...depending on the area. Duane and I bought a house in Virginia for 78K in 1984 and sold it in 1987 for a very very nice profit. KC was doing property and coins. In the past that was a sure thing. Right now if one could afford to buy property and hold on to it for several yrs - and if the economy ever gets turned around - then in 10 yrs make a tidy profit. I think the American Economy will not survive what is happening. Seniors used nests eggs to buy homes with the intent to use the equity on those home to supplement their income should their IRA's become depleted. Well, you all know what is happening...because of the inflation of everything else and the deflation to homes - they are already using the equity in the home to survive or they are down sizing. Some Amercians who were considered average in investments are now becoming dependent on their children - some have even moved in with their children or visa versa - just to keep a roof over the head of the families. We haven't see the worst of this yet! Mark my word. A lot also depends on the areas. FL has been hit hard. A home built in 2004 sold for 189K and the family put 28K in upgrades into this home - it just sold for 113K...will close next wk...buyer gets all of the extras - bar none. This WAS not a distress sale or repo. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

I have NOTHING to do with that map nor that flight path. You know very well who that Bob is. This is a man who contacted me claiming to know Duane was Cooper. He did not pass the truth tests. I have absolutely no idea where his milk can came from....nor where his FBI agent Tommy Gunn and other characters came from. The stories he built with the bait (deliberate lies). I would say something to him and he would say NO that doesn't mean anything to me. Then he would suddenly come back with an elaborate story on the subject. I would send a copy of the bait to Doug Pasternak who knew what was true and what was a lie and then we watched this guy run with the lies. Such as I asked him if he knew a Tommy G and Tony W. A couple of months later he is writing about FBI agent Tommy Gunn and Richard McCoy in where-ever all those people drank the Kool Aid in a mass suicide...I tried to be kind and tell him these guys were NOT the same guys. Richard McCoy was still alive and calling him from Canada. He went on and on about this. Richard McCoy was still alive and a wrestler in CA. Claimed to me he was the record keeper and even incrimated one of the crew members yet, he never ever produced these so called records. One of the Cooper sleuthes spent a couple of days interviewing this man and when the co-pilot got wind of it - it cost that writer an interview with a key player in the Skyjacking of 1971. There is only one thing this man ever proved to me...Duane was in Bloomington for about 6 wk to 2 months with his wife (they were on the run from the law). When I contacted the wife who was still alive -she verified this, except she remembered a different time frame than he did. There was no Milk Can and never was. Duane rambled about a bucket - not a milk can. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

This is like taking a virtual trip over the area. I am too tired to continue tonight, but I did verify something before I stopped. We had just passed the area when spoke about Bonneville Camp and told me the things there and about the 2 guys who escaped (I will assume from Camp Bonnevile because he talked about a very high fence). It was after this he mentions Larch Mountain and then it is on the Rd that is now 500 that we turned and went North, but looking at the map I believe we turned West of the road that went to Hockinson. Will try to do some more another day. Good Map - but so much developement. Something stood out - where the Hockinson High School is there used to be something else there and a road that did a loop and went into a wooded area...but, it is all gone now.

CAN't find the A unless it is the bright flashing mark Due East. I do know that we did not go to Larch Mountain - he mention it was an out source work camp for prisoners - I don't remember the word he used. This was a brief statement and we didn't go to Larch Mt...I got the impression it was a long ways up in the Mountians...from where we were. If we were East of Hockinson - we were not very far - so I wonder if they had a work camp out there someplace. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

I expect you are right about that. When I look at the map of the area as a whole - I STILL think I was West of Hockinson, but I need to satisfy myself as to where we where when we drove in the wood area where a tower used to be that had a light you could see for miles - and where what had been a logging road led to the tracks. I still think it was the major track - but anything is possible. I still do not and until I find something understand why he pointed out so many towers, the VOR (hat), Scrotton Corner, Dollar Corner, The Meadows, piplines, power lines and every airstrip and what was on those airstrips (down to the owner of one)....this is just the ones off the top of my head. The old Scholls airport is a must and the old skydive area West of there. So much to do and so little time left, not to mention resources. Then there are the towns along I-5 and more cemeteries. People he knew...living and buried in the area. This man knew the area - and he knew it well. Someone told me recently that they believe the FBI actually was aware of Weber's yrs in WA, but didn't want to announce it because it would just cause more questions. That sounds like a cover-up for some reason to me. That doesn't mean cover-up as in covert, but for some reason the FBI did not want Duane Weber's background made public. Question is WHY? Oh, well I will meet my maker and never know the truth. What I do know is that Christiansen nor McCoy, nor Mayfield, nor Coffelt, nor Burnworth, nor Petersen, nor Gossett were Cooper....a man just does NOT disappear off the face of the earth without someone knowing or missing him. Maybe it was the old hermit up around Dollars Corner. Even he would have been missed if he wasn't seen around. Still want to know who Reed and Taylor was - no it is not a Clothes line. Just more suspect names - but then people like to play games with Cooper and anyone else who thinks they have Cooper. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

I have old old maps that show all of the tracks you guys are showing - but, it is the private spurs that I need. Georger, exactly what you are looking for. I have one that shows an old private forestry owned line up in the mountains. I was wondering if there are others like that one that did not show on the map. All of the lines you guys are showing are ones I have. I have had a map for yrs that I overlaid the pipelines and power lines with the tracks - and I believe that Cooper used all of this to help him escape - and he knew the area like the back of his hand. No matter where he landed he would have known the quickest easier least obvious way out. How do we find maps of the so called spurs? And if a road was built on a spur - how do we find that one? Not only did the the forestry use these but the fire protection and rangers (fire rangers) used these to cover more ground faster. Hence the damn pump cars and they were stored way north of Battle Ground. Using the cars and the rails they could get equipment and men to closer to site faster. This map I created with overlays is very important and the most revealing of how Cooper did it. Unfortunately it is a large map and I could only reproduce it in sections. As for digging up cemeteries - I will leave that to the authorities. The only thing that would be buried in a grave site would be the chute. Theory: I do not know how to acquire a list of all of the deaths and burials before and after Coopers jump. If there was a freshly dug grave waiting for a funeral the next day - it would be nothing to jump in and take your hands and bury the chute. When the funeral occurs - the casket is placed right over the carefully concealed chute - evidence buried for all eternity. If there was a name on a marker near by - bet Cooper took note of that name, just so he pay his respects some day. Perhaps it was a family plot and the family name would have been available to him. Considering the hardware on the caskets - metal detectors or ground penetrating radar would be useless to locate a chute under a casket.

I had never seen a Bing Map - that is good. So Duane could have had me East of Hockinson and maybe near the upper end of Bonneville Camp, but where is there a track anywhere near there? I have never located a railtrack East of Hockinson. Those damn rail track just don't fit unless they were private logging tracks (is there such a thing)? Or did Bonneville have some tracks to move things in and out of there? I could never find much of anything on Bonneville. Even the citizens I have spoke with said they never really knew what went on there. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

I know where Hockinson is and that has been one of my land marks since 1979, but what I didn't know was where Cold Creek Camp was - and I found it East of Hockinson. What I was wondering or thinking out loud with my fingers is if the Tower that wasn't there was maybe East of Hockinson and not on the West side. When he took me North we went up a road which I intend to find when I go to WA. It is the only point in my trip in 1979 that I have NOT been able to tie down. Cold Creek is way up in the forest and in the mountains East of Hockinson. I do NOT believe we went that farand the area was paved except where we drove on a path about the length of a football field to a clearing. It was in this clearing he commented about a Tower that was not there and the low line of trees had at one time been a logging road all the way to the track. This is why I thought I had to be West of Hockinson toward the Brush Praire area, but NO one seems to know what I am talking about. When we came out of the woods he made the statement - If we continue on this road we would go to Hockinson but we didn't and we turned....this is the part of the trip I cannot put together. If I can put this together and find this area - it will help me put some pieces together. Duane had a history with the area and the FBI just will NOT investigate it and I am going to. I need answers. This should have been done in 1996 when the FBI was contacted. The individuals I find are senile or dead. There has to be one person who knows what I am talking about. There has to be one person still alive that can put a ribbon around these memories so I can find some peace - and let me live out my remaining time on this earth without constantly seeking information.
