  1. Georger states: I was raised on a farm - our cattle did not destroy the areas around our ponds nor our fields. A bull on the rampage could be very destructive. Also I was under the opinion the cattle were only put on the shore for short periods of time - not for a season as you are suggesting. Remember they made this area open to the public for a fee so any keeping of cattle there was very very temporary. I think you are trying to take a mute point and run with it. The cattle are not mentioned because they weren't on the river for any extended period of time - There is also the problem of feed on a beach and that the area was NOT large enough to "run" more than a few cattle and actually it would be considered confinement in those day because of the small area. Also, cattle have this tendancy to venture into the water - and then they get bogged down in a pond and in a river washed off their feet and drowned...they must be herded in any water crossing. I have help my father pull many a cow out of a pond and on my grandfathers farm if the river was going to run or flood the cattle were taken to higher ground. I DO NOT believe that the cattle were confined to the "bar" for any "extended" time. Maybe for a few daylight hours or prior to taking to market or during a heavy snow for feeding and watering. Perhaps we need a WA farmer to pipe in on this. ================= Georger states: I believe the information you are missing is what I have stated above. Talk to an old farmer from that river. I know the daughter of farmer who lived on that river and she has a brother also. Think I will copy and paste this to her in an email. ================== Georger states: Georger for someone so very well educated and intelligent some bits of common knowledge seems to elude you. Remember - in the few wks prior to the find of the money on Tena's bar that there had been some flooding due to the snow melt in the higher area. No responsible farmer would have put his cattle on the river during that time. Since I come from a family of intellectuals - I understand your thought process, but I get lost in the technical end of it. As a girl only 18 mths older than my brother, I was "worked" the farm and did what was requiried of me. My brother was in the basement with his chemistry experiments. When he showed me what Milk looked like under a microscope, I didn't drink milk for yrs. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber
  2. I did not understand any of those posts regarding the random thoughts in this thread. I have one focus and only one focus and that is solving this case. Now to go completely off Topic or so it will seem to most of you, but it may be important. Digest This: A child was born around 1969 or 1971 to a 16 yr old girl named ----. The child was "given" to a couple in Carolinas. The couple who received the child were military and friends of Duane Weber aka John Collins and his common-law wife. We do not think a formal adoption took place. The woman who bore the child died in the last few yrs - she spoke of her child and the fact that she knew Duane Weber was Cooper. You are thinking how is this connected to Cooper? Right! The mother of this child told me she knew Duane was Cooper (by the way I can prove that even though she is deceased). She mentioned the child just before stating this. Her mother had also told me about "giving" the child to a couple in the Carolinas. Certain other subjects who have been mentioned over the yrs regarding Cooper - adopted or where given a child in this same period. This was a flash when we were studing the other "subjects". May have been unrelated, but if the child was this child - it could just be another co-incidence. We are not actively pursuing this issue, but thought you might find it interesting.

  3. Excellent. Lets talk Sunday night regular time if that's ok. All is well here. Busy but well... A statement made by one of the FAZIO brothers who was at the river in 2001 when they did the film talked about the cattle. The cattle had been run on the beach in the time prior to the find - on a regular basis. Something he said gave me the impression the cattle had been there in recent weeks prior to the find. That would have been winter so I don't know why they would have them on the river in winter...........but they must have had their reason. There was also been a recent rise in the water due to a big SNOW melt (1980). Maybe the water/pond in the fields or holding areas were frozen. There had been a recent snow melt in the high areas which caused minor flooding on the river - this was stated in Tosaw's book and at the river that day in 2001. I do not remember how they classifed it - rising water or flooding...but water had risen over the area the money was found in recent wks prior to the find (stated by Fazio). Just relaying what I heard that day on Tena's Bar. I did NOT stay with the crew all of the time...so I am sure other things where said. Since Jerry "claims" to be friends with the crew - I am sure they have notes or tapes of the conversations made. Maybe they didn't think any of it worth the storage to save.

  4. The fragment issue is answered with this summary you posted: 'Geologist Palmer advises that he found the beach area in the vicinity where the money was found to be in approximately four different layers. The layers consisted of an upper sand layer, a post dredging sand layer, a clay lump (dredge) sand layer and below that an older sand layer. The upper layer consisted. of six inches to eight inches of reworked beach sand and is the sand which contained the fragments and bundles of the recovered money. This sand also contained soda pop cans and other debris, which were not severely damaged and/or rusted. This uppermpost layer is what I shall later describe as the 'upper active working layer' because it is most recent in aquisition showing signs of both acquisition and erosion, in the near term. The post dredging sand layer under the upper active working layer contained older soda pop cans, rusted nails and spikes, and other older rusted artifacts, which were in a much more deteriorated condition indicative of their age compared to the upper active working layer. " The statement regarding the fragments is pretty forthright and maybe so obviously no other testing was done. I have told the story of the gold sparkles in the beach sand - just try to dig without their sifting down thru every shovel full. Ever built a sand castle and a mote on the beach? Same principle applies when you use a backhoe on the river banks. From the Dumb Blonde in laymans terms..... Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber
  5. Same logic applies to your alleged proof that Duane was Cooper. If crucial evidence you hold back disappears then POST IT NOW. In 2000 when the picture of the 3 guys was available I did send or tried to forward it to an individual. This is when I knew nothing about forums or how to post or how to do anything other than a simple search and print and do simple emails. I didn't have a clue how to attach a site or a picture. The same logic does not apply to this current situation, because it is not just ME, but others who are in possession of this material. If it disappears then it cannot just be chaulked up to the vivid imagination of one crazy old lady who was but 60 yrs old at that time. Never could play baseball or softball - because I have no eye to hand co-ordination and you sure don't want me pitching a ball. PS You 377 posted: What do you mean by that statement?

  6. 377 said: If I reveal one thing about what we have found at this time - we will be cut down in our steps and all of these yrs of searching and digging would have been for nothing. Read into that whatever you guys will, but I assure you that when we get the green light nothing will keep this out of the news nor the forum...until then my lips are sealed. When things came to light in the past - I would reveal these to "others" and "poof" the source disappeared just like the photo of the 3 prison jumpers and other things you guys know nothing about. I won't let this happen again. That one photo and the names of those jumpers might have ended this in 2000, but I tell "someone" about it on the phone - next day it is NO LONGER available and the site claimed NO knowledge of the pic. I am using this as an example because maybe there is another explanation for "things" disappearing. Perhaps "because they were never meant to be seen", but the internet has changed this. Other sources have become defunct due to death or health (since most of the contributors were seniors) - such as those still alive in 1996 when I first contacted the FBI.... I believe my question to Quade was - asking if he found it necessary to close the tread would he be able to reopen it to make a final post at a later date...it could simply be a statement from Quade that new evidence has been presented - (stating what it is) and that in all probablility this information will forever end the debate of who Cooper was. Frankly I hope the thread remains open until we are able to make our "information" available to the forum and the public.
  7. My focus has been Cooper ever since I got a computer in 2000. On rare occasions while searching on other sites for anything related to Cooper, I would find something of interest to read as a diversion or something out front in the media - such as Jon Benet. I may even have made a comment or two, but did not stay or debate. Being a mother that one touched my heart. I do not think a "Cooper Freak" means not taking R&R. but being focused on Cooper. If someone is a regular poster regarding other crimes then then they are "Media Hounds" or "Unsolved Crime Hounds"...titles I just made up for the post. I can't help being a "Cooper Freak" because of my own personal involvement regarding the subject. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber
  8. Excellent Post Sluggo: You are absolutely right about PR. Robbie Burroughs. She ENDs all enquiries about DUANE L. WEBER with the letter sent to me in 1998 and we all know that the investigation on Weber at that time had NOT been completed - even in March of 2000 and statements recorded by the media regarding Agent Carr since that time. She needs at the very least to update the information she gives on Weber when inquiries are made. If she wants to stand by her statement I suggest she listen to ALL recorded conversations (most importantly the conversations in early 2000) that Agent Hope had with me...I am sure the FBI must make some record of such conversations.

  9. 377: Your profiles says you are an attorney, right? So think about the 2 statements below. The Dream Team has not revealed their information - that is all confidential until it airs. WHY should what we have acquired be treated any differently...we are entited to have time to compile our evidence and our case just as the Dream Team did. Attorneys trying to win a case - do not disclose their closings or expose the vulnerabilities of the accused until it is TIME. They do toy with the witnesses on the opposing side and more affirmative with the witnesses on their side. ------------------------------------- Georger stated: Georger, if it was so easy to get into the files with a panel then why have my guys had to dig out what we found on our own. Would be nice to know if the FBI files have supporting evidence that is in harmony with the things we have found. I I think the public with agree we deserve fair access with this and I have informed those working on my behalf of your statements. They will be addressing the FBI in the next few wks...to find out if that access is available. It would be mighty kind of you to post the proceedure for such access to the files. The FBI didn't even allow me access to my own husband"s file. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber
  10. NOTE: I cannot divulge confidences and will not do so. These findings are not mine, but the work of many others devoted to bringing this to an end. Point of interest: McNeil Island Camp (prison). Are any of you aware that in 1944 the prison was over crowded and they opened a camp - at Columbia, WA (wherever that is). Prisoners were evaluated by institution classification and prisoners (Eligible for Parole in One Day) were not placed into the McNeil population, but sent to this camp and other temporary camps. Draft dodgers (among other as listed above) where housed in these temporary camps. The camps consisted of clearing land, cultivation, orchards, dairies, forestry and fire protection. Transfers where made with "special consideration" for utilization in these camps. This consideration included being transferred to camps outside of WA. This mean nothing to any of you other than just trivial information, but remember that Duane's McNeil file read "Eligible for Parole in One Day". Of course the FBI did not know I had that information. The prison destroys all individual work detail or assignment after 30 yrs......

  11. Jo, about this elusive picture: Jumpsuits can be ordinary coveralls. Did the picture show parachute gear? if so, how do do you know it was parachute gear and not some kind of pack used by ground fire fighters? I have found zero evidence that state prisoners were recruited, trained or used as smoke jumpers. I am keeping an open mind, but so far no evidence has been presented to me to support your claim on this issue. 377 The guys in that photo had on parachutes not just jumping attire. It mentioned jumptraining for these cons who volunteered and it even gave their names...it was a very short article. They had volunteered, but I do not know if the program ever got beyond that...it was definitely Folson or SanQuentin. I corresponded with a San Quentin Historian, but he also found nothing. Maybe God playing games with me in 2000. It was March of 2000 and was after I had my altercation with Ralph Hope the FBI agent - who told me UN-truths even as I held government paper work stating the contrary...regarding some pertinent facts about Weber. I found little about Folsom. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber
  12. No Need to go after anyone - I am crying with joy and hope the information I recieved is NOT another false lead. I want to shout to the top of my lungs - it is over and done. I could never pull away from the Coffelt connection regardless of the little information available on Coffelt. I have talked about Mouse and the Roach (there is another spelling) and others since the very beginning in 1996. NOW it is all connected - thanks to this forum and especially to Snowmman and the hard work of so many who are not in the forum for their hard work. Today we made all of the connections and they are verifiable. I am over-come with JOY and the sense that my struggle was NOT for NOTHING. Duane L. Weber aka John C. Collins WAS DAN COOPER. I will come back and make my corrections I am crying so hard, but they are HAPPY Tears. I need to go get some cigarettes (had been quiting) to calm myself down. The evidence just fell right out of the sky - OMG!. It is Finally over! Hopefully Quade will leave the thread open for the ending or if he does shut it down he will himself make a finally admendment to the thread - telling what will become public in the near future. Maybe there was more to that "Dream" last week. Duane returned to give me what I thought was a warning - maybe it was to really to say Good-Bye and letting me the "Truth" was on the way. Snowmman whoever you are - thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your friend has my contact number and I would really love to talk to you as I cannot disclose in specifics what has JUST happened. "Spook agencies authorized by our own government?" There are those who want this thread closed BEFORE the National Geographics airs because this is the final attempt by "those who be" to dispurse any hope that Cooper survived. They are hoping to end the Cooper Saga with the program and cut off any source anyone might be able to contact with verifiable knowledge. There are many who have contacted the FBI in the past with this SAME information - and never where replied to. Just as they ignored me until they learned I was going public in 2000.
  13. JO said: Night Halo's were done way before 1967 - I have this in writing in one of the reports - I have been looking for it for hours. Orange said: Something tangible?! Well then Jo, please tell us - what report, who wrote it etc? . 377 said: Hope Snow stays around. The stuff he is finding is truly eye opening about what happened under our flag in Viet Nam. I want more. Every time I think I have found the gold nuggets he posts stuff I have never seen. ===================== Someone tell me what is going on - how did I step on anyones toes? I am making alternate layman opinions. The things that Snowmman mentioned help me to remember the things I had. Orange this is the problem all of my stuff is printed material. That is why I was wading thru all those papers looking for the material that had the Night Halo's in it. I think it was in the Cuban Project - and articles about that - but I have to find the article. I do outlines and make notes and references of where I got the info - all I wrote was Cuba - meaning it could be any one of 100's of articles I read regarding this. I know I should have done better record keeping - it is all here and in storage - it is just a matter of finding it and who the author was and if the material was credible. John Kennedy authorized the aggressive covert operations in 1961. Zenith Technical Enterprises, Inc. was a CIA front. It is in the Mongoose files someplace, I don't know why Snowmman got riffed at me - I honestly don't know. I was reading everything he wrote and absorbing what I could - I made some responses - not technical responses, but just ordinary everyday people kind of responses. I felt he was going someplace with all of this. Such as the concealment of all of those photos from VN that the government ordered destroyed. The recent CIA concealment that is in the media now - the Bush-era abuses. The 8 yr old counterterrorism program and the Bush administration's failure to notify Congress. Feinstein said the CIA concealment broke the law. Doesn't she know the government has done this for decades? Maybe she should read this thread...and real all the things Snow has posted - she might be appalled to take action. There were SOG members associated with individuals who the FBI supposedly looked at as Cooper. This involved NC and /or SC. I still have a very firm feeling that Cooper was covered up - Even if it was Waugh or Brader or Coffelt or Gossett or Christiansen - it has been a Cover-up. The CIA has know all of this time who Cooper was - but they where powerless to do anything about it..because it meant exposing our own government actions during war time - the very things that Snowmman was making available to us with his post. Sorry Snowmman, if my questions or posts seemed stupid to you. I am like the other ordinary people out here who have an interest in this and we are not all as knowledgeable and astute as you are and our questions and suggestions might seem trivial to you - but we have a right to ask. With so much going on with the recent exposures of what did go on in Vietnam what you are saying and posting is enjoyed by all who read the thread. I did and still do not believe the National Geographics program is going to be unbiased due to the participation of one individual involved, because I have personally been a victim of his verbal and abrasive and prisoner of war tactics. I do not trust him because of that...and that is my right. If he publically calls me delusional or a liar on that TV program he is facing a major lawsuit...unless the TV program wants to give double time to the alternate story and theories such as those that Snowwman himself has proposed and that they spend money to investigate 2 of the former suspects that our FBI or others want to continue to cover up. There was much done to take the focus off of Coffelt and Weber - LOTS. Since the government knew Gossett and others were never a real suspect the FBI nor our own government did much to draw attention away from them knowing they would run their course. The Government and CIA has realized today with the media sources available - there are NO LONGER ANY SECRETS. This is not bashing the FBI - because they are instructed what to do under certain circumstances by others of much higher authority in our government. Snowmman we need you to counter the Team or whatever they call themselves. Americans want the truth not only about Cooper, but about VN and JMWAVE and CUBA - until then our government was mostly out front - right or wrong. Jumpers played large parts in all of the wars since WW11. We need to know that history. 377 remember my saying Boeings were jumped out of before 1969 and I was right. I am also right about a prison with a picture of 3 men in jumpsuits and I am right about Halo jumps (or their equivalents) in 1962 regarding Cuba. I have the article that mention the 1962 jumps, but my printer was not working couldn't print the picture of the 3 jumpers - even Doug Pasternack couldn't find it the next wk. I am not delusional and I didn't imagine that picture of that story. I found all of that in March of 2000. I have since contacted the web site and a man who did one of the articles I did print. I was also researching the smoke jumper at that time frame - had only had a computer for 2 months. Most of these old web pages I pulled - some are no longer available nor is the same information.

  14. Attention Snowmman and 377: Night Halo's were done way before 1967 - I have this in writing in one of the reports - I have been looking for it for hours. The date I had been reading did not correspond with my notes - and I had just recently read the report. I have 4 ft of papers stacked on my dining room table right now.... been sorting for hours. They are mentioned in the JMWave and Cuba project (Mongoose) - and that started in 1962. I have a book and research on this at another location - so I will check on that this wk. I am sure that one of you with all of the electronic technology will find it before I do. I just told you were to look for it. 377: Think about this - if someone contributed to a war effort in a covert operation or CIA covert action and was promised compensation, would they not also be just as angry at the Pentagon (or whoever was making the promises), such as Wilson. The covert groups where more likely to have retaliated against the government after not receiving compensation or acknowledgement. In fact the government with all of its secrets would quickly have covered the jumpers tracks - which THEY in MY opinion did. It would have been necessary to eliminate ALL involved - the government was not going to take any chances. That paper sack (whatever was in it) and tie left the necessary messages. Although the FBI may not have known what was going on they got their directions regarding what they found on that plane from Hoover. Some have paid heavy penalties with their lives, and later encarcerated for unrelated incidents. I don't mean just the peons, but those holding office in our government offices. What comes around goes around. Recent CIA disclosures by some of these prior officials and others has resulted in the government declassifing information that has inadvertantly pointed out who Cooper may have been. Perhaps Cooper was doing what could well be a death mission and by happen chance survived. He had already taken the necessary precautions to "wipe" himself out (severing all ties) so NO one would miss him. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

  16. I saw NOTHING in his bio that qualifies him to make judgement on that money and where it has been. I am sure from the way he spoke to me in reply to one of few PM's I sent him (offering unfilter information about where the money could have been) - that he is going to try to slaughter the truth. He does NOT have an OPEN mind and/or he has been manipulated to keep the lid on Cooper. More than likely the later since he is not CIA or FBI or an investigator of crimes. These super intelligent individuals with all of the degrees and credits are very easy to manipulate when it comes down to digesting common sense information. I should know 1st hand - I come for a family of these well educated, mulit-degreed, scientific, structured and politically correct individuals. I expect this film is the " Lid Lock" in the Cooper Case so the FBI and our government get the focus off of Cooper and their inadequate investigation, then they can get about business as usual - screwing up. I hope the documentary surprises me and is going to be factual and open, but until then I remain a skeptic...and a pessimist or AS THE FBI AND OTHERS VIEW ME - a limited brain cell PEST. (Dumb blonde). PS: The filtered information about the money, the water and possible areas comes from the source - man on the ground. My experience with the source is first hand and it has NOT been pleasant. If ones information is bias and delibertly filtered - a true evaluation could and would never be made by any researcher....unless the reciever of the information has enough common sense to see thru his source and make confirmations thru a second party. An excellent example of this is soil samples. Trust only samples you yourself take. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber
  17. You may not think so, but come and see what I have and talk to me - you will realilzed there is something there. Duane had a well versed secretive man able to control others and what was going on around him. This may simply be a survival skill acquired from his many imprisonments. I took a nap today and had the weirdest dream I have ever had (note I normally DO not nap - so this was a very unusual). There was a small community - shopping and restuarant like those built near the beach. There is a policeman in this dream - I guess he might have been an off duty security. I had started to go to the park area but decided to explore the shops - NOW, I said this was an unusual dream. Duane walks up to me - and I remark" You are alive - where have you been?" The man I am looking at is not really as old as Duane was when he died, but a younger gray haired version of what Duane might have looked like as he aged but with out the kidney disease - there was no extended abdomen, but his height had shrunk as it does with age. He was wearing a medium blue jump suit (the dinky kind). He answers he me "Around, mostly in the park area." I comment that I have been there and never saw him, but that many times I would see someone in a passing car and think he looked like him. I believe I am thinking he is homeless. I seem to be calm in all of this and think he might be hungery and asked him if he would like to get something to eat. We go in to what appears to have been like the old narrow hole in wall restuarants, but we go thur a gate (note this is a dream). For some reason I am distracted either by the management or something, but it happens very quickly. Duane is not there nor is my purse. Immediately I head toward the entrance telling management that the man with me stole my person. Just after I past the gate I look back and there is my purse hanging on the gate. Opening the purse I find that my check book and wallet are gone. Note: this kind of theft was one that Duane was noted for in his many crimes - forger of checks and use of credit cards...until they are maxed out. I am thinking I can't tell the police a DEAD man took my purse. I didn't get a chance to ask him about Cooper and what all had been going on since he "died". I head for my car because I can't find the keys - dream ends. When I woke up I wanted to talk to someone about the dream, but I reviewed it over and over in my mind. Since the park I associated with the homeless and I had this one particular man on my mind - wondering what I could do to help him. Duane was WARNING me, reminding me how quickly a good con can take you to the cleaners - to BEWARE - that I am making myself too visible. Since I was going to write down the dream before I forgot it - I am doing it here. Thought you guys might need a little diversion from all of this serious investigative work you are doing. Please do not try to analyze that dream - it was JUST a dream...I have been told stories about how he used other women in his life and at one time he did run a couple of my cards up - but he paid them off and I closed one of the accounts immediately. I even looked at the date and thought what is important about July 11th - no special day...the Blue Angels were putting on their annual show today. Good Night and pleasant dreams!

  18. page 48 "Before I could weep I wandered outside, lit a cigarette, and looked up a the moon. I'd read somewhere that the Greeks believed that as long as someone remembers you, you are immortal. Aloud, I vowed I would never forget my teammates, never, though I had hardly known them... " Does anyone else read anything into that line that I do? Maybe we need to explore this writer - age, record, etc? It just struck a cord with me - could have been a motive for Cooper - and the tie? Sounds as good as any other that has been given.

  19. Please explain this to me: Note: I have asked for some kind of explanation regarding this in the past. This story is in a book Soldier of Fortune dated December of 1994 so how can the above statement be true. If I physically have the magazine article published in 1994 with the very same article how could the original article be published in 2001? The 2001 article was NOT the first publish date - the 1994 in Soldier of Fortune is. QUESTION / ANSWER / PLEASE. This article MAY NOT be what is so important about this magazine - but, whatever it is holds a clue to Duane's past. Important enough to keep in safe deposit box - but, WHAT.

Guys, I am trying my best to bite the bullet and keep quiet, but I want everyone in this forum to think back to when I posted the pic from Page 49 of a SOLDIER of FORTUNE Magazine dated Dec. 1994. This magazine was the ONLY item in a safety deposit box owned by Duane L. Weber (one, I as his wife did not know he had). I found the receipt in his belonging and went to the bank with the will. Since the box did not have my name on it the bank did not allow me to view the box, but brought this magazine out and told me" this is all that was in it". He had to have placed this magazine in the box in Dec. 1994 or by Feb of 1995 just before he became too ill to drive on his own. A yr later when I found out who Dan Cooper was - the magazine didn't seem important and I had placed it with ALL of the tax returns he had kept from 1968. It was always something I pushed into the back of my mind. Months ago a post in the thread caused me to pulled it out and read it from cover to cover again trying to figure out why this magazine was in that box. I don't really remember the re-actions of the thread, but it is out in front of me again, because of the recent posts. Yrs ago I was contacted by a man who told me that John Collins was removed from Jefferson Federal Prison and place in to a "program". I didn't believe the man. but the FBI never provided me with the Jefferson records and all I got was what this forum guided me to obtain which is detailed in the thread. I tried to obtain the detail work logs and reports which I could never get because after a period of time those no longer exist (30 yrs). Prior to the expiration of that 30 yr period, I had made several exchanges with the prison - and got 3 different stories regarding John C. Collins and others. The story in the magazine centers around BuDop March 1967 (supposedly Duane was in prison). The picture of the BuDop encampment taken from the air resembles a painting Tony Wong had done of a "place" he and Duane obviously spent some time at. (this conclusion was reached by conversation I over heard between the two of them). Names mentioned in this article are: Lieutenant John "Jack" Throckmorton, son of Colonel Throckmorton NOT General Throckmorton. Chief Warrant Officer Jerry Johnson, "China Boys" Staff Sargeant Roger Haliberg, Sergeant First Class J.W. Edgell Captain Stewart (they never give a 1st name). Master Sergeant Charles Hosking, HALO jumps with the dummy device (barrel), The Green Berets knew the SADM (small atomic demolitions munition), Captain Stewarts first name is never given. The reason I am reminding you of this is because this thread has gone back to Vietnam. I don't know what the damn magazine means, but you JUST do not put a magazine in a Safe Deposit box. Considering the subject matter and the atttached photos and the mention of HALO's done at night...WHAT was Duane's connection to this? I find it difficult to even think of Duane in terms of actually being in Vietnam - but maybe having been associated with someone mentioned or pictured. The group picture states that only 2 Americans survived the ambush and 1 of those is named. So what I am getting at - did Duane know someone mentioned in that article or the writer John Mullins? He was TOO connected to that Magazine. It was 1994 when I saw that airline ticket. The house was broke into after I sold the VAN. What was with that Wallet the new owner found? Why did the man tell 2 different stories about where he found the wallet. Did Duane leave a note with the wallet telling me where something was hidden in the house. When the house was broke into NOTHING was taken that I was aware of, but the handles to the fire irons where all loose (I noted this because I went to set them up straight). Duane always said Hide it in Plain Site. Did he leave a note directing me to a treasure and someone else thought it was money - could it have been the airline ticket or one of the $20's? I will always have these question in my mind - till the day I die. Why did he tell me anything? Why did he hide his past? If I told you about another thing I found I would be called a liar or delusional. I was too stupid to see what was right in front of me and something I had in my possession - I didn't know the value of it because I didn't know who Dan Cooper was. Stupid Naive Dumb me. Always taking things and people at face value and never asking too many questions. All that is left now is unanswered questions and I am afraid to trust anyone with everything - I am tired of being called delusional - I am tired of trying to tell people what I held in my own hands and saw with my own eyes. Tired of trying to tell people what he told me and showed me. I am tired of secrets and tired of not being heard (except for you guys). Since 1996 I have told the truth and nothing but the truth regarding what I know. I have NOT lied nor am I delusional. In 2001 when the FBI found I was going Public - everything that has been done has been done to SILENCE me and to make me go away. I wouldn't give up - so now the FBI's and "other's who be " decided they have done enough to convince anyone interested that I am just one of the "wannabe's" or as others in the forum have said - delusional. I believe someone out there knows who Cooper was. In other circumstances our own government ordered pictures and files destroyed - wiped-out because their content would jeopardize national security. I ask (what national security - a security they have build on lies and deception)? If ever was the time to come straight out with all of the secrets now is the time. It will take someone like Snowmman to expose them. We know our government has had their hands dirty before - they just don't want the world to know how many times and to what extent. Our economy is in the gutter, our people living on the streets while one illegal uses up 2 millon dollars in medical expense because they can't deport him. Americans born in this country who go and beg for work everyday - so they might have something to eat before they go to bed (in abandon trailers, tents, under the pavilion). I have taken sheets to the homeless and mosquito spray - this is horrible - this is not the America I ever thought I would live to see. The jobs are given to illegals whose child was born in America (they get an address because they got a kid) - so they get to stay and these other men and women who depended on these jobs are starving in our streets and when they are offered a meal they must sit through 1 hr of preaching while the food get cold. Can anyone of you imagine what it must be like to not be able to take a bath and not have clean clothes - in AMERICA? Can you imagine going to the bins behind the fast food places looking for food? I have met intelligent people in these circumstance - some humiliated and some so very thin. Some have not turned to acohol or drugs (yet). they are still hoping and trying. With no address you can't get assistance - without a job or money you can't get an address. No address = no assistance or foodstamps. they want to just die, but they don't turn to alcohol or drugs - they just keep on and so help me I don't know how they can face another night or day. If I am delusional then the rest of the world is delusional if they can turn their backs on what is happening in this country. Off topic, but it needed to be said. Go out and feed a homeless person today - and I don't mean by giving a CHARITY money these people never see. Go get your own hands dirty and put yourself in their place just one time...take a sheet and try to go to sleep on the concrete or on a bench (if you are lucky) - or even worse a nasty dark mildewed abandon trail with a rotten floor infested with bugs.

  21. Bruce Said: "Nevertheless, when I saw Billy's address, a click did register in my brain and I was thinking.....and realizing that our Miss Jo is one sharp cookie for contacting Billy Waugh three years ago. I consider that pretty sharp sleuthing on her part." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LOL, I started laughing out LOUD. If only I could remember contacting him!. Old timers I guess! I am sure I must have, but haven't felt it important enough to check it out. Georger is very right - Billy had some very distinguishable scars in 1971 - and make-up available at that time could not plug that hole in his forehead. As for Florence's reported comment to Galen Cook - so remember what she reportedly said to Geoffrey Gray. She has reportely said similar things regarding other suspects. If I were FBI or an investigator I would no longer consider her a viable witness. Also note that with what the Co-Pilot said about Tina - she just washed that board white. What she told Tosaw maybe the last of her accountings...except what she said to me and for the record I will not repeat anything other than she said "He was a very Sad Man". At that time there were not any pubilcized records of that statement -I therefore still believe it was Tina who contacted me even though I was told "NO WAY that was Tina". I will put that statement with the fact that the number I provided for her to make contact with me had NEVER been made available to the anyone regarding Cooper. It was NOT the phone number I had been using - It was a very private number in 2003 and was not listed in my name. It was definitely Tina who called me after receiving my letter.

  22. That name may have been bait or nothing more than age or rage. The conspiracy theory would be to look for something a little more exotic - like Branoski, Darnowski, Dabroski or Bradonsk. Logically maybe he just missed a key or hit the wrong key. Perhaps he meant Bradsen or Bradson but more likely Braxon, Brason, Branson or Brasdon. This man is an expert in search, identify, verify and whatever comes after that. How much does the enemy know? His survival depended on this knowledge and how to use it...you can betcha that is exactly what he did when he threw that name out there.

  23. That is scary - especially considering what that man is capable of (trained to kill). Considering some strange phone calls I have recieved maybe I should call in the CIA! Oops that wouldn't do any good since the FBI and CIA and SOG might be involved. Geeze - I am scared out of my wits!
  24. I did a copy and Paste regarding Fort Bragg and its related facilities for those who feign no knowledge of the facility. Did Weber have any association with these areas? Check it out! I didn't have to.

One of the largest and busiest military complexes in the world, Fort Bragg hosts America's only airborne corps and airborne division, the "Green Berets" of the Special Operations Command, and the Army's largest support command. 82nd Airborne Division soldiers and others make 100,000 parachute jumps each year at Fort Bragg. By population, Fort Bragg is the largest Army installation in the world, providing a home to almost 10 percent of the Army’s active component forces. Approximately 43,000 military and 8,000 civilian personnel work at Fort Bragg. Every day approximately military and civilian employees in careers ranging from trades and labor to engineers and attorneys provide the services needed to train, sustain, and deploy the combat forces to America's Crisis Response Contingency Corps and Special Operations Forces. Their common daily focus is on training, deploying, mobilizing, and demobilizing America’s strategic response forces and providing first-class services in such areas as retail, recreation, medicine, and education. The Fort provide those services to a customer base of more than 250,000 soldiers, civilians, family members, and retirees. Fort Bragg occupies an irregularly-shaped parcel of land, covering approximately 160,700 acres (or 251 square miles), that stretches into four counties and Camp Mackall covers an additional three counties. Fort Bragg occupies 161,000 acres , stretching into six counties. Included within this area are Camp MacKall (an auxiliary training complex), 7 major drop zones, 4 impact areas, 82 ranges, 16 live fire maneuver areas, and 2 Army airfields. As we focus on potential force protection threats, we must consider the fact that approximately 75 percent of our acreage includes ranges, deployment and training areas, with the remaining 25 percent dedicated to those areas where people live, work and play. Fort Bragg is a major city, providing approximately 20 million square feet of office buildings, 11 shopping centers, 28 restaurants, 11 miles of railroad lines, a major medical center, 8 schools, 11 churches, 183 recreational facilities, and approximately 5,000 homes housing over 11,000 family members. The Fort is a significant economic presence in North Carolina, contributing an estimated $4.1 billion annually to local communities. Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base generate retail sales of approximately $2 billion for Cumberland County. Military personnel expenditures have proved to be a vital source of economic growth and development for both the city of Fayetteville and Cumberland County. Cumberland County's median income including military is approximately $29,000 annually compared to $22,000 annually, excluding the military. In 1918, Congress established Camp Bragg, an Army field artillery site named for the Confederate General Braxton Bragg. An aviation landing field named after 1st Lt. Harley H. Pope, whose JN-4 Jenny crashed in the Cape Fear River, was added a year later. After five years, Camp Bragg became a permanent Army post renamed Fort Bragg. Today, Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base comprise one of the world's largest military installations. "Camp Bragg" was established in 1918 when the Army needed to expand its field artillery training facilities in preparation for World War I. They chose this location because it met the major criteria: a climate suitable for year-round training and close proximity to a port and rail transportation. The post came into existence in 1918, when 127,000 acres of desolate sand hills and pine trees were designated as a U.S. Army installation. Named for Confederate General Braxton Bragg, a former artillery officer from North Carolina, the camp became Fort Bragg in 1922, after Congress decided all artillery sites east of the Mississippi River should become permanent posts. The camp was redesignated as Fort Bragg, Sept. 30, 1922. Fort Bragg's rich "airborne" history and tradition was launched in 1934 with the first military parachute jump, which used artillery observation balloons as platforms. However, it wasn't until two decades later that the post became an airborne training site. The fort grew slowly, reaching a total of 5,400 soldiers by the summer of 1940. With the threat of World War II and passage of the Selective Service Act, a reception station was built here and Fort Bragg exploded to a population of 67,000 soldiers within a year. In 1942, the first airborne units trained here in preparation for combat. All five World War II airborne divisions the 82nd, 101st, 11th, 13th and 17th, trained in the Fort Bragg-Camp Mackall area. The 82nd Airborne Division was assigned here in 1946, upon its return from Europe. In 1951, XVIII Airborne Corps was reactivated here and Fort Bragg became widely known as the “home of the airborne.” The Psychological Warfare Center (now U.S. Army Special Operations Command) was established here in 1952 and Fort Bragg became headquarters for special forces soldiers. More than 200,000 young men underwent basic combat training here during 1966-70. At the peak of the Vietnam War in 1968, Fort Bragg’s military population rose to 57,840. July 1, 1973, Fort Bragg came under the U.S. Army Forces Command headquartered at Fort McPherson, Georgia. Today, Fort Bragg is the world's largest airborne facility with more than 45,000 military personnel. Widely known as the "home of the airborne," Fort Bragg houses the 82nd Airborne Division, assigned here in 1946 after returning from Europe, and the XVIII Airborne Corps, reactivated here in 1951. The U.S. Army Parachute Team (the Golden Knights) also calls Fort Bragg home. Fort Bragg is the home of the airborne. For more than half a century, Fort Bragg has had a proud heritage as the Home of the Nation's Finest fighting forces. The XVIII Airborne Corps was originally activated as the II Armored Corps at Camp Polk, LA., Jan 17, 1942. It was redesignated XVIII Corps Oct 9, 1943 at the Presidio of Monterey, California. The Corp's birthday is Aug 25, 1944. The same day the XVIII Airborne Corps assumed command of the 82d and 101st Airborne Divisions. Today the XVIII Airborne Contingency Corps is the only airborne corps in the defense establishment of the United States and exercises control over the 82d Airborne Division; 101 Airborne Division (Air Assault), Fort Campbell, KY; 3rd Infantry Division (Mechanized) Fort Stewart, GA; 10th Mountain Division, Fort Drum, NY; 194th Armor Brigade, Fort Knox, KY; 18th Field Artillery; 18th Personnel Group; 108th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, Fort Bliss, TX; 44th Medical Brigade, XVIII Airborne Artillery; 11th Air Defense Artillery Brigade; 1st Corps Support Command; 16th Military Police Brigade; 20th Engineer Brigade; 25th Military Intelligence Brigade; Dragon Brigade; 18th Finance Group; 18th Aviation Brigade and 35th Signal Brigade; 2nd ACR. The Psychological Warfare Center - now the U.S. Army Special Operations Command - was established here in 1952, and Fort Bragg units include the 1st Corps Support Command, 44th Medical Brigade, XVIII Airborne Corps Artillery, 18th Aviation Brigade, 35th Signal Brigade, and more. Fort Bragg and neighboring Pope Air Force Base form one of the largest military complexes in the world. Much like a large city, Fort Bragg has its own schools, shopping malls, medical facilities, housing and churches. Almost every type of recreation and athletics is available. Golf courses, pools, lakes, bowling lanes, hunting fields, craft shops and much more are all around you. The Atlantic to the East and the Appalachian Mountains to the West offer a variety in scenery for the traveler. There is plenty to see and do on a short weekend or month's leave in North Carolina. Hunting for dove, quail, deer, and boar is available within 25-100 miles. Good fishing is available within 10-100 miles. Snow skiing - North Carolina Mountains within 275 miles. Point of interest in the area: Blue Ridge Mountains and Pisgh Forest, 275 miles; Lake Tillery, 175 miles; Battleship "North Carolina" in Wilmington, 100 miles; Old Salem in Winston-Salem, 125 miles. BRAC 2005 Secretary of Defense Recommendations: In its 2005 BRAC Recommendations, DoD recommended to realign Fort Bragg by relocating the 7th Special Forces Group (SFG) to Eglin AFB, FL, and by activating the 4th Brigade Combat Team (BCT), 82d Airborne Division and relocating European-based forces to Fort Bragg, NC. The total estimated one-time cost to the Department of Defense to implement this recommendation would be $334.8M. The net of all costs and savings to the Department during the implementation period would be a savings of $446.1M. Annual recurring costs to the DoD after implementation would be $23.8M, with no payback expected. The net present value of the costs and savings to the Department over 20 years would be a cost of $639.2M. DoD estimated that this recommendation would not result in any job reductions over the 2006-2011 period. Environmentally, this recommendation might result in operational restrictions to protect cultural or archeological resources at Fort Bragg. Tribal consultations might also be required. Further analysis may be necessary to determine the extent of new noise impacts at Bragg. Increased water demand at Fort Bragg might lead to further controls and restrictions and water infrastructure might need upgrades due to incoming population. An evaluation of operational restrictions for jurisdictional wetlands would likely have to be conducted at Fort Bragg. Added operations might impact threatened and endangered species at Fort Bragg and would result in further operational and training restrictions. This recommendation would require spending approximately $1.0M for environmental compliance costs. In another recommendation, DoD would realign Yeager Airport AGS, WV, by realigning eight C-130H aircraft to Pope/Fort Bragg to form a 16 aircraft Air Force Reserve/active duty associate unit. DoD also recommended to close Pittsburgh International Airport (IAP) Air Reserve Station (ARS), PA, and relocate 911th Airlift Wing’s (AFRC) eight C-130H aircraft to Pope/Fort Bragg to form a 16 aircraft Air Force Reserve/active duty associate unit. It would also Relocate AFRC operations and maintenance manpower to Pope/Fort Bragg. DoD also recommended to close General Mitchell Air Reserve Station (ARS). In another recommendation, DoD would realign Ft Eustis, VA, Ft Jackson, SC, and Ft Lee, VA, by relocating all mobilization processing functions to Ft Bragg, NC, designating it as Joint Pre-Deployment/Mobilization Site Bragg/Pope. Secretary of Defense Justification: The first recommendation would co-locate Army Special Operation Forces with Air Force Special Operations Forces at Eglin AFB, activate the 4th BCT of the 82nd Airborne Division and relocate Combat Service Support units to Fort Bragg from Europe to support the Army modular force transformation. DoD claimed that this realignment and activation of forces would enhance military value and training capabilities by locating Special Operations Forces (SOF) in locations that best support Joint specialized training needs, and by creating needed space for the additional brigade at Fort Bragg. DoD acknowledged that this recommendation would never pay back. However, it claimed that the benefits of enhancing Joint training opportunities coupled with the positive impact of freeing up needed training space and reducing cost of the new BCT by approximately $54-$148M (with family housing) at Fort Bragg for the Army's Modular Force transformation, would justify the additional costs to the Department. The C-130 unit would remain as an Army tenant on an expanded Fort Bragg. Careful analysis of mission capability indicated that it would be more appropriate to robust the proposed airlift mission at Fort Bragg to an optimal 16 aircraft C-130 squadron, which would provide greater military value and offers unique opportunities for Jointness. Assuming no economic recovery, this recommendation could result in a maximum potential reduction of 7,840 jobs (4,700 direct jobs and 3,140 indirect jobs) over the 2006-2011 period in the Fayetteville, NC, Metropolitan Statistical economic area (4.0 percent). The third recommendation would realign the 440th Airlift Wing’s operations, maintenance and Expeditionary Combat Support (ECS) manpower to Fort Bragg. The fourth recommendation would realign eight lower threshold mobilization sites to four existing large capacity sites and transforms them into Joint Pre-Deployment/ Mobilization Platforms. This action would be expected to have the long-term effect of creating pre- deployment/mobilization centers of excellence, leverage economies of scale, reduce costs, and improve service to mobilized service members. These joint platforms would not effect any of the services units that a have specific unit personnel/equipment requirements necessitating their mobilization from a specified installation. This recommendation specifically targeted four of the larger capacity mobilization centers located in higher density Reserve Component (RC) personnel areas. These platforms had the added military value of strategic location, Power Projection Platform (PPP) and deployment capabilities. The gaining bases all had an adjoining installation from another service(s), thereby gaining the opportunity to increase partnership and enhance existing joint service facilities and capabilities. These new joint regional predeployment/redeployment mobilization processing sites, Fort Dix, Fort Lewis, Fort Bliss and Fort Bragg had the capability to adequately prepare, train and deploy members from all services while reducing overall mobilization processing site manpower and facilities requirements. Numerous other intangible savings would be expected to result from transformation opportunities by consolidating all services’ mobilization operations and optimizing existing and future personnel requirements. Additional opportunities for savings would also be expecte from the establishment of a single space mobilization site capable of supporting pre-deployment/mobilization operations from centralized facilities and infrastructure. Community Concerns: There were no formal expressions from the community. Commission Findings: The Commission found that this recommendation was consistent with DoD’s justification. Specifically, the Commission views that the relocation of the 7th Special Forces Group to Eglin AFB, FL, provides this unit an opportunity to achieve outstanding joint training through its collocation with the Air Force Special Operations Command. Also, the Commission found that this relocation enables the activation of the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82D Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, NC, and it is consistent with the Army’s transformation efforts and the Force Structure Plan. The Commission found that though the Mission Compatibility Index (MCI) tool did not accurately capture all aspects of the base’s military value and may appear to have favored larger bases, it appears to have been applied consistently. Regarding Mitchell’s Airlift MCI score, the Commission verified that there was in fact a calculation error for the formula assessing the quality of an installation’s pavement. Even after correcting the error, however, the base still ranked as one of two of the lowest scoring Air Force Reserve bases, according to the Air Force. The Commission found this recommendation supportable. The Commission established C-130 wings at Dobbins Air Reserve Base, Georgia and Pope Air Force Base, North Carolina. This recommendation is consistent with the Commission’s Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve Laydown plan. Commission Recommendations: The Commission found the Secretary’s recommendation consistent with the final selection criteria and force structure plan. Therefore, the Commission approved the recommendation of the Secretary. Copy and Paste from the official Ft.

  25. I also sent an email to Waugh and this is what I got. Date: 7/4/2009 5:32:24 AM Central Daylight Time From: BILLYWCCN To: HOMES4UBYJO Mam, I believe we have exchanged email previously, and I believe we ceased and desisted, after a few accusations made v. me. I sure as heck was not Dan Cooper, but believe I know who was. Take care, Billy Waugh sends A photo was in this space but I will have to attach it for you to view. The date and time I sent my email. In a message dated 7/4/2009 4:11:52 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, Note: I do not remember emailing him, as I have no file of that address and it may have been during the time my computer crashed and using my husbands. Snowmman: I have read every thread you have posted and viewed all the photos. I found somethings that the rest of you would not notice (because I am Weber specific). Remember when I would talk about Mouse and Mickey Mouse and Mighty Mouse - well, that is mentioned in the writings of Waugh. It was something Duane had said and because of an item he had in that "special place" that he was so protective of. This is why I kept on and on about the Mouse. I took a lot of ridicule and some very bad things off of one of the posters who came back with some really nasty stuff. But right now I think it was all worth it...now I know. There are those who corresponded with me from the very beginning in 1997 who are aware that I have questioned this Mouse and Mickey Mouse thing all of these yrs and yet NO ONE ever told me it was connected to Viet Nam. I also questioned phrases Duane used that were Vietamese. No, you are not going to hear me go on and on - about this, but it is all somewhat ODD to me. Do I think Duane was in Viet Nam? - NO, but I do think he had some kind of exposure. Perhaps just the times. I have an old large pocket knife that looks like it has been buried with a piece of cord in it. Sluggo saw this when he was here and dismissed it because it was dirty dirty - and it was not pink. I seriously doubt that if buried with the money for many yrs and having been wet it would still be pink. It looks like the core threads of the chute cord in a photo one of you posted. Also when a man is cutting a cord he forms a loop and then pulls the knife thru the loop to make the cut. Did the FBI take DNA from the cord and did they protect that cord from being handled over the yrs. Snowmman: In Tosaw's interview with Tina - or one of her interviews there was a mention of a green bag - sticking out from a compartment of the briefcase. This was only mentioned over the yrs in one source? I wonder if it was army green or bright green...and what was the fabric? I have enjoyed just lofting and reading and doing my own thing - I am not technical savy as the rest of you nor am I objective about my subject, I would appreciate if someone will address these in a PM so that I do not take away from the direction this thread has taken. I have verified that Duane's 2 stepsons where in the service - in 1968 - one was stationed at Breming and the other in (Special Forces)...and also stationed in WA. Both were still active duty in 1971. Any question can be directed thru PM or my regular email. The attachment is what Waugh sent in his email. I think it might be his mililtary way of making a joke..."I believe I know who was" and then there is the Comic Cover in the email body.
