That's a good point. Especially when talking about political issues and martyrs. But, if we play Monopoly and I cause you to lose your money, I don’t need credit. Or, if I want to draw attention to an issue, not a cause, drawing attention to me will just get me arrested. Sluggo I have tried to state this same thing, but of course I do not have the word power to make myself understood. Thank You, Sluggo for stating the obvious which the "FBI" seems to miss. Not everyone fits a profile - especially crimes that were commited almost 38 yrs ago - when this world was very different from the world that the current FBI deals with - if they want to win this battle they have to think "1971" and put themselves in 1971 and take into the thought process the politics of the time. In 1971 everything was not about "money" - there were more important issues . Ckret what do you know about the history of the 60's and 70's? - stop and think.

For my first post I hate to question the FBI agent, but are sure? Everything I've ever read or seen on the case has Captain Scott, First Officer Rataczak and flight engineer Anderson, with Rataczak being the PIC. Thank You Mr. Nuke - since everything I have to say is questioned and Ckrets opinion as a FBI agent terminates written reports, I did not want to be the first one to CORRECT agent Ckret. Just proves he makes mistakes just as he may be making one with his "opinion" of that print report. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

I recieve a phone call from China and a written report of his experience during this time is in the process of being prepared. I have one, but tired of trying to find it in all of this "stuff". When he was in the states he had more important matters to tend to and did not contact Ckret, but now feels compelled to come forward. After I recieve it - it will go to the FBI. Ckret I think I sent you the one he prepared before...did I not. Ckret please send me the information I requested - and please refrain from stating opinions on the prints - use the reports and ask the people who wrote the report what was meant. This is typical of the things that have been done since 1971 - and then the truth and he said or she said gets all tangled up. No one knows what was really meant by that report other than the person who prepared it. We have to go by what they wrote and what it says is that NO prints matched the Prints of Duane L. Weber. It would be very ODD if not one print of Duane's was not on that resume. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

Some one who would take the words of only one person in this forum and say they have a mental problem is the one who has a problem. I am taking the words that were written by Ckret and doing the same thing you all do.

Tina has never seem the photos of Duane - and the one's I have saved for her eyes only - because of a certain look - no one has seen the photos that clearly resemble Christiansen and Mayfield - Duane was a chameleon with his appearance. Florence has said "You are on to Something" when viewing the Christiansen photo but she was shown an old picture of Duane (with a phone camera) and said he was to old - no explanation was given of age and the time frame of the picture. One of the pictures I am trying to get scanned closely resembles Christansen in the pose and with the chin down...yes, he has on glasses. Like I have said I would donate money to Tina's charity of her choice for the chance to sit down with her with the photos and explain the time frames and ask one or two very important questions. There needs to be several photos of each subject with age explanations. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

NOTE - file prints also did not match the fingerprint evidence the FBI obtained from me like the Resume. NO prints on Duane's file matched the prints for Duane L. Weber that were provide in 2003. This is not important in the whole picture - but only Ghost leave no prints. It just raised a question I nor the FBI have an answer for at this time...he died in 1995 and they collected that resume in 1997 and I was careful not to handle it much. They did not collect the OTHER items until 2003 so I can see how they may not have been able to get good prints from those items. Thank for verifying my James Earl Ray story. I may not have understood it within in its entirety and still do not, but at least it did happen and you were able to find that it did happen. The FBI told me it never happened. If you would be so kind pm or post the reference you found for my records. Thank You, Orange. I am in your debt. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

Actual composit versus Galens Composite used in Bay Depot NO, they do not look alike I will post the unaltered orginal below with and without the glasses. I wish I had a good pic of what he published so that a side by side could be done - then you would get the point. He changed the chin, filled the cheek, change the eyebrows and sutle shading to make it appear to look more like his suspect. These are the most noticeable alteration.

This time line has gone out of the realm or reality to support the money in the Ciolumbia and is too far off from what the pilots said and the data read in 1971. Why doesn't someone call Radeczk before he dies. That is the RIGHT thing to do. Dispute studies but dispute them with FACTS - and there is only one person who can provide those facts alive today. But everyone would rather wait until he dies and continue to debate this till the end of time. - 8:20 is to far off...and not realistic.

The time line was stretched to beyond the MAX because others wanted it that way - Talk to or call Radecek and you will get correct info. This is the one thing no one is doing - not contacting witnesses that are still alive. That Co-pilot knows the times and what equipment was being used and the times if they are relayed or actual time. This was examined by the experts - that made allowances at the time for error and now that time line has gone way beyond reality...just because someone doesn't know how the money got into the Columbia and to support their own stories they have to confuse the facts. For example - Galen Cook used composites that the FBI had, but he altered the composite and did not do a disclaimer. Therefore the public who is unaware of the alterations accept the composite as the original. He did this for his OWN benefit and not for the BENEFIT of the TRUTH. Is there not a law about altering a composite or piece of art without a disclaimer? Especially for personal gain. This is why I needed to know where you got your information and for you to be clear on the ACTUAL flight info and not use something that has gone out of the realm of believablity for the purpose of profit...and to push a suspect. If you are going to use the pushed time lines - substanciate it yourself by talking to the pilot and not by hearsay or rearranged information...for the purpose of appeasing or gaing favor. Do not allow yourself to be used. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

Georger - I am noting that you are stating many things as though they are fact. What are you using for a reference for these facts? Cook made his announcement regarding Gossett posting altered composites in the paper (without a disclaimer) to the general public who are completely unaware there have been such alterations - Since he was so unetchical about that he would also stoop to having someone come into the forum to alter FACTs. When Cook was asked about the found Money he said that answer would be forthcoming. You came into the forum right after that and I started all of these post about the found money -- so I hope you understand why I am asking questions. I just want to be sure you have ALL of the information and to give an Unbias opinion. Please, for my information state your reference source on some of the factual statements - such as about leveling off and seeing the lights of Portland and Vancouver. You also state a lot of very technical information - what are your creditials? - I may have missed it and a lot of this stuff goes WAY over my head. I would hope that those posting technical information are here to help and not being biased or influenced by anything other than facts. As you know already I and others have explainations of how that money got into the Columbia. I have maintained that the money was stored in a bucket (probably plastic paint bucket) in the ground not too far from the Columbia. That part of it was found in 1979 and thrown into the Columbia around late Sept or Oct of that yr. I frankly don't think that all of the money was put in the same place...but that is conjecture on my part since Duane left me twice for several hours - one of which he came back to the motel soiled in The Dalles area. He also left me in the Car on the WA side of the river West of the airport and went down to the river and that we stopped before we left the area at the Red Lion ( on the WA side at the main bridge to Portland) where he threw into the Columbia a paper sack he said had trash in it. In your evaluations please keep some of this in mind in order to give an unbais opinion (if you are a professional in this field). Sorry if I offended you, but I have learned NEVER to trust anyone.

Snowmman everytime I get a little energy I come to the computer then get so upset that I haven't been able finish your request. I did not find anything near the 1971 era - remember that the post 1972 photos were gathered from all over the country by an investigator as I had nothing of his past photos when all of this came up. He does have his glasses on in most of the photos and I found 3 without the glasses (these are later in life and nowhere near 1971). I haven't completely gone thru the albums, but all of the photos are going to be 1980 - 1995. This is strange - since he did not need glasses to drive - basically to read - why did he always wear glasses? I never noticed that he had his glasses on for photos. It just did not occur to me. The photos without glasses are snapshot made in fun or taken unexpectantly as you will be able to see from the expression on his face and one where he appears to be mad - he was "mad" because I took that picture - - - -. Some of these are faded and he has this wide open mouth and raised eyebrow thing going on in every (EVERY) shot without Glasses? I will keep looking then I have to find the negatives since the photos are fading. I will scan the ones I have but I am wary of posting them because of the expression, but then maybe that will help. I have something going thru my mind after this photo search - WHY did he have his glasses on for photos and WHY is it that every one of the non-glasses photos show this stupid clown expression. Was that on purpose? 17 yrs of photos and this is the case on every non-glasses photo. I am shaking my head as I read this. I am sending you a pm.

Why? Is this because with a very small amount of investigation your stack of cards collapses? I'm still asking for some sort of hard evidence. The Federal Government has, in their quest to find the real Cooper, has pretty much slammed the door shut on Weber. DNA, fingerprints and even the circumstantial evidence points away from Weber. Even a jury in TX would find a conviction with this evidence. NOTE: Nothing has changed regarding Duane - NOTHING. They do not know if any of the prints belonged to Cooper. I have no verification that the 1944 prints and the 1966 prints match and why Duane's prints as per the file are not on that resume. This raises a lot of questions in MY mind as to the credibility of the prints. How can you do a resume and have it for several yrs without your prints being on it. That make me think that maybe the prints they are comparing with are not Duane's print. I need for this matter to be fixed or resolved and I don't know how to do it. Now to me it is not a matter of Cooper or not - it is a matter of prints on file and the comparison of all his prison prints to the masters. Was he a ghost? Only a ghost can do a resume with NO PRINTS. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

ALL of the below if for information only and a mute point as long a comparision had been made of the 1944 file on Duane versus the prints in the System at his death. From what I have been told and read when they started the automated system they used the MOST current prints as they were far more printable and better than the older files.? In the 60's as this was happening things did HAPPEN regardless of what the FBI would lead us to believe. CARR: EXPLAIN how it happened with RAY in 1966. I am not attacking you, but correct information needs to be made available to the public and not just what you guys are schooled in. There are loops and curves in life and this one the FBI experienced in 1966 or so. If the prints of 1944 were indeed use that's great, but I doubt they used those prints for the system - it just was NOT the norm because of the condition of some of the old files. To prove my point - go read the files on James Earl Ray and writings of JJ Mahoney and Newpaper article of that time about James Earl Ray"s escape from Jefferson.

I was replying to whatever someone had said in a prior post and will not go back to see what that was. I will again state that my story does NOT change. How many hours and days and wks have we been at this. I was probably inflamed by a prior post and firing off. What I do have the forum would call hear-say and what I did say about knowing where he was during that time is again "Hearsay". How MANY times have you and others been critical of me on that subject? If you go back to the very beginning in this forum or another or in my letters to the FBI - the story about the trimming of the trees has been told since I first talked to his employer of the time in the very early yrs of my search. I have notes and tapes I cannot use regarding other things during that time span. These things are TIME specific as I know of no other times except between Nov 1971 and Feb 1972 that the opportunity presents itself for the parties to be in Ca. during 1962 and 1971. I have always kept these thing CONFIDENTIAL, but you force me to defend myself. Now you will come back and say - that is he said, she said. I do not always remember every detail in a heated reply - I am not an attorney nor someone schooled in such matters. I assure you that I can produce emails and written material supporting the tree trimming from way back - there are now 5 suitcases full of stuff. Continued to be ARRESTED??? You are making a lot do do about nothing. The arrests after 1968 at the time of the Commutation: I am aware of the DUI and having a gun in 1976 in Jacksonville and the DUI in Ft.Collins, Co. in 1979 HOW can you make just a big deal over those. It looks like to me he did tried to go straight - he was rehabilitating himself and he has a couple of set-backs. STOP trying to pick apart eveything I say. This petty.

This if true and how I am understanding it - does support my theory or report that the prints on the system do not belong to Duane - if they did not update them with the arrests that occured after 1968 and the commutation. I do not see how Duane's prints would not be on that resume...and seems to support the idea that his file prints had been altered. As for the file on Duane it would have been nice if the FBI had provided that and the print report yrs ago...not having that information has cost me yrs of grief and time... better spent elsewhere. Thank you for letting me know - at this point in life it makes no different that it is now public other than those who would say "She had to have known". I do not need for people to think less of me than a few already do. Please do send or email on my private email (not thru the forum) the details of those arrests and the dates and locations. This would have been very helpful in my finding his daughter who I think I have found and is deceased from the same hereditary disease that brought about his demise. I do not know how we go about getting prints of Duane at this date. Perhaps the actual prints taken from an arrest such as in Jacksonville. He had a DUI around 1979 in Ft. Collins, Fl. I do not remember if he was printed. He was cremated and I do not know if they keep the cremation prints on file after 10 yrs or if they are even required to make them.. I do not even know who to contact, but will make some phone calls tomorrow. I want to know if those prints match the 1944 prints. I don't know why? For me to close this chapter of my search - DID the FBI compare the 1944 prints agains the master file? Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

I found that profound and to think I was embarassed about being married to a 6 time felon serving 17 yrs for those crimes - this is even worse. I knew about the 1976 arrest - he said he had a gun and he got a DUI. What is actually causing me to do a double take is the fact that they didn't throw the book at him in 1976 - I thought it was illegal for a convicted felon to possess a gun. How could they miss this - 26 arrests, that is an incorrigible - not someone you would want on the streets? How and why except for that one time did he not get arrested and convicted after being released from Jefferson in 1968? Did he learn from past mistakes or did he just stay out of trouble? I still don't understand the print thing and I read it several time - it makes it sound like that no prints belonging to Weber or his AKA's were on that resume. That is impossible...so I must not be understanding it. I am trying to find the GOOD in all of this and the only good I see or read is that for some reason Duane changed his life style - Love or accident or by design - I don't know and even with the embarassement involved with this disclosure - I have to look at maybe just maybe he found someone who deserved better than he had to offer and for once in his life wanted to do the right thing. I know I confronted him on many issues about right and wrong in our business and in our marriage, but had I know all of that I would have been gone - faster than a magician pulling a bunny out of a hat. I still, even with all of this, more than ever believe he was Cooper - and that it was DUMB LUCK that he survived. When he did survive - he knew he could never go back. I don't believe he changed for me, I believe he changed out of fear - just like he said in the dream. He thought he had left prints. Everything I find takes me back to my original words - he had nothing to loose and then he had everything to loose. He did not think he would survive that jump - it was his last Hoorah. Die a slow death by dialysis or a quick one doing the BIG one just like they talked about and planned in one of the many prisons... Jefferson. Maybe it took someone Dumb to pull a stunt like that or desperate? Maybe he wanted to go out in Glory either with the Jump or by claiming to be Cooper - except I have a problem with that - the stub, the ticket and the bag and the places he took me and showed me over a 17yr period. That is the part that is the hardest to get around...if he is ever proven not to be Cooper. Until then I would like answers about the prints on the resume. Did I read that right? - no prints on the resume matched any file prints for Duane L. Weber...please don't just state what you think - verify that with the lab.

There was a registration card signed by " D B Cooper ". The name on that card was "------------" .

Dan Cooper - because I stated to him on that day "I know you used another name but I never heard that one." Which is why it stood out. I knew about the John Collins name as I learned that in 1990 when he was arrested for trying to obtain a drivers license using false identification for John Collins. The highway patrol thought he was my father because of the age and the fact that the van was register to Jo---- Collins Weber. There is nothing in that other than the fact that I knew about the John Collins name - it is a matter of public record in early 1990 in two counties. I believe that I even denied knowing this at one time because of the embarrassment of having found out I was married to a 6 time felon.

, I had no idea who Dan Cooper was - I told someone what he said way before I ever read the book that had stated that D.B was Dan. It may well have been the guy I first told the story too - because I had kept all of it to myself up until then - because I didn't know who Dan Cooper was. Remember I say to him "I know you used another name but I never heard that one". THIS is when he tries to tell me who Dan Cooper is. There is NO doubt what he said.
