The FBI constructing this Amboy Chute - NOT hardly. 1. There was a vague map indicating it was out off a road, but WHERE was it in conjunction with the Stores at the Cross Roads in Amboy? I have a reason (nothing important) for asking this question regarding the Amboy find. Rather than clutter up the thread with useless trivia send me a map I can open on my old system..by regular email address which is in my profile. 2. What is Missing? I mentioned earlier that perhaps the old Amboy chute was the canvas inside of the dummy chute. It still bugs me what happened to it. Obviously Cooper knew it was a dummy. a. Did he actually use it? Nahhh But maybe - see C below. b. Did he know what it was and used the container to put the money in? Throwing the canvas out to the plane when he jumped. c. Did he use it NOT knowing it was not a real FRONT pack? Then used it to provide shelter and protection on the ground. Remember I have NOT told ALL Duane said to me on that trip in 1979. In 1996 I didn't know every detail was significant because the FBI did NOT ask me any specific details. In 1998 the FBI dismissed Weber and NO one wanted to know what I might have remembered. I could NOT afford to go to WA and when I did get to GO with the crew - the GUIDE was a 2 yr college student who did NOT know the area. They were NOT interested enough to provided a local guide who knew the area. Crew was all young and they drove FAST! Was just too much in my face at one time. They also had been listening to JT too much - and formed their opinion base on the hype he promoted. Coulda, woulda, Shoulda - nothing anyone can do about it at this time. Other than for me to tell even the little things I remember, but no one left now who can actually go back in time 42 yrs or to 1979. It is very difficult to find pictures of the area made around 1979 - so I had NO grounds to stand on. With pictures taken in 1979 versus pictures made of a specific area JT was dissing - this could have been over yrs ago - BUT, now it is just a matter of my saying what has to be said and leaving for someone in the future if there are any clues left to be found.

DUH! Jo is NOT part of THAT at all! The only thing I have thought about the AMBOY Chute was that it may have been the packing in the dummy chute. Cooper did something with that Dummy chute, but NO one has ever answered a question I had about it. If Cooper opened that chute and saw it was a Dummy I expect he might have thrown it out of the plane in anger. NO one has answered the question about if the dummy chute pouch was large enough for the bag and how long it would have taken to contain the money within that dummy pouch. They lace up - that is all I know or are they hook laces that release with a tug in the right place. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

Did you ever speak to Cossey? I did and you really have a gut feeling for things. I had my 4 conversations with him over the yrs. 1st time he bit my head off as I had called the only number I had (it was his wife's number)! I was TOLD never CALL that number again. He provided me with another number & 3 of the calls were answered by him on the road. He seemed to only answer my calls when he was ON the ROAD...maybe he was just always in the road. He sent some pictures & I still have them. He circled things & he wrote notes on them. Of course I do not know what most of it meant. This was back when we discussed the hardware - but even today I could never scan such large files. I could make photo copies and mail them to an interested party - NOT BRUCE, NOT ANYONE who has been RUDE to me or made fun of me! They are all full pages & perhaps he provided such pictures to others. He sent me some close-ups of the hardware...now I do NOT know if this was for 'HIS' Chute or for Hayden's chute. Frankly I would like to share these with someone - I think they show the human and compassionate part of Cossey. NOT one time did he tell me that WEBER was not Cooper....if he didn't believe me I doubt he would ever have taken my calls or provided me with the pictures. I was unable to comprehend what the was telling me so he sent me the pictures. I did send him a THANK YOU by snail mail. He was NEVER unkind, but then I only spoke with him those 4 times. The first one was real brief and the others - not long at all - but he did answer my questions and realized I did NOT understand - why he sent me those pages. Over these 17 yrs I have spoke with many of the key individuals and that includes Sheridan Petersen. Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 2013, 2014, 2015 by Jo Weber

You cannot even stay on subject! Other are trying like myself to bring this down to Truths and Fables about the chutes. YOU are being self-centered and self-serving with your off subject postings that are only to INFLAME! None of your postings will be answered by me other than to comment on the myths you are trying to perpetuate. YOUR posting are SHOWING YOUR true reasons for posting anything at all. "Let's get this SHOW on the ROAD! Come on JO let's GET on down the ROAD! What Duane said the night before he died while a horrid rain PELTED the windows of his hospital ROOM. I thought it was the morphine - but Duane was actually reliving his night on that plane! WHY I believe that he was really Cooper. A most unlikely suspect - but, the morphine did NOT cause him to shout out that statement, but since I didn't know what it meant - I assumed it was the morphine. The next day he died! That night he was NOT using the F word. It is all written down in my planner and the planner was with me every day in the hospital. What he said the next day before he died - I did NOT understand but now I do. "Take the baby down stairs , bring the baby upstairs, I can't go till the baby gets here" I thought he was referencing my daughter because she was very pregnant and had come to see him a few days before. NO - it was Tina going down the stairs and bringing the chutes & money up...that is what I believe and that does NOT make it so. What I have stated above is the truth and nothing, but the truth with my own words interjected when I contacted the FBI in 1996 and in the process of learning more about the crime....and what I still to this day believe!

Jo, You need to mend some fences with Bruce Smith. He is the thread's expert on the subject of the hijacking parachutes. Surely you remember that he posted some lengthy articles with pictures of those parachutes some time back. I have no idea what Cossey would say about the parachutes, assuming he said anything in the first place. On the matter of the left-hand pull, Cossey would not make that change unless requested by Hayden, or whoever owned the parachute. And for an emergency parachute, the only reason for a left-hand pull is that the owner and normal wearer of the parachute is left handed. While I have seen skydivers with right-hand pull ripcords mounted on the right side of the body, that has now apparently gone the way of ripcords in general with respect to serious skydivers. Robert99 ROBERT99 READ what I said: Hayden sent 2 chutes that had been packed by Cossey! BOTH chutes identical with diffent containers. Robert - what is that telling you? Cossey says he sent 2 chutes and one was with a left hand pull. So that is 2 more chutes. Hayden was reimbursed for his chute Cossey was reimbursed for a chute. Yet, it was supposedly Hayden's chute Cooper used. Why would Cossey get paid for a chute if neither of his were used? Hayden 2 chutes Cossey 2 chutes Forget the front chutes they are not important other than what happened to the dummy chute. Did Cooper use it for something? I could care less what BRUCE wrote he cannot write anything FACTUAL as he has to FLOWER It to his way of thinking & believe you me he can mess things up. Have YOU ever read what he wrote about Tina! LOOK and READ what he did to TINA and her sister and brother-in-law and YOU call him a WRITER - no way. An Inquirer reporter - yea! If he is writing a book about a real crime - believe U me it will just be another freak story...I told him to LEAVE me out of the BOOK entirely! I have been a VICTIM of his lies and story telling - therefore I do NOT believe a word he says. I catch you lieing and abusing someone 1st time - you don't get a second chance.

Blevins DID YOU SAY THIS? U REALLY said THIS - you never sent the package to Mitchell! Oh MY GOD! You bragged about it on this thread & to Vickie & others - HOW many FRICKING times did you say you sent it & NOW you are cornered - OH MY! YOU are one BIG looser. I never wanted to believe you were as bad as other poster stated, but NOW - it is obvious you have lied & lied on this thread - NOTHING is real any more. HOW many yrs have YOU cost REAL people doing REAL work....people with more than just a vested interest - but people like myself and Vickie - you are a FRAUD! Please GO find a ROCK in a Desert & CRAW under it! PLEASE go away & never WASTE another precious moment of the lives & memories some us hold on to with all of our might. of the precious life & memories some of us hold on to with all of our might. You deliberately lied about something so insignifcant and then when you are CORNERED by individuals REALLY doing what they claimed - YOU then meekly admit you didn't do this or that - the point is you didn't just not do it - YOU DELIBERATELY LIED! YOU have WASTE enough time of those of US who ARE REALLY looking for answers. I REALLY hope you are exposed & NO ONE will ever buys any book you ever write. HOW can you even hold your head up and come back to this thread? THERE is one damn thing about JO - she has NEVER deliberately told a lie in all of these yrs - other than little teases and everyone knew when I was doing that. Sometimes I got confused about FACTS and the technical stuff - BUT I DID not deliberately lie - just to make someone pay attention to me - and that is ALL you are - a child telling a story so MAMA will give him some attentions! Folks I am sorry - there are stories and there is out and out fraud accomplished by telling WHOPPERS to get attention or sell a book and it makes me sick to my stomach. I just can't stop SHAKING my head in dismay and disgust! I realize you guys don't believe me most of the time - but, I know I am telling what I know in the best way I can - and I try to always be truthful - even when it sounds ridiculous. I cared when someone called me a liar - but, I knew I was telling what I did know to the best of my ability and only in a tease would I jokingly lie...you will usually see a smiley about that time. ALl the technical stuff was over my head - but when I got it I got it - it took the switches being thrown by everyone multiple time & sometimes after a lapse of a yr or two....rehashing old stuff....

*** Didn't say I 'emailed' or 'interviewed' him. Said I sent him a letter with several pictures and a cover letter. I did sort of stall on that, yes. Couldn't really decide what I should say in the cover letter. But after I was reminded about this a couple of days ago...I finally had Gayla mail it out on Monday. He should receive it in the next couple of days. THIS is exactly what WE all expected. Blevins - time to CHECK OUT! Really!

Grey Cop I could add a few things to the last chapter - you know WHY that chapter interested me, but you do NOT understand that it was that chapter that put the icing on the cake. Duane told me about Pyramid on our way to Tahoe His story was different than the story in the book. He used to know a man who lived there (bare in mind I have told this story to JT and to Himmelsbach - but, decided to back away....but, I did discuss this with Himmelsbach and why I kept trying to find the man/or woman) who wrote the book. ALSO why I communicated with someone in Pyramid trying to find a man who used to live there. As we drove throught the area he told me about Pyramid Lake and a little town near there...go back to my very early posting here and at 101. I know I talked about Pyramid there. I have phone record from my trying to get information. Duane was NOT alone in Pyramid and the person he knew there was an old jumper. He provided NO name, but there was a woman with him in the story he told me and his LADY of the day told me they had gone to Pyramid in their travels - they were alway running from the law. The only thing Duane said - was I used to know a man who lived there - seems like he mentioned something about a lake - I cannot imagine a lake in the middle of the desert. That was Pyramid Lake and I have spoke of Pyramid Lake. He told me there used to large rock all over that part of the desert - I didn't understand ROCKS in a desert. He also talked about the GUYS in CA. He spoke fondly of the CASCADES and the GUYS. He did mentions some little towns in the Cascades. If you go back to the time of my posting about Placerville and the little town in CA. you will find my memory of the area from there to Tahoe and the little down he told me about in CA N.W. of Lake Tahoe - about 17th - it was a numbered street where the boys used to stay. He told me about Reno and only stated he could never go there agaain. He talked about CARSON, but that we were NOT going there. You do know that Duane encarcerated in CA at both Folsom and SanQuentin. You do know Duane has an extensive past in the area. You do know that a family by the name of BARTH lived there and in WA. You know that Duane's family live in Arcadia, Huntington Bch, and right now I can't remember the other names. His sister in 1971 - lived in MODESTO and Duane and his ex spent some time in OAKDALE at some apts when they were on the run (they were on the run a lot). Duane's sister after she found out in 2004 that I was NOT the woman with him in 1971 - was relieved. For some reason from 1986 until 2004 thought I was THAT woman. They had spent a few days with her during the time after the skyjacking. Duane was the baby and his sister was the only one he let know he was even alive from 1971 until 1986 or 1987. She told me he would call her every yr at Christmas, but she never knew were he was calling from...not until they placed the FISTULA in his arm to ready him for diaylsis - a fistual he would not use until 1990. SHe had a heart attack in 2004 because she thought I was that woman. We had been invited to visit with the brother in Moreno Valley and in 2004 his sister was also living in the area. The brother was going to have a private meeting with me after dinner, but during the dinner we got a phone call that Duane's sister had had a heart attack - John & I never got to have that meeting. John was going to share with me something had talked to Richard Tosaw about (John and Richard had know each other from another location in CA. Both John and his wife knew Tosaw and his sister...the both belonged to the same boat club in that other location). I do NOT know why I am repeating all of this CRAP - no one will ever believe me or even care, but me. All anyone inrCooper World wants is the LEGEND - no one really cares about the truth. I lost my map of the CA/NV area in 2010 on my trip to WA - and I also lost in 2004 on a trip to CA with my husband to Loma Linda for Cancer treatment the Osha map of 1/2 of the US Duane and I had in the car. They don't make maps anymore that you can actually see and read - now they are so light - and the print so small they are useless to me - so they haven't been replaced. I had all of the little towns Duane took me to marked and all of the places we stayed, but now that is gone - the routes we took - now it is all gone. Soon my memories with fade (as the trip faded) and then he will be a memory no more. He gave me his secret, but stupid me didn't understand and stupid me just got rid of all of those things....if I had only know that DAN COOPER was the name given by D.B.Cooper - the proof was still in the vehicle or in the house. All of that stuff I just loaded into the car and took to the missions and/or sold at garage sales. I didn't understand he handed to me his SECRET in 1995 when he said "I'm Dan Coooper". Remember when we went to WA was in 1979. We had married in March 1977....no man waits 15 yrs to tell his wife a secret unless that secret would have put him in a prison cell till he died. He started telling me in 1977, but it was NOT time to tell me the rest of the story. I was his shield - now I know that. On our first meeting he knew I was a Collins and even asked me where my father was from and what my grand fathers name was (it was JOHN). Then in 1990 I find out because to the driver license he was obtaining under that name and got caught that he had been encarcerated as John C. Collins - for 16 months 1966 to 1968 - but he was sick and on the machine - I just told him the past was the past and I did NOT ask any questions - I shoud have because he was trying to tell me for 5 yrs who he was - but, he KNEW me and that I would TURN him in! So he played this right down to the line, but he waited too long - he didn't know he would die during a storm just like the night he jumped out of that plane. It was not a WA storm this was a FL thunder and lighting storm - BOTH nights he begged - he said we had to go for a ride - but I couldn't get him to the car....And so Duane Weber died on a STORMY March 18 th in 1995 - That last NIGHT the storm pelted against the Hospital windows - there were large windows in his room. He kept telling me "Jo, Let's get this SHOW on the Road - come on lets get on down the ROAD!" The nurses sedated him and told me to go home and get some rest - this was the night he was sitting up in the bed naked cross legged and chanting the phrase I just told you. The next moring wheni got to the hospital they told me they had been trying to reach me. He knew I was there and that was when he started to talk about Take the Baby Down Stair, No brind the BABY back up - I can't go this the Baby get here" "I love YOU" and then the death gurgle. THE END ON March 18 1995 Duane WEBER aka JOHN C. Collins aka DAN Cooper aka D.B. Cooper died the morning after a big storm....how damn appropriate. Until this moment I didn't realize how appropriate!

Jo Stated: Grey Cop Stated: ONE REQUEST GREY COP - SIT THIS ONE OUT! I AM TRYING TO DO GET EVERY ONE TO AGREE ON ONE THING... BY the way I found all of my notes and logs from 1996 - BEFORE I ever heard or read the book in question. The Cooper stuff is by hand and in the logs (I kept records in my planner) the one I used for work. The first 2 yrs I kept 2 spiral note books - they are worn and tattered. THose planners and spiral note books pretty much lays everything in the open. My phone conversations with the ex's & other people who knew Duane - the threath made by Tommy is there and my search for the old friends - my disappointments and the oh HA moments. Phone numbers - my communication with Petersen - yes way back then. The phone records - I spoke with Richard Peterson 3 times. I only remembered 2 discussion so the 3 connection was probably an anwering machine and my leaving a message. My calls to Himmelsbach are also there along with my calls to heaven only knows who.

Perhaps Blevins is not aware that parachute riggers keep a log book of their own about the emergency parachutes they pack. If Cossey had the parachute serial number by itself, he could easily check his packing log books. Blevins also does not seem to be aware of the unusual construction features of the 26 foot conical canopy that was used in NB-6 parachutes that were in use in 1971. By sheer coincidence, I personally owned an NB-6 until about the first of November 1971. If a canopy of that era was presented to me today, I could tell in less than 10 seconds if it was a POSSIBLE 26 foot conical canopy from an NB-6. Only a casual glance would be necessary to exclude it. Blevins, do you know what was unusual about the construction of the 26 foot conical canopies that were used in NB-6s? Robert99 Explain something to me. If the 2 chutes packed for Hayden by Cossey were IDENTICAL other than the container - why has Cossey gone on record stating one was a 28 ft and the other a 26 ft ? Or was Cossey talking about the 2 chutes he sent over which I understand did NOT make it to the skyjacker or the plane. Another question - if Hayden owned the 2 chutes provided to the Skyjacker - WHY has it been publized Cossey provided the chutes? This is very confusing! Bare in mind WE are NOT discussing the 2 front pacs from Issaqua - they are out of the picture at least for this line of questioning. I need clarification on this. Also - Why would Cossey pack one of Hayden's chutes with a left hand pull unless Hayden requested it. NOW does anyone understand why the CHUTE thing is confusing? Does anyone find any of the above confusing - I do. This information seems to contradict Cossey completely. I believe I need to find all of my old information that Cossey himself sent to me. It would be on disks or in hard copies - and the things I had on the computer - between 2000 and 2004 - I lost everything on my first computer, but I did print ALL of the important ones out as I was going - I did NOT understand BACK-up...but,after 2004 - I learned to understand BACK-UP! BLEVINS STAY OUT OF THIS DISCUSSION - I WANT TO KNOW WHAT GEORGER AND THE OTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS INFORMATION. I BELIEVE THE SOURCES I HAVE - BUT PERHAPS I AM NOT COMPREHENDING THE INFORMATION CORRECTLY. I JUST WANT THE CHUTE THING LAID OUT FACTUALLY FOR THE THREAD. NO MYTH MAKERS, PLEASE. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE CONFUSED BY ALL OF THE SENARIOS LAID OUT IN THE THREAD. FACTS AND ONLY FACTS. I believe once this is settled then the thread can go forward and others like myself will shut up. . Perhaps it is just JO that gets it all wrong and I am willing to accept that...but, I want is for the thread to do lay this out concisely and move on then to the front pacs - but leave them out until the main chutes have provided for concisely and information supported by the FBI - not writers of books or news articles.

YOU mean they won't argue with you on this issue! Why would they have to discuss it - The amboy Chute was not one of the 2 front chutes provided to Cooper...they have proven that. At least to my satisfaction & others who know what they are talking about. It is WHUFFOs like U & myself who created this Chute monster...but, it seems simple now. If I tried to explain it I would screw it all up - again! Accept this one statement - 2 chutes were provided to Cooper & they were identical except for the container.

Jo, Last night's wrong airport landing in Branson and the one a few weeks back in Wichita were both 100 percent pilot error. Each of the aircraft probably had a million dollars worth of avionics in the cockpit. Nevertheless, the pilot's didn't use that equipment. So all the major contributors to this thread were absent today? Baloney! You and Blevins have been posting at your usual 50 percent of the total posts rate. Robert99

Well, wonder how that happened? Someone SCREWING with their navigational systems or was it pilot error? If pilot error - some heads will roll....

Not trying to inflame you at all, but apparently that is easy to do, reread my statement. Because, I was here, before you even REGISTERED.

THAT part of your POST sums U up! YOU could care less about solving the case - yours is a search to find a suspect YOU think might be Cooper! You have neither the means nor the investigative skills to GO out and FIND a SUSPECT! HOPE U are REAL PROUD of the statement you made above - remember it is narrow minds and posters like yourself that keep the thread from progressing. WHAT have YOU in the time YOU have been on THIS thread been able to produce that was PRODUCTIVE in that goal? NOTHING - so the only things you say - mimic others and demean others. WHAT productive information have YOU offered to the thread? If you have productive information and investigations- post it! Other WISE STOP demeaning those who have put their hearts and souls and time for many yrs into this You are just someone passing thru who has nothing to offer other than trite and demeaning remarks attacking other posters who struggle to present their subject the best they can. YOUR claims of outing others is UNCALLED for. When you come to my home as others have done and look at & read the early letters and notes in pages of planners then you can make the kind of postings you made - claiming the old woman took information from another source. When YOU realize the old woman you attack - actually did the things she said and actually told the things she said - she did all of it in real time and without having read them somewhere, but having real knowledge of said things. COME & READ my notes and my letters and my notes from phone conversations and know NOTHING was contrived or taken from the story of others. Many times I explored what OTHERS claimed, but did my own investigated into the subject or story and often took a few steps into their territory - BUT, my REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE was always there waiting for my retreat BACK to that which I did know! I know I wrote down in my planner when that book arrived - it was sent to me - BECAUSE the stories I was tellling appeared similar to the stories I told about Weber. It was Mr. H who asked me if I had ever read it. It would be several months later before I was sent a COPY of it.....I saw the similarities, but not the same....that is when I started to investigate the BOOK - I had to know who wrote the book! I felt who ever wrote that BOOK knew Duane or had some kind of access. I have already stated the things I read and if I was aware f them before or after I read the book. My research NEVER led me to the writer/author! I wanted to know who did the charicatures - never found out. I still want to meet the person who wrote the book - but that person is probably deceased. MOST of the BOOK was FICTION, but there was sprinkling of things - things that I knew about Duane Weber - things that made me reason - if he wasn't Cooper he knew who wrote that book. I remembered a woman who was at the shop - she was stout and wore a business suit and her hair was dyed dark. She knew Duane from the past. This was NO ordinary woman - she was polished. I was on my way to an appt and didn't even have time to do more than say hello & how do you do, nice meeting you and I got to go. She was introduce as Fucks - HOW can I ever forget that name! Duane worked for a man by the name of Fucks. Duane dated a woman by the name of Fucks. So - is it just coincidence or did it mean something. NOW I didn't make any of that UP.

Your posting regarding me are demeaning and you are NOT qualified to dismiss Weber, If your purpose was only because of interest and to investigate the crime - remember you are NOT the judge and juror. Your demeaning statements about me and Weber indicates you have some SUPERIOUR knowledge of the subject. You SET YOUR SELF up as a JUDGE & JUROR and to continue to SPURT out negative and demonstratives regarding DUANE and the woman who spent 17 yrs with him and 17 yrs more researching his past - IS being a BULLY who IS DEMEANING another party and your KNOWLEDGE of the subject is very minute. Respectfully ask that YOU refrain from Making any COMMENT regarding the subject Weber or the poster JO. You have NOT even attempted to explore the man. YOU judge by hearsay and the memories of an old woman - NOT one thing HAVE YOU actually investigated - that is a good description of a BULLY. You do NOT even serve YOUR OWN stated reasons for being in the thread - and continuely denounce a suspect - you have NOT even investigated.

I am finally going to put my 2 CENTS into the AMBOY chute find. Silk does deteriorate in certain climates. HOT & Dry. What I have seen of the pictures do not seem compacted enough for silk - but you would have to touch and feels. Some of the new synthetics are go good you can't tell them apart.
