I have similar concerns - is Tom Kaye part of this? Thanks! Thanks also FJ.

The lab analysis found a variety of metals on the tie – most notably a unique and rare titanium alloy that Ulis’ research indicates was produced by only one company: Crucible Steel – formerly Rem-Cru Titanium. Ulis contacted the company, now known as Crucible Industries, tracked down former employees still alive who worked there in the 1960s and ‘70s, and traveled to Pittsburgh, where Crucible Steel was located. This led Ulis to the man he now believes was probably D.B. Cooper, the late Vince Petersen – yes, the same last name, with the exception of one letter, as his previous favorite suspect. (Oregonian) Does Rem-Cru Titanium account for 'all' of the other rare particles found on the tie, or just one Ti-alloy particle found in the collection of particles present on the tie.? Would the new suspect's son agree to having dna work done, with the FBI's cooperation ? Why did Ulis go public with this prior to nailing down all of the details involved, for all concerned?

The latest Ulis suspect 98% certain - revealed just in time for CooperCon: https://www.oregonlive.com/history/2022/11/new-db-cooper-suspect-revealed-through-lab-analysis-of-skyjackers-tie-just-in-time-for-coopercon.html "Ulis admits he likes to be before the camera". Says he is now going to try and track down "the rest of the cash". See also:

Slow day - playing catch up - talked to a few old friends today hashing over old Cooper news - laughing about it and asking 'what's next' ? More laughing, waiting on CooperCon22. Still waiting on Darren Shaffer's proposed interview of: Dorwin Schreuder ? To a man, everyone likes Dr Edwards work, very much. Kudos to Dr Edwards, from everyone I talked to today ....

Its interesting to note that while WSHM states there were missing or redacted portions of their borrowed ARINC and ATC text, WSHM to my knowledge never stated 'who' made their determination, or the criteria WSHM examiner(s) used to make their determination? It still hangs over their work, like some anonymous child! I mean, this soap opera has gone round and round and around ten thousand times with no progress being made in years! Who advised WSHM in this critical matter? Whomever it was the person or persons remain unnamed and obscure for some reason.

R99 this is absurd. Go back and read the WSHM report again - 50 times! Good luck.

Im not sure R99 wants the facts. Chaucer has corrected R99 over at DBCForum telling 99 not to put words in his mouth. R99 has always insisted that the Seattle to Portland part of the ATC Transcript 'should look like' the later southern part of the Transcript. That the two clusters of comms should be nearly identical. But why? R99 refuses to concede the two parts of the transcript might be different if the 'communications' were different! If I read Edwards correctly, that is precisely what Edwards is saying - Likewise, WSHM never explained or elaborated 'what' lines of communication were 'missing or redacted' and why. WSHM never charged the FBI with redacting the ATC Transcript - only R99 has done that. Edwards is simply saying the socalled missing or redacted lines... never existed in the first place, to be missing or redacted! We've known all along that R99's allegations could be false. Edwards is saying that is the case.

Thanks. Interesting.

Edward's latest - important must read. Addresses a few 'missing or redacted' crucial lines as per WSHM and explains why they might be missing, or never existed! November 13, 2022 D. B. Cooper and Flight 305: the "shrimp boats"

A 30+ year veteran of Aloha Airlines asks: Did the FBI search for Cooper in Hawaii ? Are there any 302s that document Hawaii being searched for Cooper suspects?

R99 says: Further, it appears that teletype transcripts were also routinely made of the voice transmissions over the ARINC system. And according to Chaucer, Carr apparently told him about some of these transcripts that have not been released. 3. With several decades of experience in the military and as an Aeronautical Engineer in the DOD, I can categorically state that the dashed lines in the Seattle ATC transcripts mean that sections of those transcripts have been redacted. This is irrefutable despite any hopes to the contrary. Does Carr have or not have the redacted transcript portions that R99 mentions? When will we know if ever? Do 'dashed lines in the Seattle ATC transcripts mean that sections of those transcripts have been redacted' as per R99 with several decades of experience in the military and as an Aeronautical Engineer in the DOD' ? Is this - irrefutable despite any hopes to the contrary. ? When will we know if ever?

What are the odds? Probably random - larger than you might expect. See Innumeracy (book) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innumeracy_(book) I tried to get John Paulos interested in the Cooper case years ago - John demurred.

My advice: move to where there is a lot of fresh water - maybe stay where you're at ? Avoid earthquake, volcano, flood, dust bowl, tornado, and forest fire prone areas. Take care and Thanks for an interesting decade.

Announcement from Bruce Smith: Big News - I'm Retiring Yup, after CC22 next week I will officially retire as Mayor of Cooperville. I want to live a simpler life and one more closely connected to nature. My reasons for coming to Washington 32 years ago have concluded, so I will be leaving the Evergreen State and going into the big unknown. Some destinations are known in the short term. On November 22 I will be returning to NY to finish closing out my mother's house and selling it. Closing on the house is expected to take place around February 1, 2023, and at that point I will slide into my pick-up and drive to Key West to go for a swim in the warmest ocean water I can find. I'm also thinking of parking in long-term at Miami International and heading to Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands for a week or two. After that, I will head back to Eatonville to finish cleaning-out all my stuff from my rental RV on a buddy's six acres. After that, I don't know - the desert? French Polynesia? Santa Fe? Buy a boat and sail the ocean blue? As a result of these life changes, I will be traveling light - very light. Hence, I cannot and will not take my Cooper stuff with me. I have 14 years worth of notes, interviews, and investigations. Do any of you want it? Also, I will be giving away all the Cooper references materials and books I have accumulated since 2008. You want any? Galen has got dibs on my copy of Himms' NORJAK, GG's Skyjack, and HAHAHA. Other than that, it's all up for grabs and I'll be bringing it down to Vancouver next week. First come, first serve. Lastly, I will always continue to answer questions from those who call, chat on podcasts, and sell my books - DB Cooper and the FBI, 3rd Edition. So, adios my friends. Love you all.

Memory blossoms when it becomes important ? I share your skepticism. Now, if the tie could talk! People may soon be writing Cooper's whole history .... from birth! based on something on the tie? The audience will lap it up. Cooper was a lonely child, was raised by donkeys in a peasant village ... in Little Yucatan, Chicago South side? Let's see - he learned spectroscopy and how to fly 727s at the Chicago Art Institute .from a Polish family ?

Ulis is not a "researcher" of anything. The whole idea is crazy. Maybe he could find a home at Ancient Aliens on the History Channel? He does want to be famous in the public eye, but Im not sure he's even up to that. Maybe he can be a student of Larry Carr? Or a Volunteer Sheriff with a badge in his home county in Arizona?

Who cares! I mean who cares. Revealed through lab analysis of skyjackers tie - just in time for CooperCon ? Or just one more Ulis sales pitch ? Why does anyone follow Ulis ? I think in reality nobody does! He supplies headlines to a starved population with nowhere else to go! It has nothing to do with "research"! Ulis will have his ballots counted by Sept 2025 and let you all know via Press Conference what the results were in 2022. Stay tuned! Ulis will keep this going as long as it feeds his ego.

Ammerman (R2) finally came through. Congrats to Edwards for staying with this!

Missing 14 min gap resolved - with help from Ammerman (R2): ? Edwards: November 7, 2022 D. B. Cooper and Flight 305: the fourteen minutes reconstructed Has nothing to do with missing or redacted flight comms, as per Nicholson.

nice job... maybe the best to date.

good post! thanks...

very thought provoking ...

Im curious - are you familiar with the work of Barb Shipman and her tracking/behavioral models? https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/quantum-honeybees Think she was at the Univ of Texas last I knew (years ago). I think she and her father began their work in Maine ? Where was Cooper's hive ? I ran across her work when I was talking to SETI search people years ago .... What hive or small community beyond the scope of skydivers was 'buzzing' immediately after (or during) the hijacking? Any in the Portland-Vancouver-Seattle area ? Did anyone bother to tap into that resource? Any 302s about this? Was law enforcement outside the FBI and FAA ever supplied with the flight comm tapes or transcripts? Any 302s about that?

Its several (3) posts, not a single post. Read them all. https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2500530.Robert_H_Edwards/blog Nobody so far including Edwards has given any technical details for the vhf equipment in use. We know that vhf is generally line of sight. How far can aircraft VHF transmit? VHF communication systems are the most widely used for maintaining contact between ground and aircraft. This employs "Line Of Sight" transmission, which translates to a range of about thirty miles for an aircraft operating at 1,000 feet above the ground, or about 135 miles with an aircraft operating at 10,000 feet. We also know the issue was not included in the Flight Test and 302s so far do not document it was a special concern. The FAA took no special action or issued an Alert in this matter. The limitations of vhf radio are well known in every venue where vhf is used. None of that has anything to do with missing and redacted transcripts - its physics! R99 always falls back on his claim of missing and redacted transcripts, for all DBC issues that come up. In addition, I cannot find Edwards ever saying what R99 claims he has said, in this matter! Edward's words are there for the whole world to read - read Edward's posts directly, if anyone wants to know what Edwards said! Nobody needs to interpret Edwards - Edwards is always very clear in what he saying and not saying! Edwards does not need any 'middle man' ..... this isnt CHURCH!

Well nothing I say will suffice. Its not worth the trouble. Any DB Cooper westerns being made? With Elvis Presley ?
