Why would DB Cooper contact some obscure 'author socalled' named Gunther ? When he could have contacted the famous one-arm logger "Axeman" instead ? Or the tele-evangalist Billy Grahm ? I am sure famous important people are contracting obscure nobodies every day - to get their stories out! Thats what makes America great! From obscurity to fame and fortune with just one phone call. FOX will do the rest and cut you in .... People will be talking about it for 100 years!

Poster is just tossing words and ideas around. He doesnt even know what he's saying, or care. Ignore him.

Thanks - will do.

Why Max? Was there something that hung on Max that attracted Cooper's attention. Why Max vs Chamon Smith of Milwaukee? Maybe Max was just some guy trying to get published first ? When did Gunther die? Did he have any other claim to fame? I have a hard time taking any of this seriously . . .

Hysterical nonsense! The Moon is not made out of green cheese!

According to the Dawson article, Command ordered Dawson to stand down on his chute idea, so McChord pulled out as a supplier of chutes.

So was McChord ever contacted to supply chutes? Do any 302s cite McChord as being the source for chutes?

He also needs the time and place and privacy to build the bomb - and assemble it. Where did he get the parts? Presumably he arrived and walked into the airport with it through some entry point. ? Apparently no modifications to the case noticed. Two wires inside the case to be touched together by hand so no switch? But said his bomb was 'electronic' which may have been bullshit. To address Ckret's point: he didn;t bring his own parachute because he knew they would be available from McChord.

Very likely the catalog got revised or absorbed into a new format\procedure .... last time I checked the FBI has not eliminated 'eyeballs' and 'heads' in the human population!

NEW - Facial Identification Catalog. mage KK5-1 chosen by Schaffner as a match for Cooper. See: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2500530.Robert_H_Edwards/blog

any watermark on the paper? they probably didnt check. too bad they gave him his note back - what could he have done if they had said "no" or "we cant find it!" ?

Thanks! Part 75 001-224 c1972-1976 .......... DBC # not consecutive out of order ...32400 ... 32500 .. Some interesting material involving a threat and Globe Indemnity ?

Fat/lost weight ... or is sick? Interesting...

Glad I found you ok.... also talked to four former classmates in FL tonight - we just had a Reunion here in Iowa ten days ago! So far everyone ok. Your tornado warnings in your area made it on the Weather channel tonight just after we talked! ................ Thanks! Take care OM ....

There is absolutely nothing any of us can do about suspects proposed .... seems to me all of this needs to be presented to the FBI with "actionable" data attached: dna, fingerprints, $20 Cooper bills, parachute, etc. There are so many suspects by now the system is clogged by them all. Every presenter is "sure" his or her suspect is the real DB Cooper. You could spend ten lifetimes processing them all and still wind up at a dead end!

Looking at these vids its apparent the fragments are being pulled from the area Crystal Ingram identified vs the area Harold identified - ie. 20ft from the shoreline, not 40ft. For scale, the grid lines are 20ft wide.

That chin is a giveaway! It amazes me how far people are willing to go to stretch somebody into the Cooper category. It started with Barb Dayton a woman (Smith etal). What is next? A chimpanzee ? The 'theorists' are not keeping up with the recent data! Whatever Cooper's precise LZ was, Cooper and the money were NOT in the Columbia for at least one year after the hijacking. That is now an established fact based on the rubber bands history. The money and the bands were in a warm/hot dry environment for at least one year after Nov 24, 1971. That is an undeniable NEW fact. The Columbia river does not fit those conditions.

I gather the same author of a 'Columbia LZ' is trying to 'merge' the Zodiak and Cooper cases ? Why? I fail to see what these cases have in common ?

simple: submit his dna and his prints. Something actionable otherwise this is just one more phantom.

Then this isnt what I thought it was .... what's the date of the video ? All it says is " Old news media archive footage story" . ????

He has the video. The person handling the bills may be Brian Ingram but Im not 100% sure. Those are new folders - not the old FBI folders.

Good that this expands your list - congrats! anybody recognize the voices.. ? yes. Have talked to one of the voices last year. He is a motivated numismatist with a goal. I sent him a copy of the Court settlement and other info last year ... and we talked several times. Everything still pending but I wish him luck and he has promised to share anything new with the Cooper community. He could become a resource in the future. Im glad you published this video!

Any details on this ? who what where ?

Thats a great revelation by Gray! Must be true.

11/24/71 Hancock Interview: Alice Hancock a stewardess aboard Northwest Airlines Flight #305 provided the following information: On November 24, 1971, Hancock stated that the individual who hijacked Northwest Airlines Flight #305, a Boeing 727, boarded the aircraft at Portland OR, and at the time he boarded he was carrying a briefcase which measured about 12 by 18 inches, and was dark brown or black in color. She stated that the hijacker handed another stewardess (Florence Schaffner) a ransom note demanding $200,000 dollars in cash. Hancock believes that the note was handed to Schaffner very shortly before takeoff from Portland. Hancock advised that the hijacker’s demands were communicated to the Captain of the aircraft via the aircraft’s intercom by another stewardess named Mucklow. Hancock stated that the note the hijacker handed to Schaffner stated the hijacker had a bomb, in a briefcase he was carrying, and that he wanted $200,000 dollars and absolutely no trickery or interference or he would explode the bomb he said he was carrying. Hancock also advised the hijacker requested four parachutes. After the hijacker stated these demands, the stewardess named Schaffner went to the cockpit of the aircraft (with the note the hijacker had written and another list of his demands she had written as the hijacker dictated his demands to her), to advise the Captain of the plane of the situation. (In the meantime another stewardess named Mucklow took a seat beside the hijacker). Stewardess Schaffner remained in the cockpit until just before landing in Seattle. Meanwhile the hijacker remained in his seat and had another stewardess named Mucklow sit by him. Hancock stated the hijacker assigned the stewardess named Mucklow to get off the plane in Seattle to get the money he demanded, and then after that she was to go off the airplane again and get four parachutes that he demanded. In addition to the parachutes and the money the hijacker also requested four crew meals. Hancock says that ‘Flo’ had told her that he hijacker wanted to go to Mexico and was very concerned throughout the flight about Sky Marshals being on board the aircraft. Hancock stated that the subject made his demands known in this order: 1) He wanted the money brought on board first. 2) He wanted (passengers) off the aircraft after the money was on board. 3) He wanted parachutes and four crew meals. 4) He wanted the plane completely refueled. 5) He wanted maps. She could not remember what kind of maps the subject requested. During the flight, Hancock advises the hijacker wanted continual re-assurance that nothing was going to go wrong. She stated that the hijacker was good natured during the flight. After the plane landed (at Seattle) and the passengers were off-loaded, Mucklow was on the telephone updating the hijacker’s demands to the Captain of the aircraft. The hijacker then informed Mucklow to tell the other stewardesses and crew to remain on board. At this point Hancock states that the pilots of the aircraft wanted the stewardesses off the plane. (They tried to arrange this with the hijacker through Mucklow). Once the stewardesses were off the aircraft, Hancock states that the pilots had planned to get off the aircraft by jumping out through (a door in) the cockpit. (The hijacker however would not let Mucklow come forward). None of this happened because the hijacker could see them and they feared that he would set off the bomb that he had in his briefcase. Then Schaffner went to the back of the plane and asked the hijacker directly.
