Sir Matthew: Why am I being mentioned? I am not here. Even though my name keeps being brought up or dropped by persona, here! PLEASE, stay on reality. Gone again. G.

+5. What will he show the world next?

You're kidding, right? I wasn't talking about MY technique, but what law enforcement does. You ever see what detectives do when they bring in someone they consider a good suspect in a major crime and put them in the Interview Room? Get real. I'm not wasting any more time with you tonight. It's nearly 11:30PM here in Seattle and I have an early day tomorrow. Very dramatic! Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Forever, and Ever Hallelujah, Hallelujah, For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Forever, and Ever Lord God potent reigneth. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Forever, and Ever Hallelujah,Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Forever, And ever And ever And ever Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Halle lu yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Well, Margie was the type of woman you would love to have as a friend, because she was the most loyal person I ever met. It wasn't really until the last interview done during the time Decoded was filming that she really gave up the goods, so to speak. And by that time I had modified the book about as much as I was going to do. Hell...that's why I direct people to the KC report and tell them the book is only a general guide on KC. There ARE errors in it. And I'll admit I was under a certain amount of pressure to get it out quickly. So it definitely isn't perfect, although the basic allegations are reasonably solid. Why Margie really got into a corner was because she spent six interviews telling me how her husband was involved, his disappearance that week, etc but also being dodgy on the exact details. Like...where was the money for example? She would claim she didn't know about that because he kept secrets and she never saw it. I didn't believe a word of that. She was also afraid of the FBI, no matter how much I tried to assure her she wasn't going to get into trouble. Finally, on the last interview, she admits it was Kenny...and not any of those other people she tried naming...who was with her husband that week. This was after I confronted her with the testimony from Helen Jones and Jones' daughter. What I believe actually happened was this, simple version: Bernie Geestman was the instigator and talked Kenny into it. Neither of these men told anyone what they had planned. Mrs. Geestman was the only one who found out for sure, and was forced to keep the secret, and eventually shared in the proceeds indirectly. Neither she or her ex ever thought anyone would figure it out. This is my theory based on the fact that I spent over a year interviewing all these people, checking their statements, etc. This ain't easy. This is why I say that the ONLY way to prove any case against these guys forty plus years later is to bring them all together and confront them. It's the only way. Jones, her daughter, Dawn Androsko, and Mrs Geestman in one room. Bernie Geestman in the other. They run the video from Decoded where Bernie says he thinks Kenny could be Cooper. Then they confront him with the testimony from the three woman who say he went missing for the entire week of the crime with Kenny. See what happens. Unless this happens, the truth on Kenny will never be known. In my mind, this is reality. This is the only way to either prove the case or eliminate Kenny once and for all. Who knows? Geestman might even admit guilt, but he's not going to do that for any reporter, or any civilian investigator. Only the FBI could get to the bottom of the whole thing. I've done all I can. In August, I will try to present everything I have as accurately as possible and that will be the end of my investigation into Kenny Christiansen. And just before the August thing, I will probably go over each and every line in the book, both Kindle and paper versions, and make a once-and-for-all final edition. But since this will be the final one, I have to make sure this time it is as accurate as possible. And that will be my last word on it. I'm going to include the KC report in this version, as well. Side Note: I've taken six screenshots of certain comments from a certain website...emailed them to Skipp Porteous for his comments. I am also working on an investigative article regarding a certain Cooper investigator, which will include those screenshots and Skipp's comments, along with a few other items regarding his work on the Cooper case. I will release this article at Newsvine not this upcoming weekend, but next. If youve said it once, youve said it ten thousand times regarding your socalled case - it always comes down to CONFRONTATION. Confront this person, confront that, confront the next, etc etc etc. What theory of investigation always requires CONFRONTATION, according to you? You might want to take a class in investigative techniques, from your local community college ?

It's not a story. It was just an auction sale. If the only thing you were concerned about regarding that post was the amount I said 377 paid for a Cooper bill...then you missed the point completely. However, I'm not going to address that post any further. I said what I had to say. I think I provided sufficient proof of my point and we can leave it at that. Cooper Stuff: Tina (co-writer) reports that she has many of the storyboards drawn up for the KC script. .................................................. This is no big deal. .............. No Jane, I think you missed the point. To me, it looks like Mark noticed the dollar amount for the Cooper bill and tried to correct your inaccurate statement by asking 377. This amount could have easily been researched (in your words) before you exaggerated the "facts" and put it in print. All this does is perpetuate another falsehood. Maybe it is time to change the signature on your posts. Here....I found a quote you can use! You also go on to say "Cooper Stuff", but it seems it is more of a advertisement for a screenplay about the life of KC. In post #52262, MarkBennett queries: Could you answer his question without all the added DRAMA? No! Without all the socalled DRAMA he's just another voice in the noise. He is also the master of REVERSAL. Anything you say he will turn around and say applies to YOU! He thinks it's SMART & DECEPTION! Its a tempest in a jug ... with no cork. Blah, blah, blah. 90% or better of your posts here are about ME, not the Cooper case. Move on please, Georger. Your opinion means exactly zip to me on pretty much anything. To answer someone who had an actual question, Bennett I think... Page 101 of Blast: Decoded didn't interview Margie Geestman. They did provide her with a free cell phone, which I delivered to her. She spoke with History Channel's Marisa Kagan a few times. You would have to ask Kagan about that. Was she ever recorded on video or sound by me accusing her ex and Kenny of being involved in the hijacking? Answer, yes. Two videos, one is in the hands of Go Go Luckey productions. One I have. One sound-only recording I have, from the final interview. I believe the total number of times I interviewed Margie Geestman was SEVEN times. And these interviews sometimes went on for two days apiece. If I put everything she said into the book, it would have gone on longer than War and Peace. Most of her testimony is in notebooks in my office. Am I going to release anything from those items at Dropzone? (videos, digital sound recordings, notes) Not a chance in frickin' hell. Those go out to legit media or law enforcement only, on request. Any trust I once had with Cooperland disappeared a long time ago. Not your fault, but that's the way it is. On certain items, I no longer CARE whether Cooperland believes this or that, but only whether the info can be verified by sources NOT related to the civilian-based investigation on Cooper. In other words, legit media and law enforcement. Even though I consider Galen Cook a liar of major proportions, I also took a lesson from him: Don't give up the goods except to people who matter. You know, I think everyone in Cooperland has pretty much written off Christiansen as a possible suspect. I've been trying not to discuss him, except for the announcement about the screenplay, but technically that's not really discussing the case on him. So...if you've decided that KC is a write-off (no problem) then maybe you should stop asking questions about him...

CNN reports: The Australian RAF and Australian Prime Minister announced an hour ago that it believes it has located "wreckage" of an aircraft... based on hi-res satellite images which was followed by a search and the recovery of two pieces of wreckage now being examined. More aircraft have been dispatched to the area of recovery ... US involved... News conference live - CNN live. PS: ... now saying they do not have the two "objects" in hand! Only sighted two objects... nature of the items sighted has NOT been confirmed .... press conference over... stay tuned to CNN for developments.

I'm not the one with the problem. So, your name is NOT RobertMBlevins? But I get it. You are worth all the trouble you don't cause!

Dr. Blevins, Since you presume to make medical judgments about Georger and myself, I'll let you in on a little secret. In fact, I may have mentioned this before. In order to participate in some interesting things over the years, I and others have been required to undergo something above and beyond the normal physical and psychological evaluations. I always passed and was signed off for the matter at hand. So I actually proved that I was sane enough and didn't have any "personal issues" that would interfere with my involvement in the matter. Can you prove that you are sane and don't have any "personal issues"? Or is blaming everyone else for your problems a "personal issue" in your case? The only problem I have right now is meeting goal on the kiddie book raising effort. When I said personal issues, I meant that practically every post you and Georger make is about me. Not the state of your mental health. I think that's simple enough. I don't care about your history. I'm addressing the Here and Now. Move on to Cooper, or head for the Dead Zone. And it was your phony crap about ACARS et cetera that made me and R99 and others post here. You claim expertise in the matter of the missing plane. But you diverted all of that to make something personal about it charging R99 and me of being a conspiracy - against you?! And now here you are again questioning our sanity, and giving us orders again! Telling us to go to the "Dead Zone" whatever that is. Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Blevins@! Wonderful. Blevins Uber Alles. The ruler of Drop Zone.

And you actually claim to collect books for poor kids being concerned with their Education? Something wrong there! Good night Ivene.

I haven't read the article, I was referring to what you said in your post. In reality, probably about 99 percent of the information in circulation is speculation. The idea seems to be to speculate all you have to get your name out there. Correct? And I can practically guarantee you that the hard information is vastly greater than a single page. It's just a case of the people who really know keeping their mouths shut so as not to comprise the investigation. Oh, pulllleeeze....why don't you come down off that pedestal for a minute and face reality? Do you know how many hundreds of writers from scores of media organizations have released articles on Flight 370? Or how many MILLIONS of posts have been made about the flight on social media? I think the total is approaching 10,000 in just over a week for the articles alone. It's the biggest story going except maybe the crisis in Crimea. I have the greatest respect for you, but it's unrealistic for you to expect silence on such a story. Here's the article you haven't read. And it isn't all speculation. Some research went into the creation of it. Pedestal? (the platform the feet position themselves on)? From your socalled artikle few will ever see short of your self-advertising ... " Someone decided the plane was not going to Beijing, but somewhere else. It probably didn't make it there. The final answers will be discovered when they locate the aircraft, no matter how long it takes. Update: Suddenly, Iran is willing to cooperate in the search. Really? *Robert Blevins is the author of Into The Blast - The True Story of D.B. Cooper, a book on the available evidence against Kenny Peter Christiansen, a suspect in the unsolved DB Cooper hijacking case. He is from the Seattle area." PEDESTAL?

Why would he turn part of the data system off before (20mins before!) the transponder? Is there some sequence involved, or priority involved ... ? Is he risking detection before his last message? Why would he fly back toward land ? Isn't he risking an encounter and being followed?

OMG. You made a joke. And it's actually funny. Geez. (AP) -- There are three pieces of evidence that aviation safety experts say make it clear the missing Malaysia Airlines jet was taken over by someone who was knowledgeable about how the plane worked. One clue is that the plane's transponder — a signal system that identifies the plane to radar — was shut off about an hour into the flight. Another clue is that part of the Boeing 777's Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) was shut off. The third indication is that after the transponder was turned off and civilian radar lost track of the plane, Malaysian military radar was able to continue to track the plane as it turned west. Goglia said he is very skeptical of reports the plane was flying erratically while it was being tracked by military radar, including steep ascents to very high altitudes and then sudden, rapid descents. Without a transponder signal, the ability to track planes isn't reliable at very high altitudes or with sudden shifts in altitude, he said. You know all those cell phones still ringing from relatives??? Lack of oxygen is a very effective way of shutting a whole lot of people up very quickly. It fits the available evidence of no contact.. not one. You've dwelled on this now multiple times - I think the point has been made and already was self-evident!

Many question this because the ascent and descent rates are beyond 377 flight parameteres and the plane could have began to come apart. Merely holding altitude at 45k in a 777 could be very difficult, if not impossible with the fuel this plane was carrying. The rapid descent (in simulation) results in a violent spin which pilots report is impossible to recover from in a 777 .. again, plane begins to come apart and crashes. I am so glad you edited at least a couple of the 377's to 777's I agree that a 377 at 45000 is certainly above where it could fly. Performance Maximum speed: 375 mph (603 km/h) Cruise speed: 301 mph (483 km/h) Range: 4,200 mi (3,650 nmi, 6,760 km) Service ceiling: 32,000 ft (9,800 m) Max cruise: 340 mph (547 km/h) On the other hand the Boeing 777 was reported from a radar contact to have climbed to 45000. That is a little above the safe service ceiling but I don't think safety was a primary concern in this hijacking. I would also say the stress on the airframe was reduced by reducing the cabin pressure to match the outside air pressure. Service ceiling 43,100 ft (13,140 m) Time of useful consciousness at that altitude is pretty short as I have personally experienced in the Alti chamber. FL 430 9 to 15 sec at 13,106 m or 43,000 feet FL 500 and above 6 to 9 sec at 15,240 m 50,000 feet I am betting there was no one there holding an O2 mask to their face saying "put your oxygen mask on, you are going to die, put your oxygen mask on, you are going to die" as you struggle to put on your mask... and finally manage to realize you were out like a light and someone was indeed already holding the damn thing on your face. Now if you want to reduce the possibility of any passengers doing anything.. just let the air pressure drop slowly while most were sleeping an hour after takeoff. They were supposedly flying at 35K FL 350 30 sec to 60 sec of useful consciousness 10,668 m 35,000 They need to get into the pilot's flight simulator to find out what simulations he was running ... om his 377.

Wonder if they were Lithium ion or phosphate batts? Big difference in self ignition dangers. A raging lithium fire could account for loss of comms (frantic load shedding thinking it might be an electrical fire). Perhaps even an intentional depressurization and a climb to cut down on oxygen which is supportng combustion...But wouldn't they first give a Mayday call? Imagine you fire the cargo hold fire bottles and it just keeps raging. What do you do? Cockpit smoke could obscure readability of instrument panel and controls. Read about the Value Jet crash. Note: "The CDR indicated a progressive failure of the DC-9's electrical and flight control systems due to the spreading fire. " From Wikipedia. ***On the afternoon of May 11, 1996, Flight 592 pushed back from gate G2 in Miami after a delay of 1 hour and 4 minutes due to mechanical problems.[1] There were 105 passengers, mainly from Florida and Georgia, on board, as well as a crew of two pilots and three flight attendants, bringing the total number of people on board to 110. At 2:04 pm, 10 minutes before the disaster, the DC-9 took off from runway 9L and began a normal climb. At 2:10 pm, Captain Candalyn Kubeck and First Officer Richard Hazen heard a loud bang in their headphones and noticed the plane was losing electrical power. Seconds later, flight attendant Mandy Summers entered the cockpit and advised the flight crew of a fire in the passenger cabin. Passengers' shouts of "fire, fire, fire" were recorded on the plane's cockpit voice recorder when the cockpit door was opened. Though the ValuJet flight attendant manual stated that the cockpit door should not be opened when smoke or other harmful gases might be present in the cabin, the intercom was disabled and there was no other way to inform the pilots of what was happening. The CDR indicated a progressive failure of the DC-9's electrical and flight control systems due to the spreading fire. Kubeck and Hazen immediately asked air traffic control for a return to Miami due to smoke in the cockpit and cabin, and were given instructions for a return to the airport. One minute later, Hazen requested the nearest available airport. Kubeck began to turn the plane left in preparation for the return to Miami. Flight 592 disappeared from radar at 2:13:42 pm. It rolled onto its side and crashed to the ground nose-first in the Francis S. Taylor Wildlife Management Area in the Everglades, a few miles west of Miami, at a speed in excess of 507 miles per hour (816 km/h). Control of the plane was completely lost less than 10 seconds prior to impact and examination of debris suggested that the fire burned through the floorboards in the cockpit, resulting in structural failure and damage to cables underneath the instrument panels. However, it was also just as likely that the crew had become incapacitated by smoke and fumes. As power had been lost to the cockpit voice recorder nearly a minute prior to impact, it was impossible to determine with certainty.[1] Kubeck, Hazen, the three flight attendants, and all 105 passengers aboard were killed. Recovery of the aircraft and victims was made extremely difficult by the location of the crash. The nearest road of any kind was more than a quarter mile (400 m) away from the crash scene, and the location of the crash itself was a deep-water swamp with a floor made out of solid limestone. The DC-9 was utterly destroyed on impact, with no large pieces of the fuselage remaining. Sawgrass, alligators, and risk of bacterial infection from cuts plagued searchers involved in the recovery effort. A group of fishermen witnessed the crash and reported that "The plane was flying in a steep right bank, after which it turned so that the nose was facing downward in a nearly vertical angle. It plummeted into the swamp followed by an explosion, shock wave, and a massive geyser of water." They reported seeing no external damage to the DC-9 or any sign of fire or smoke other than the engine exhaust. A group of sightseers in a small private plane also witnessed the crash and provided a nearly identical account, stating that Flight 592 seemed to "disappear" after impacting the swamp and they could see nothing but scattered small debris and part of an engine near the crash site. 377 I know WE will avoid all flights out of Malaysia! Memos went out last week to take the train instead.

You're famous! CNN, Boeing, NTSB, and the State Dept may be calling! Good night Ivene -

Source for the statement that the sat comm transceiver can't be turned off without disabling vital aircraft functions? Aircraft power buss design usually tries to avoid "ganging" flight essential gear with other stuff. Don't know how circuits are divided on the 777. 377 TMF Associates blog. In any event these do not appear to be actions that could be taken from the cockpit! We are talking about pulling breakers and/or deactivating systems in the bus bay (access panel directly behind the cockpit door) or in other areas of the plane not immediately available in quick time, by anyone ??? This flight apparently had a large shipment of lithium batteries on board. The possibility of a lithium battery fire in the cargo bay is being down played by officials for some reason. But, it's being brought up by just about every pilot who has spoken so far ... of the interviews Ive heard all week long. One other aspect of this incident that I wonder about is the aircraft turning back toward land. That could have been an effort to get the plane back to an airport fast. Apparently Mayla military picked up the plane on radar as it crossed back across Malaysia but didn't report it or communicate with civilian controllers to inquire what was going on? That maneuver almost qualifies as a distress maneuver for a civilian aircraft running heavy, from a preassigned flight. The military didn't notify anyone or scramble jets to go take a look at it! (Imagine that happening over American air space!) Why would a hijackers take the risk of turning back at the country it has just left, flying over the same territory risking a military response etc ??? Doesn't add up to me. Im hoping NASA or somebody has IR images of this plane somewhere, but who knows ...

There seems as usual to be a lot of back story bloviation going on without any real understanding of the facts involved, or any attempt to get those facts? Key point 1: The transponders have nothing to do with the satellite communications system. Key point 2: ACARS is an “app” (communications protocol) which can operate over different (satellite, VHF, and UHF) communi- cations links involving different devices-equipment. Key point 3: ACARS reporting can be disconnected, in a sense, but does not affect the underlying satellite communications link so long as the devices involved HAVE NOT been disconnected which is virtually impossible to do short of removing vital aircraft functions also, in the 777. Key point 4: The “satellite pings” are due to the Inmarsat network checking that the ACARS terminal on board the aircraft is still connected to the Inmarsat satellite system and the "terminal" responds in the affirmative. Key point 5: The “satellite pings” indicate the plane is in a cell, but do not intrinsically give specific position and altitude or other information, unless that level of subscription applies to the service but any response involves the ACARS system - which indicates vital functions of the aircraft were working for several hours. Key point 6: The 777 ACARS “satellite pings” were exchanged with the Inmarsat 3F1 satellite at 64E longitude through the global beam. However, it is unlikely that the measurements are more accurate than within say 100 miles. Key point 7: The position of the aircraft is being estimated based on the signal timing/power measured at the satellite. Its not based on the data content of any message and is not highly accurate. Key point 8: Of considerable interest is the large lithium battery shipment in the cargo hold of this plane. Lithium battery fires have been an issue in the past and might explain facts that are emerging. For example: The data reporting system was affected first at about 1.07 am while the transponder was not affected until 1.21 am just after the the pilot signed off to Malaysian air traffic controllers. This could indicate a chain of events unfolding which the pilots were not aware of until the transponder and flight comms ceased suddenly. However that is even at question because apparently backup systems were not utilized that we know if. Its a open question we think." TMF Associates.

There will be plenty of traces if it crashed at sea. They just need to look in the right place. There are also acoustic pingers attached to the flight data and cockpit voice recorders. Most have a battery life of roughly 30 days. You have to have hydrophones to hear them and range is only a few miles at best. http://www.rjeint.com/pdf/DK-100revB.pdf http://www.rjeint.com/beacons.htm 377 One of the BIG questions that I have not seen asked is this: If the plane flew on for hours...why didn't a single person ever try using one of the on-board satellite phones? In Boeing 777's that Malaysia Airlines uses, there is sat phone access in Business Class (it's on their website) and it's probably the same thing in First Class. I don't know if this is restricted to a single phone on a wall in each section, or if it is an in-seat feature for these passengers. Even if the plane was constantly out of cell range, you would think someone would have at least tried to make a sat phone call or IM/email through the onboard wifi. I have also wondered whether this sat-phone system could be disabled from the cockpit. It's just a mystery how a plane could fly along for hours and with today's travelers...hell, half of them are on the laptop checking their email or on their smart phones. Yet...not a single peep, a single email, call, NOTHING. For hours? These planes are connected to the internet. It's just weird. And I think they are doing the right thing by starting to look at the pilot and co-pilot. It's possible that hijackers could have disabled all these systems if they had the proper flight training, but if this flight was diverted it seems like it was done by the pilots themselves. Transponder switched off just minutes after the plane's last communication. Then the ACARS system turned off. No emails, IM's, anything from the economy class passengers that anything was wrong. No sat phone calls from business or First Class, as if all internet or access via the sat phones was disabled, and quickly. Imagine a takeover done by outside hijackers. In this case, you are trying to gain control of nearly 300 people. There will be screaming, panic, some people will start making calls, doing emails, whatever. Instead, stealthy silence from the plane and absolutely NO outside coms. This sounds more like the pilots disabling all outside communications, sat phones and internet access, and then perhaps telling the passengers 'sorry the system has gone down'. Like your cable company does. THEN they divert the flight west. Otherwise, chances are almost certain that someone would have gotten out a message or two before the hijackers can collect phones and gain total control. Remember Flight 93? The coms back then were not as good as now, but people got out calls and messages anyway. I think it's possible this plane was STOLEN, no kidding. Not hijacked exactly, but PIRATED. And done in a rather sneaky and planned fashion. And right now it could be sitting in a hangar in SE Iran, via going over the ocean around the south side of India and then NW to Iran. Either that or something went wrong and it crashed into the Indian Ocean. Slight Edit: A caveat. According to the Malaysian Airlines website, this is the satellite-based com capability offered to First Class and Business passengers. (There is no mention of Economy class having direct internet access) BS! Blevins, why don't you call in your ACARS technical info to Rockwell at Cedar Rapids - here's the number: 319-295-1000. Be sure to give them your full name and contact info -

Agree - thanks.

I dot know anything about this - nada. Never heard of it before except in your posts.

For factual content Himmelsbach's book and Gray's book would head the list. These should be supplemented by the flight comm Transcripts, readings at Sluggo's website, selected posts from Dropsone circa 2008-09 when Ckret and Snowmman were here, followed by the Wiki article and a few factual summaries of the case that were posted on a few aviation websites c. 2006-2008. That would give you a good general knowledge base. That may be more reading than you want to do - There is new material and solid discussion occurring on Shutter's new site. Im not advertising that but it's just a fact. Tom is back and others are due to join in - the new discussions show promise. Perhaps some day the FBI and the Smithsonian could work together to historically document the Cooper case. Gray's book? You've picked on Geoffrey Gray more times than I can remember. You said what he wrote about you was inaccurate. You've questioned several key points he made in the book. You've even quoted him as saying I was 'mentally unstable,' and 'untrustworthy'. (That last one Gray denied to me in an email, by the way) So that makes either you or he a liar, in my opinion. You two can work that one out on your own. This is probably the best list of books currently available on the Cooper case, according to Shelfari. All can be found at Amazon. I have to add Ha Ha Ha by DB Cooper. It may not be true, but it's certainly entertaining. Get a copy through Dona Elliot, owner of the Ariel Tavern. You are incessant. ... with the same trash talk over and over and over .............................................. Ive covered all of this countless times. You keep bringing it up. READ THE THREAD ... Nothing else I or anyone else can say. Unless of course you writers, Gray and you, want to settle your issues, and leave the rest of the world out of YOUR PETTY PERSONAL PROBLEMS for a change.
