Vicki Raw fish or salmon, Is with out a doubt the best meal in the world. Enjoy! Is there anything I could do to help you with this case. Most the people on drop Zone can and will help you with your research. Jerry

What are you reffering too, What have I missed. Jerry

Sir I haven't read the revised addition. However if you would like to send it to me, I will be glad too.I will Pm you My address.I thank you for a honorable and cival response.You seem to be very sincere.Jerry

I agree with fact from fiction. In this case your a good fiction writer and you know it. I'm just saying there is a lot of holes in your story that you think you have filed in. But in reality have false botom's.Point being is how are you going to react if Vicki's father turns out to be Cooper or at the very least the most probable suspect in years (in which I believe the public will see it that way if I have anything to do with it.)Insn't it going to turn out derogatory to you and what will be your defense? Jerry

Whats going to happen if Vicki's father turns out to be Cooper .You and I already Know I can and will disprove your theory. Jerry

Wana b's and others????????????

Geoger. My first guess would be that most people's thoughts would be Who Care's.However It is possible that some do. Thought you went Nite Nite. Jerry

Wasn't that cooper posting again or am I confused.Jerry

How many computers do you have. Why! are you doing this.You've only been ask to tone it down. Then you made comments unbecoming.Now this. Whats the deal with you didn't you get your candy today or have a nap. Jerry

Paul I agree. My temper does get the best of me.I do apoligize for that.Your advice will be taken.Jerry

Jo stop your attacks Please. Shelly was contacted by someone long before you called me I don't no what is wrong with your memory but you were told this. I also informed you that our conversations were to be kept too your health isue's. Not your trip out here in October, the one you said that you did for memory reason's. But if you are correct about memory of identification on Vicki father's pictures. Then you can't be sure about anything yo say you have seen in october. One more thing to Qoute your coversation yesterday Nothing you have ever seen or found can prove Duane was Cooper. Your exact words. Now my comments are my belief's. Most have been proven. So enjoy your memorys that you say you have. Jerry

And I thought I was the only one thinking this. I believe that is a good call. Jerry

Now Jo you sound mad. If I didn't know better I'd think you might be scared that her father could realy be Cooper and all your time would have been proven wasted once and for all. Jerry

Good looking kid's Geoger No wonder your so prowd. Yea Orange one I'd sure like to see your kid's bet there as good looking or better than there mom. But I will understand if you don't want too.Jerry

Hi 377. Its this new person Vicki. After reading all the past post I found her story the only credibble one thus far. lets face it Her father has been missing since 1971. She has not written any fiction into her story.She is just currious if this could be her father. It will be easy to find out if it was her father with the pictures she has and Dna. Also there are people still alive that can make a positive Id by pictures alone. I for one would like the opurtunity to turn her info over to Ralph and The FBI.If she will allow me to The new agent on the case would be very interested. This I'm sure of. Jerry

Hope quade does Ban you. Your comments were way out of line. Jerry

Hello how are the baby orange's doing.Good to hear from you. Shelly send's you her best Jerry

WOW! it has taken me a long time to catch up with all the post .I'm very intrigued with a couple of theories.Donald I don't believe your Dad was cooper so you can start using your real name.The briefcase is lost to the elements. The splat theory or fir tree inema is the best bet. Remember if you jump with 25lbs tied to your side it will put you in a spin if you are not experienced with this you will not recover.Add a unfamiliar chute that has been modified. This makes the odds of success even worse. Now if you had a cripling desease as Duane had percentage of sucess is lessened . Add alchol and loss of foot gear and conditions of that night it puts survival chances at next to none. So Common sense tells me that the person I would be looking for would have splatered or in a very unconfortable chair. This person would not have been heard from or seen since 1971 . So out of all the candidates on dropzone there is only one that I would give a chance at being cooper. Damn that Cookie jar.Jerry

Sorry to hear that.I'm sure your a Good person.Jerry

Jamie I didn't address all your questions in my last response. My dog just drug a wild turkey up to the door. I had to remove it. Believe me I know about cold weather.I live in the mountains at 5000 ft its already been -50 below with wind chill here just a few days ago. I was a survival Instructor up at FT Greely Alaska at the Northern warfare center (NWTC) and have been out in plenty of -70 and below with out windchill. However the hyjacker was not dressed or prepared for the weather in which he jumped. As I mentioned earlier if you read past post of mine all this is explained after you read those post you will find that it wasn't possible for this man to survive. As for parachutes your father had those have always been easy to get especially from Army Surplus stores they made good picnic tarps and tents also car cover's farmers even used them to cover hay bails during short rain storms but as a kid from the farm I'm sure you knew that. Jerry

Great questions? How can you prove me wrong.You can't. I believe it was Quade that used the cookie Jar example a while back. If I say I bought OREO cookies and put them in a cookie jar 10 years ago and the cookie jar is now gone how can you prove it didn't happen.Besides Ive known Ralph for over 25yrs and this man is one of the most honorable men that I know and ever will know.he would never be a part of any conspiracy or deception to the public.Nor would Larry Carr.However unlike my cookie jar the FBI keeps records and the files on this case has been reviewed by many. One well known reporter for the Seattle Times by the name of Richard Seven reviewed the entire case file in the early 90's when Ralph Hope was the case investigator.This was well before Jo or most of the people on drop zone even had an interest in this case he found the files to be will kept and so have I. He even published an article on it in Jan 96. I believe that he's also related to one of the reporters from chanell 12 news out of Portland. I asure you that the agents involved in this case are credible as well as honest. Jerry

Jamie. The chute found and reported to Larry Carr was not one of the chutes used by Cooper. Larry Ralph and I discussed this in detail. I had Larry contact the man that gave the chutes to the FBI.The man went to Larry's office in Seatle and viewed the chute and made the Identification. He stated it was not any of the 2 missing chutes. Besides there was to much of the chute left for it to have been at its location for that long of a period.Your other question has been answered in a previous post. However the pull chord had to be jerked up real hard then jerked out.with excess travel.Jerry

I'm confused and trying to remember the words to ammazing grace.There has never been a FBI conspiracy.Dan Cooper never survived the Jump even the man that packed the chute states that he can not understand how cooper would have known how to open the chute , (due to the fact it had been modified) unless told how.Mc Coy was not part of any plan and did not no webber.and all this other stuff is just plain weird, strange,or at the very least makes for good fiction novel material.Hi Quade not trying to cause trouble just stating fact. Jerry

377. Smoked and tasty are both steelhead and salmon.And I'm wearing every pound of them.Blevens I and Ralph recieved the same phone call that you did it's a sporting program.I also put them in contact with Brian Ingram.Knoss I don't believe we talked in a while. Jerry

Hi Jo. Thanks for the Email and updates my friend.Happy new year to all. Quaid, Geoger,Blevins ,will just all of you guys.Blevins I seen the vidieo.Ralph told me it was going to air and Brian Ingram Told me what channel and time.Will I'm still alive.

I have not missed a game.And when its over there is always reruns.I'm puting the modifications on my Gold trommel and Making repairs on the rest of my mining equipment. WAs getting 5 to 6 ounces a day before winter set in at the end of October.Anyway just a post to let everyone Know I'm still alive of course those that realy know me new that already.But like Shelly said when in doubt Call.Jerry
