I applaud you for your obviously genuine attempt here to uncover the truth, your rules are more than reasonable and I will do my best to stay within them. thank you!

this Duane character saying he could never go back? there are many reasons a person might say that, for example why would one want to move backwards in life rather than make progress? it is my opinion and that of most criminal psychologists that the the majority of criminals return to the scene of their crimes frequently. while employed at a local restaurant some years ago. it was robbed in the night. when I arrived I found broken glass and such. most thought we would never catch our crook, but just as I predicted, the perps were some of the first customers that day. all we had to do was watch for who wasn't a regular and who was looking around suspiciously. I live in a small town so it became obvious. sure enough they confessed after paying with marked bills. the reason they return is to make sure first of all they pulled it off, and to admire their handiwork. my father revisited the area frequently, but then again he was on the move the rest of his life after as well. always looking over his shoulder, never really settling in anywhere. not even at the farm he owned. for the most part that ended up being rented out.

would you know of a way to email or somehow contact this "Flo"? certainly not asking for a phone number or anything too personal but maybe an email address or website she may have for this purpose? essentially it seems to me that the best thing to do would be for the FBI to compare the DNA I've provided proof of, and if I can talk my neighbor into letting me rummage thru his attic for the briefcase my mother stashed there, assuming it wasn't relocated or destroyed at some point. I asked the previous owner if I could check it out, He wouldn't let me but told me he had searched the location quite well. it may be under insulation or behind a wall or floorboard, as it was hidden by the man who built the home at my mothers request. I'm going to look into shutting off private messages, I posted it because I feel it's an attempt to discredit me in some way. it smells of a set up especially when one takes into account the claims that we have been in contact in the past and that I'm somehow plagiarizing others. given the parameters of how one should go about proving these claims. I doubt this will ever be solved. perhaps my father was more clever than I gave him credit for. lol the banning thing is absolutely fine by me. so far I've seen very little redeeming qualities on this forum in regards to this case, with the exception of the few obvious realistically objective persons. in general it seems this case is dominated by goldbrickers unconcerned with reality. but thats the nature of the internet huh? it's like chat roulette, online we're all just a bunch of dicks... ;) on this issue of privacy, the only reason one would require privacy here is to perpetuate a delusion. being secretive fulfills a delusion that the person has information that is valuable to others when in reality most us don't even want to hear it. it's like pretending to have something great in the palm of your hand that you won't share but sit and look at it publicly constantly. obviously complete rubbish in other words.

private message I received from skyjack71: I would like to talk to you but I do NOT give out my number to strangers as that makes me a target. I need to know when you were born - the exact date. Don't even ask me why because this is just a hunch. Only one person will be able to tell me if I am correct and she lives in CA. She has been looking for her nephew for yrs. He sister gave birth a child in 1970 who was GIVEN to friends of Duane's and his wife. Duane and his wife of the day were involved in some kinky stuff. A 15 yr old child became pregnant and the child was GIVEN away to some friends. These friends they knew from N.C. and AZ. my response: my name is Donald Jason Cooper but I have always gone by Jamie since early childhood for the reasons I've given in previous posts. my birthday is June 17th in 1970 I don't like the idea of private messages unless it is really essential like to keep private info private. so please keep the discussion here where the rest can read unless you have something you really must keep private.

in America we are all innocent until proven guilty. so please prove my claims false. I say we throw out all the hearsay and circumstantial "evidence" and go right to the DNA. I've submitted my DNA info here. compare it to the FBI sample. end of debate. I know for a fact that even "contaminated" samples can produce sequences that show linage. it's been done with ancient Egyptian mummies but, can't be done with DNA only a few decades old? not likely. as I've said in the past, and I'm saying again, I find it suspicious how there are multiple stories concerning the identification of DB Cooper from the region i live in. it would seem there must be a common origin. did my father blab when drunk? I know I myself have shared parts of the story on many occasions beginning from age 5. is it possible others have tried to capitalize on that? also another poster saying there have been multiple claims from persons with my name even? my full name is Donald Jason Cooper but I always went by Jamie because my mother and everyone else, even including my father, called me that. later she explained it was in case there was ever a connection made to my fathers crime. she always had suspected him of it but didn't have proof until 1982 when helping him sort thru financial records. while I am a fan of the History channel, i've seen some very unreliable claims about many subjects there as well. ie the "Ancient aliens" series for one. I applaud you for plugging your show that you obviously have a vested interest in but, see no reason to assume it factual for simple existing. specifically your attempt to discredit me b4 I had even posted here makes your claims suspect in my book. just as anyone who goes on the attack without being provoked should be considered immediately suspect. there is no reason to point fingers and make accusations against others. unless bringing the truth to the light is not the primary goal. lets stick to sharing information and photos if available, and perhaps even comparing the DNA? seems like the best plan. lastly I don't appreciate the suggestion that I am some sort of shady person crawling out of the woodwork. my main website is www.jamiecooper.net but I have many websites and a fan base of over 11,000 people worldwide. I am well known, and have even been a political candidate. you will notice that I haven't tried to capitalize on "DB Cooper" on any of my websites concerning my music, or during my political campaigns, or in my artwork. it has been suggested that I should on many occasions but I chose not to. why? because its a very personal thing to me, and as expected I'm being attacked and almost demonized here for opening my mouth. those of you casting stones need to produce more than circumstantial evidence and supposed statements from witnesses. I heard the flight attendant who received the note is still alive. heard from her yet?

I just received a curious email from this forum from a poster calling himself "snowman" http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=message_view;message=1787897 "Why do you post at DZ.com? I don't read messages, so don't respond. " I am posting here because I was invited to check out the thread concerning DB Cooper, I am not involved with skydiving, although I certainly have respect for it. thanks, Jamie Cooper

the question of his age is of key importance in my claim. because my father was not the age generally assumed by the majority. He was younger, I'm not sure by how much but I'm guessing around 10 years or so? however, like you suggested, he was an avid outdoors-man, he was able to spot animals in the dark like noone I've ever seen. some would say he looked more like a native American than the white boy he was. I have other photos to illustrate this more. in addition to being outdoors more than the average person as a hunter, a road construction worker, a crop duster pilot, and custom combine worker, he looked older than he was from years of hardcore alcohol abuse and chain smoking. the ears match when one takes into consideration the angle his head is tilted at. unfortunately I never was able to, or even thought to have him pose for a comparison photo. lol he was very camera shy to say the least and I wasn't aware of these sketches during his lifetime

I have offered DNA evidence but have never received a reply I'm attaching a scan of DNA genetic markers that were used to clear my name in a previous paternity case. if anyone has access to the FBI sample, feel free to compare. being a visual artist myself, with a fairly well received and raved about collection of my portrait artwork, popular among many high profile celebrities, I know my father looks a hell of a lot like the FBI sketches. it's not realistically debatable. all the key facial features are present. you and a certain Bob are the only people in the entire world, so far at least, who don't think my father resembles the FBI sketches. both of whom, it can be reasonably argued could have conflicting interests and motivations to discredit my claims. I'm not here to point fingers or accuse. I'm here to share information and bring the truth to light. if you are going to discredit my photos then please do so, describe what doesn't match. the 3rd photo shows the tie that may be the one the FBI now has (pure speculation on my part), but that is not the significance of this photo, the significance is the jawline which resembles the FBI sketches better than the latter pics. this is because he had his teeth removed after the heist, and got dentures. which altered his jawline, also he took to having facial hair. I have a question of my own, how was the age of DB Cooper established?

attending this "celebration in Ariel" I'm not sure of the bar, all I know is it was out west and they have a party in honor of DB Cooper. He didn't verify it was the bar he went to after the jump, my only knowlege of him attending came from my mother. He did tell me he went to a bar after the jump, where he bought drinks and hooked up a ride home. this may be the location. it's common for criminals to return to the scene of a crime. especially in my fathers case I could see this as he had a chip on his shoulder about being clever. personally I don't feel he was very clever, a convincing con artist, kind of a evil streak at times, but not all that clever. I'm sure he went back and admired his handiwork often, and probably sat and drank and laughed, about things everyone else was oblivious to the whole time. I remember a time where he described to my mother with a full smiling calm kind voice how he planned to take a payloader and tear through the wall of my mothers bedroom and kill her in her sleep if she didn't comply with something he wanted. he then tried to deny saying what I had just heard with my own ears. this was at the dinner table in my mothers and my home. this is the sort of person my father was.

while your financial motivations are obvious after having published a book on this subject recently, I am surprised to see you take this approach to my offer to share information with you and befriend you. I don't know where you took that quote from, perhaps it was from a response to one of these hostile posters on facebook? I see no reason to confuse the subject with such smear tactics. now I ask you to take a look at the photos I've shared with a open mind and read the accounts I've shared on this forum. they don't differ from the posts on facebook other than they are unpolluted by personal attacks from obviously motivated posters to skew the facts.

not entirely sure how to post properly here yet, right now I"m replying to another post b/c I can't find the button to post. I'm willing to attempt to answer any questions I am able to regarding the DB Cooper case. my information is not 100% complete either as I am his son, not a first hand witness to the actual crime. the things I personally witnessed were in my childhood, during stressful situations. this is why this subject causes me headaches at times. I ask that any request stay polite and non-accusing, there is no need for hostility if our goal is to simply share information and uncover the truth. while I certainly wouldn't turn down money, I have no plans of a book or anything financially profitable from sharing what I know. so please keep that in mind. hostile or attacking posts will be ignored! I am going to attempt to attach a couple photos of my father compared to FBI sketches.
