I have this nightmare that, a few years from now, IBM's Watson will solve this case and I'll have to find something else to obsess about constantly.

Even Watson would need some real data to calculate options with. Im willing to bet Watson wouldn't be be much further along than humans are - humans programed Watson.  Hopefully the FBI could be better than Watson! ?

Georger is right.  Watson needs real data and so do we.

If nothing else, Watson could dig through those 100,000 particles faster than we can.

There was another Dan Cooper series "Test Pilot".. German?

looking to see if this was published in French as well.

Jumping out of the aft "door".. I ordered a copy to see what is inside..

To date, nobody has asked: "where would a Latin person have seen the Dan Cooper comic". The whole focus due to Tom Kaye has been on a Canadian suspect.

The FBI files files show the FBI took "Latin in appearance" seriously and directed their investigation in that direction. This is stated over and over in FBI files. Not one mention in FBI files about a 'Canadian' orientation or investigation!
   
"Latin in appearance"

Where was the Cooper comic distributed in Latin America, if at all?

Interesting update, that German "Dan Cooper" comic I posted was printed as part of a German language only series from 1981-83.

I discovered that the story for the German series with the jumpers via the aft/tail door of a passenger jet first appeared in 1970 in a Tintin magazine. BEFORE the hijacking.

I think I have identified and found a copy of that Tintin (Belgian/French) magazine from 1970 and have ordered it. It will be interesting to see if the 1970 original version has any reference or images of parachuting from the aft/tail of the passenger jet or if that was added after the hijacking in the updated German re-release.

I think Snow already found that Dan Cooper was published in Tintin in 1970 BEFORE the hijacking ? See Dropzone. 

parachuting from the aft/tail of the passenger jet may be new ?
 

The original version of the passenger jet story appeared in Tintin 1970-71, then an updated version as a Dan Cooper book in 1975, then redone in German for the 1981-83 series..

The 1975 version used a 747 and depicted Seattle and the space needle... I have all three versions on order so I'll see how they compare..


If you look very carefully you can see the downtown Seattle Penny's where the hijacker bought the tie..

Georger   You say:  "To date, nobody has asked: "where would a Latin person have seen the Dan Cooper comic". The whole focus due to Tom Kaye has been on a Canadian suspect."

I say:  "Sheridan had a very olive skin color (possibly from Greek family background) and he would have seen Dan Cooper comics in Vietnam where he was involved with sports jumping and knew many who would have shared the Dan Cooper comics. He took French in College as he was an English major (they had to study another language too). Tom is just off again thinking a Canadian connection just like he missed the Boeing connection from finding both types of Titanium on the tie but jumping to the conclusion that Boeing would have used just alloyed Titanium.
Now that the FBI has closed the case, they will never look at the DNA evidence under the stamps and envelope flaps of the four letters to the newspapers from DB Cooper. Why did they overlook this evidence that they had? Or did they and they don't want to disclose who DB Cooper really is? A cover-up and why the case was closed when they had just found out the FLAW/lie to the FBI on where he was at the time of Norjak?

Was the Vancouver Sun letter ever tested for DNA??  Where is it now?

I realize it may be a hoax, but it looks like it is written by someone trying to disguise their writing and contextually it is odd that one would write a hoax letter claiming the suspect sketch "does not represent the truth".

On November 30th a letter is sent from Vancouver, BC. This is the 6th day after the hijacking. 

The name D.B. Cooper was a misnomer by the media/press. When the entire population thinks D.B. Cooper hijacked the plane, why wouldn't "Dan Cooper" bring this truthful factoid to the forefront along with the comment about the sketch not representing the truth if the person writing the letter was indeed, the hijacker?

This is strictly my opinion, but a letter signed by Dan Cooper, the name actually used by the hijacker, would hold more credence than a letter signed by the misnomer.
