This man's life needs to be back-engineered and aggressively vetted.

I agree. That story will make a great read.

I know there's a ton of circumstantial evidence against Ken Christiansen/Bernie Geestman...

There is?

Like what? The guy was a WW II paratrooper? That's circumstantial evidence he was DB Cooper? I disagree.

Nothing has ever been VERIFIED with that STORY...It's all based on ONE person speaking for everyone. people need to come forward in order to tell this story. until then, it's just another MYTH.

"Christiansen supporters" have seen it by now

Probably all 3 have seen it by now

Sometimes a description, or look can throw you for a loop....this guy is unbelievable....

Yo, Ross,

On the WZZM broadcast I hear that you are calling Dick Lepsy " the best suspect" so far in the investigation.

Okay, how come?

Brown eyes. Check.
Black hair. Check
White, male. Check.
No discernible accent. Check.
Six-foot Check.
180 (-ish) Check.
Wore thin black ties. Check.

What else?

Hopefully Ross Richardson can continue to leverage his resources and continue to work the Lepsy angle. The WZZM Lepsy story I did went viral, and was picked up by media outlets all over the world. Both the Detroit Free Press and USA TODAY both posted it on their websites. I'm sure the "Christiansen supporters" have seen it by now. Ross Richardson broke the Lepsy angle a while ago, but now it's been given the proper platform to get it to mainstream. We'll see if it gains momentum, or fades away.

Why don't we just admit Donald Trump was DB Cooper ? .......... and get this social media travesty over with? But we can;t do that. The show must go on ................... and on and on and on!

Who are the Men in Black???

Fiery Object "Janet" met 'em. Now Lisa Lepsy's encountered them. But who are they?

1. DEA agents checking out a drug guy.
2. ICE-y guys before Customs and Immigration became ICE.
3. FBI guys.
4. Detectives from the State Patrol looking kinda undercover?
5. Off-World types, ala cattle mutilation phenomena

Bruce A. Smith · « **Reply #186 on:** November 29, 2015, 05:08:17 PM »

Ross, can you walk us through November 24, 1971 in the Lepsy household? Lisa and her sisters are watching Walter Cronkite and when the DB Cooper sketch comes up they start shouting, "That's Daddy!.

Then what?

Mom calls the cops and inquires about her husband and DB Cooper? Mom curls back into a ball? Kids tell a friend or neighbor?

Grayling cops make a call? Eat another donut? Don't make any connection between Lepsy and Cooper?

My TV station (WZZM) is very pleased with the web traction the Cooper/Lepsy story has received. I wholeheartedly admit that more needs to be done to vet this theory. Hopefully that will come in time. Ross lives near Grayling, has a close friendship with Lisa Lepsy and is well-researched.

We can't leave it all on Ross, though.
Let's try to hold off judgement and ridicule and see if more dots can be connected.

The Lepsy theory isn't new, but this was the first time it's gone public.

Ross will work very hard to back-engineer this theory, now that the world knows he's the one who broke the theory.

What I like about Ross is the fact that he doesn't do anything more than tell the story. some of the other suspects (Christiansen) are jammed down the throat, screaming he's Cooper. I like Ross's style and admiration to the family still looking for answers.

This story has a lot more to it than just Cooper. so many unanswered questions to what could of happened to him. I'm honored Ross decided to get involved with this forum. I have my doubts about this, but the message needs to be put out in case someone knows something.

Similar to Vicki's story, closure is needed. If I can do anything to help in this venture. my forum is open to them.

Finding out where Lepsy was during the two years between his disappearance and the hijacking would solve the mystery with near certainty.

Bruce A. Smith · « **Reply #191 on:** November 29, 2015, 08:15:05 PM »

Pretty much, Andrade, but if the Men in Black couldn't do it, what chance do we have that WZZM and our Under-water Whiz Kid will? They already have their story - and it's a whopper! Carried nationwide, too! Finding where Dick Lepsy actually went is a lot of work for not very much gain, probably.

Can I get an "Amen" on that, Storyteller!

But, if I were going to look for Lepsy, I'd start with drug connections - start with local dealers, State Drug Enforcement projects, etc. Of course, it's all old, but you never know. Look for other scenarios where the MIB showed up. Presumably they were DEA guys or similar, sniffing on a cold lead.

Then I'd head south, make connections, buy a lot of people a lot of Tequila, etc....and try not to get kidnapped or shot. Maybe I could make a bogus WZZM Press Pass and wave that around at the border, as it would certainly trump my Mountain News-WA credentials. See what happens...

...it'd make a good story. Video at 11. Of course.

I'm not intentionally ridiculing anyone here, Brent, but you did START this, you know. I'm just going with the flow.

Bruce A. Smith · « **Reply #192 on:** November 29, 2015, 08:33:01 PM »

Better story, Brent: Forget Cooper. Forget Lepsy. Focus on Lisa and Vicki. Follow their story. Show the world how tough it is to find a missing father, and how "ZERO" the USG can really be when it comes to helping real people with real needs.

Find some Michigan politician to back the effort. Might get some traction AND do some good. For my money, this is the way to get real closure for real families. It sure ain't gonna come through the Gates of Norjak.

I recommend talking with Vicki. The last time I spoke with her on this subject, I understand she and her family were assigned a case manager from some federal agency that assists families who utilize the NAMUS data bank. However, that case manager was getting totally stonewalled by the FBI and other agencies in terms of sharing information. In fact, they weren't returning phone calls, emails, etc. It sounds exactly like me and the FBI over Cooper! SO I FEEL THEIR PAIN!!!

So, let's start naming names, digging into the little office cubicles....let's find Dick Lepsy's trail, or at least the spot where folks stopped looking (which is probably downtown Grayling), or at least where they stopped helping Lisa, which is down in Tampa, I believe.

Storyteller · « **Reply #193 on:** November 29, 2015, 09:32:34 PM »

All excellent ideas, Bruce! I'm awaiting Ross to post so he can respond to all these comments that have been written here today. All I did was tell HIS story. I'm sure if Ross uncovers any new leads/info on Lepsy, he will contact me and we'll do a follow-up story. Apparently, the Grayling PD no longer has the file on Lepsy (at least that's what they told Ross). When Lepsy's car was found in the Traverse City airport parking lot, it wasn't impounded as evidence. One of Dick Lepsy's friends was allowed to drive it home!! Had the Grayling PD impounded it and dusted it for prints, maybe the Lepsy family would have their answer.

It would not surprise me if starting tomorrow (Monday), other Michigan media outlets start chasing the Cooper/Lepsy story. TV stations in Traverse City & Cadillac, and perhaps Alpena may travel to Grayling.

Hell, maybe CNN, NBC & ABC will be there.

I will say this, Ross' book, "Still Missing" is a worthy read. I was honored he contacted me to tell the TV version of his book.

I'm pretty good at finding hard to find things. Finding the trail of a person who hasn't been seen or heard from since 1969 has proven challenging. Most everything that has been discovered about Lepsy has been made public. A few personal things have and will be kept private. We’ve talked to everybody who knew him, but we needed to reach out to people who know what happened to him. Brent’s WZZM story will do that. The Crawford County Avalanche ran a story in tandem with Brent’s story (Link below). If something’s going to get someone to talk, these stories will.

That being said, I believe Lepsy is the best Cooper suspect out there right now. As for back engineering his story, we may never be able to do that. But proving Lepsy’s knowledge of 727s and skydiving is irrelevant since we don’t know Cooper’s knowledge of these things. We can guess and state our opinions, but we really don’t know.
