To me it's pretty simple.  If Cooper didn't survive the jump then people fitting the eyewitness description that haven't been seen since Thanksgiving Eve 1971 should be looked at.

So, your perspective is that Dick Lepsy survived whatever ordeal he encountered during lunch on October 29, 1969, escaped to parts unknown until November 24, 1971, and then died somewhere south of Sea-Tac airport in Washington State.

Do I have that correct? That's your essential opinion?

Or, are you merely offering some advice to those people who think DB Cooper died in the jump, suggesting that they consider Dick Lepsy and other gentlemen who were never seen after November 24, 1971?

Which begs the question: Do you think DB Cooper died on November 24, 1971?

It also begs another question - why do you think that other people who think DB Cooper died on his jump need to be encouraged to investigate all the guys who were never seen after 11.24.71?

All I can say Bruce is, Stay Tuned!

The Lepsy storyline is no longer sequestered inside Ross' book, or only being covered by small-town fish-wraps and bloggers in northern, lower Michigan. The WZZM story spring-boarded the Lepsy's name all around the world -- literally!

Time will tell what follow-ups present themselves. I can assure you, my editors won't stand in the way if some credible evidence on Lepsy comes to light.

All I can say Bruce is, Stay Tuned!

I'm tuned, Storyteller!

WWDD?

What Would David Do?

Imagine that you are Dave Cooper, Marla's brother. Go back to 2011 and ponder what would you do when you learned that your sister - ol' twisty butt herself - was running around FBI offices trying to convince the world that Uncle LD was a plane thief?

What Would You Have Done If You Were Dave?

Now, we have that opportunity for ourselves. One of our own, Nimi Wrecks, has declared Dick Lepsy the "best suspect" and he's getting national press coverage. I didn't see it comin', did you? I thought ol' Nimi was more interested in talking about the decay rates of submerged twenties in Columbia mud than he was about Little Lisa shouting, "That's Daddy!" But I was wrong.

From these very pages has arisen a new Cooper Hero. A veritable Case Cracker. WWDD???

What would Duane Weber do? (Jo Weber)

What would Christiansen do? (Blevins and Lyle and Gray and Decoded)

Even the living get fucked over by these media parasites and shit peddlers.



 

  Whoa Bruce, calm down, just relax, everything's going to be okay.   You're rattling off question after question so fast, that I don't think you've got a grasp on what's happening here.   You're like a little puppy jumping up and down on my leg looking for me to give you some attention.     As a major Cooper groupie, you have the right to be excited, but let's turn it down a notch and reflect. 

  Brent did a very good job (IMO) of telling the story of a missing man who fits the FBIs description of D.B. Cooper.  Some people even think he looks like the FBI composite sketches.     That's all.  Nothing to get worked up over.  Nothing to work yourself into a lather about.   

   I need to run to a couple meetings right now, but when I get back I'll do my best to help everybody through this.  We have some very worked up people here, but I promise you, everything is going to be alright.   

  Love you guys

Someone get Bruce a paper bag to breath in 

What's with the up roar? I believe Ross has done the right thing. where exactly, or how do we rate suspects?

Christiansen....ruled out in 2007, maybe later...
Weber............Ruled out DNA/Fingerprints late 90's?
Gossett..........Ruled out? not sure
Mayfield..........Ruled out years ago...
McCoy............Ruled out 1972.
Peterson........Ruled out? not sure
Wilson............Ruled out? Eng?

Some of these suspects are decades old, so Lespy is new to the suspect ring. just like the others he has flaws, but should he be burned at the stake? If the national attention doesn't bring in any Cooper leads, it might bring in something new for the family? this is not a dead guy people are pointing fingers at. this has much more behind it. just as Vicki's case does.

And not one Latin guy in the bunch, as per Flo's assessment! 3 bundolas?  Ohhhh so lo mio!  So what are the ethnicities of these guys on the list? Swede. Norwegian. ??  We've got everything and the kitchen sink but no Latin.  Someone come up with a Latin guy, plee uz. 

Peterson........Ruled out? not sure

SA Mary Jean Fryar, who swabbed Petey in 2002, told me that she was informed eventually by her office that Sheridan had been ruled out on the DNA.

Was Desi Arnaz checked out?

Hmmmm, he was 54 in 1971....I can't prove he wasn't Cooper, so he must be....

If you don't believe it was him. you are not looking for the truth
