I'm using aviation charts? looks like it's a standoff...

..

The  approximate coords for 23 DME on the Western Flight Path = 45.476966, -122.794428

The coords for the money find spot  = 45.718564, -122.759423

The distance between the two is 16.777 SM

If I'm reading those coords correctly, it's too far west to register 23 miles DME to Battle Ground. still checking....

My point stands, in either case DBC jumps and lands very near Tena Bar where the money was found.

The simplest way, as R99 speaks of is from the Malay intersection down to the Canby intersection. this connects onto V23 (center) with hitting the 23 miles DME several miles north in the same path to Canby.

Yes that's correct. This puts the jet just west of Tena Bar either over the Columbia River or Sauvie Island on the way down.

I'm assuming DBC jumped at 8:13. If the jet was 23 DME at 8:18 then DBC jumped 5 minutes earlier. Back tracking 5 minutes along the Western Flight Path from 23 DME is about 16 miles north and puts the jet very near Tena Bar.

Actually, EU, I thought the same thing but in regards to the FBI path. Backtracking 5 minutes along the FBI flight path, would put an 8:13 jump spot very near the Columbia.

Unless Cpr is an expert and drops then opens at about 1000ft feet, he is going to drift no matter the flight path. He will not land in the Columbia or at Tina Bar in any event even with a jump at 8:13. There is no scenario that drops money at the Ingram find location on Tina Bar. This isnt a murder where a body drops in place to be found 8 years later in the same place!

Excellent point that he will DRIFT. In those conditions of course he would have.  But once again I will ask, as I have asked some others, if he pulls the chords on either side, would it not give him at least some ability to alter the course of his landing spot?  They have emphasized he had non steerable chutes.  But couldn't you have a bit of control because it would have to change your direction if you  pulled the chords?  Sir Isaac Newton if you will.  To some degree.  To avoid hitting the water, if he was near the water.  It seems they really do not have a very good idea as to where he landed.   There is a bunch of wilderness that has to be covered.  Just watching the first interview with the late captain, he seemed to want no part of discussing this any more than he had to for the cops?  And they were all over the place depending on which one you talked to.  A true mess as far as evidence for a landing spot.
