If Reca were going to come up with a credible Cooper story why on Earth did he pick such an unlikely landing area? I'm sure another "Cowboy" with foggy memories of a lost stranger could be found at some diner closer to the flight path.
Skydivers did want to be Cooper suspects. It was a badge of honor to have been interviewed by the FBI, and many were after the FBI pulled all the USPA membership data from their office, then located in Monterey CA. IMO, lots of skydivers lied about being interviewed. I was disappointed to have been passed over.
