What year did this Jo Weber post this information?

I distinctly remember Hager discussing the robbery. I believe it was around 2006. Hag died in March of 2007 so obviously it was before that. Hag and I were discussing the locations of railroad tracks located in the area when he mentioned the robbery. He said that somewhere down the line I might hear about it. He said the store was broken into fairly often. Evidently, from what he told me that window was compromised in previous robberies. As I  said, he blamed this robbery (and other robberies )on the " hobos" that were riding the rails.
 Since he lived fairly close to that area
I just figured he read about the robbery from the local newspapers or maybe from one of the locals living in the area.

Weber made thousands (or more!) of phone calls in addition to tips she received from people at DZ. The only way Jo could have known about the store robbery was if somebody told her or if she got the tip from some post at DZ. Jo would have been quick to call anyone and everyone associated with that news. Jo was always quick to weave news into her narrative for Duane.

Although I believe Hag followed the dropzone discussions, I don't think he ever posted anything there. I  can't remember him ever mentioning Jo Weber.

Jo cultivated sources in Washington State who helped her and fed her information for years. It was a mutual benefit association born of Jo and Duane's lifestyle. Jo was 'working' the airport when Duane met her. Jo was a professional networker... likewise Duane. These people live by their wits.  It's no big deal that someone told her about the Heisson store robbery...  Jo could tell you what size shoes you wear if she had a reason to collect that information ...

That's the Jo Weber I know. Very succinct, G.

Jo did come up to WA for a short stay of a few days, at least once. In 2010, I spent a long day with her, driving around from Vancouver to SR 500, Lake Camas, and environs.

She almost died twice. First, as I have described here several times, Jo almost got us killed driving three blocks to breakfast. She was the worst driver I have ever seen.

Later, at dinner at the Red Lion Inn, I thought the waiter was going to strangle her because she was the customer-from-hell, arguing about her Crone's Disease dietary restraints. Ug.

Did she live in the state of Washington? If so, what part of the state?

No - she lived/ still lives, in Florida. Her whole Cooper adventure was hatched in Florida.

Wouldn't that be after Duane Weber died?

When Duane was alive and working in insurance Jo and Duane moved to Virginia Beach after McCoy was killed there. Duane died and Jo migrated to Florida ? - unsure of date. Shutter or Smith will know ...  wasnt Jo living in FL the whole time she was on DZ peddling her stories.

FYI, I can't find any public reference to the Heisson store burglary before Jo's trip in 2010. If anyone finds a public reference to it before that, it would be of great interest.

There isn’t any Marty, first public reference are Jo’s posts on the DZ in 2014 where she talks about her stop at the HS during her 2010 trip and learning about the break in from the owners which I have debunked, then it came up again last year when an fbi 302 came out talking about a break in at a store the night of the hijacking. That’s all that is on record anywhere. The break in was not public knowledge nor local knowledge, the only people that knew of the break in that night were David Horsch the owner who lived at the store and LE. It looks to me from talking with David’s family is he never put two and two together and associated the break in that night with DB Cooper which makes sense as he was frequently broken into so that was business as usual.  Dave wasn’t going around telling people hey somebody broke into my store that night maybe it was that DB Cooper guy. I don’t think LE thought anything of it either and they didn’t publicize it.  So again this wasn’t a known thing that was going around so I don’t even know what contact Jo would have that had this information first hand like I said it’s possible if she or somebody she knew had access to the fbi files they could of figured out that the HS was broken into that night.

From what I recall is Jo was in several area's of the Florida panhandle. Pace, Navarre and Santa Rosa. she was also in Fultondale Alabama. she tried to link my father to Duane and anyone close to an area she believed Duane was around. her time frames were always off. she made claims for a couple years that the FBI refused to give her records about his prison time in Jefferson under the name of John Collins. I was able to get the info for $4.95 including his arrest record and prison photo sent in a CD format. I never did tell her how easy it was.

Only his younger photo's resembled Cooper IMO. she didn't show many of him from the 70's. the one's she did show didn't fit the description. his vision was horrible shown in the 70's on with the "coke bottle" type glasses (thick) even claiming he was basically blind without them. I think her obsession caused her to hide the research from her husband after Duane. it was her whole life 24/7.

I liked Jo but could only take so much. sadly, I ended up blocking her from my email. she was sending 5 plus a day. calling me all the time. most of her emails included the Seattle and Portland FBI.
