None of the pilots were Black. 

The anchor did not look like a zombie and come off like he knows the encyclopedia by heart (and your motivations too!)    ! That's progress!!

I just liked the concept of it for some reason.....it would make a good intro if things were accurate.

Robert99 contacted me through a PM stating he has spoken with Meyer Louie. they wanted me to post his comment on the forum.

I would like to add a few things before I paste his reply. I have a lot of respect for Meyer, I read a lot of his comments on DZ prior to even speaking with him personally. he has a lot of knowledge, and was always involved with any road trips about Cooper. he joined this forum when it first started, but had some personal issues to take care of which anyone could easily understand. we all have a life outside of good old DB Cooper.

I'm glad you have made a full recovery, and hope you continue to have good health for many years ahead. I hope to meet you one day. I believe you share the same sense of humor I have, making it to be a meeting to remember.

As for the Atlas Media dealings. yes, I've done the Skype thingy twice with them, and will be doing another this Tuesday. it appears they are not leaving any rocks unturned.

I'll be looking forward to seeing your name at the bottom of this forum as an active member soon, but please continue to get better, and we all miss you here.....

Message below is from Meyer Louie....."The Man Of the Month"



Robert99 and all my DB Cooper colleagues:

It's taken me a year to reply.  Sorry for the delay.  I missed y'all a lot.  Been busy trying to make living in a new area and get healthy again.  I live in eastern Washington now, the Okanogan valley, north central washington.  I took a math teaching job with Wenatchee Valley College.  It  didn't work out.  So, I am looking to be gainfully employed again -- back to the drawing board. 

Also, a year and a half ago, I had a stroke in my right eye, what's called a retinal vein occlusion.  Lost about 70% of my eye sight, but with treatment, I have gotten 99% of it back.  Lots of annoying floaters to deal with though, but at least I have most of my right eye sight back.  I still sing and oil paint.

Enough about me -- got some new stuff regarding the case.  This morning, I did a skype interview with Mark Dalbis, casting manager for Atlas Media, Burbank, CA.  Mark is trying to develop a quality program about the Cooper case, lots of people are still interested and intrigued, and he wants to talk to several of us who have some knowledge and expertise in the case.  A quality documentary production is in the offing.  I must admit, I wasn't as sharp as I would have liked, I was rusty on names, dates, and facts -- I've been away too long.  I did my best though -- I told Mark I believe my strength is more in the relationships and friendships I have kindled with all you -- my DB Cooper friends and colleagues.  I have made a serious attempt to get to know and interact with as many of you as I have been able.  It's been good, it's been rich -- the DZ forum, the WA state history museum DB Cooper exhibit, the 2011 symposium, several field trips to Tina Bar and Amboy with Bruce and Robert99, marathon phone conversations with Jo -- and on and on.  Mark appears to be a straight up guy.  He told me he would be willing to talk to Jo, Georger, Shutter, Safecrack, and Brian Ingram -- if you would like.  You may get your 15 minutes of fame.  When he edits down the interviews, there's a better than not chance you will be appearing on the program -- which Mark is hoping the History Channel or Dateline or whoever will pick up the production and broadcast it.  Mark stressed he wanted the production to be correct, quality information. 

Has anyone else done an interview with Mark Dalbis?

So good to be back.  I missed you!

Meyer, it's good to hear from you. I hope things turn better and less stressful for you.

Take care Meyer.

Alright Gentlemen, the facts and you can take them and twist them until it to is "just another story".
Facts:
Touched down Merwin Dam
Picked up in Yale
Dropped off in Washougal
Train to just south of Stevenso, stayed 1 day.
Walked to Carson, stayed a day and a half.
Picked up, crossed into Oregon via route 35.
Destination Eugene Oregon.
Returned to Washougal in August 1973 to retrieve cash.
Returned to Eugene and never left.

There is what happened, now screw it up royal boys!

I dont have the adverse reaction to  Nightjumper71 the rest of you, particularly Shutter and Bruce Smith, seem to have. To be sure some proof or at least some series of logic is required in order to validate theory like the above, however: Why bypass the opportunity to learn something rather than closing the door on Nightjumper71 too quickly?

For one thing, Nightjumper71's theory has Eugene at it's center and that intrigues me because known facts of the DB Cooper case do involve Eugene. Let me mention some of those facts:

1. Mitchell says he was told that photos being shown him by FBI agents were weighted in favor of 'suspects in the Eugene area'. Several reasons may account for this - 

2.  Those of us who have researched this case know that after flight 305 passed out of Portland and Eugene airspace headed for Reno on the evening of 11-24-71, a discussion developed between controllers about an event that had occurred a week before in Eugene airspace with somebody dropping flares at night from a private plane. This ultimately involved law enforcement before it ended with a reports being filed with the FAA and the FBI. When things began to settle down at Portland and Eugene on the evening of 11-24-71, controllers began to discuss if the Eugene incident and the (Cooper) hijacking still in progress could be related.

This alone would be sufficient reason for agents at Eugene to pull photos of people in the Eugene area to show Cooper hijacking witnesses like Mitchell, looking for a relationship between the prior incident at Eugene and the Cooper hijacking.

Hours later of course and into the next day on 11-25-71, 'Janet' and her husband at Portland-Vancouver made their own 'flare or fire' report. Janet claims the FBI showed up at her front door and told her to say nothing further!

3. We have very little information about what agents at Eugene did in the DB Cooper case. Nightjumper71 has some reason for bringing Eugene into his theory. I would like to know why Nightjumper71 thinks 'Eugene' is important in the DB Cooper case.

4. We have been accused by Mr. Blevins of being opportunistic, Cooper Royalty, biased, invoking censorship for no good reason etc etc etc etc etc! I hope there is no truth to his claims. Let's not over-react here in this forum just because of the Venom Magnet, and our bad experiences with Robert M Blevins and Jo Weber!

That's all I have to say.

  

I wish NJ-71 had stayed around long enough to tell us how, where and when he got his story.

I recommend lifting whatever ban has been imposed.

I revoked his posting privileges due to his behavior. he can still see the site. If Georger also agree's, which I believe he will. I'll allow him to post again.

Thats fine with me - I kind of hated to see him chased off if he didnt want to leave.

I have thought all along that Blevins footprint is large - he did a lot of damage to people. The idea we are Royalty and biased and censor people for no reason is total bunk.

I would have given several warnings about personal attack and if it continued then maybe act... but N71 has some reason for his theory.

Lets discuss the case and its factual evidence if we can and try and get beyond all of this personal ka ka started by Blevins and Weber. Discussing the case is why we are here.

The FACT is: there is a strong factual Eugene connection in the DB Cooper case. I want to hear more about it. And I just HATE discussion about the case being washed away due to stronger "social media" concerns.
