I totally understand everyone's skepticism and in reality i have nor had realistic hopes of anyone believing me. That would be foolhardy of me to anticipate that. I am not writing a book, simply beyond my skill set and not enough time left. The suitcase is my only keepsake. A pair of gloves that was in the case was destroyed and their condition was grim at that time anyway. I understand the "false profits" in the Cooper world are looking or was looking for that 15 minutes of fame and obviously got it because we are talking about them. I have nothing to gain nor has that thought ever entered my mind. As i said when i first joined this forum, i have not and will not contact the FBI or another agency concerning the highjacking because no matter what the FBI said about the case being closed, we would be crazy to ever believe that ! This means if real people, place's or item's were to surface they would have to do their jobs and start investigating again. For that reason, to protect family members from unnecessary harassment we will only go so far.
