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.
Unless you can produce one of the missing twenties, or the parachute, the FBI won't waste a second looking at your man.  The FBI considers the case "open", but won't spend a nickel or a minute more investigating it.

Could you please post a photo of your suspect circa 1971?  It would be interesting to compare it with the FBI composite sketches of the Cooper suspect.

Could the picture of Lepsy be reversed or could he be wearing a British or Canadian shirt?
I've done a little digging and believe "buttons on the right" on a men's shirt is a world wide standard.  I can't find any other countries that deviate from that norm.

I will see about getting a photo of him posted. He is not "my suspect", but a family member. I would also like to add that we would all be nieve to think the FBI along with participants of the highjacking (those left) are not monitoring this and other forums. Including an individual we spoke of in above conversations.

Get evidence including familial dna to the FBI, you should.

May the force be with you!

Whoa. Bold statement, Ross. First, how do you know that the FBI won't spend a nickel, and secondly, can you explain the sizeable expenditures in time and resources that went into the LD Cooper charade?  Agents arriving at Santa Claus' home in Eugene within minutes of his phone call announcing he had hair brushes and such from LD?

Or the fingerprint analysis and DNA testing that they reported performed on LD's stuff?

I totally understand everyone's skepticism... 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.

Okay, Nightie-knight, don't contact the FBI or any other agency. But how about us?  Want to talk to me off the record? If you give me a good story I will go to jail for you on a contempt of court charge if it means protecting your identity. As for the guy you think/know is DB Cooper, why not give us/me enough to corroborate what you are claiming?

Journalists are given a period of time to investigate evidentiary material on their own to verify that it was part of a crime. Sounds like you don't have a $20 - only the briefcase - so I would expect this time frame to be extensive.

AS for harassment by the feds, annoying knocks at the door, G-men following you in the dark, Men in Black asking your ex-girl friends about you, etc... that can be addressed. Tell the family to get an attorney and direct the FBI to make an appointment with the attorney to discuss any and all of their investigatory concerns. They can't barge in without a warrant. If you feel an unwanted presence like MIB cruising the neighborhood, then call me and I'll come down, take pix, confront them, and then write up the intrusive behavior. It's all good copy!

Any advice for these scared-ie cats, 377?

By The Way, Nightie-Knight, what did you do with bullies when you were a kid? It's the same thing.

If you'd like to contact me directly, email is best: brucesmith AT rainierconnect DOT com. Also, my phone number is listed in the CONTACT section of the Mountain News-WA. I'm in the book, too. Eatonville, WA.

Additionally, have you read my book? If not, it's only ten bucks at Amazon. It'll give you a good idea of the kinds of questions I've asked others who claim to know/be DB Cooper, such as Marla, Don, Ron and Pat, Jo W, Ted E, Ted B, Wolfie, Kenny, the kid from Squim, Sail, et al.

Nightie-Knight ? Well, all was peaceful. Your offer sounds somewhat plausible so i will consider it. Hell, anyone willing to go to jail for a whole 24hrs on a contempt charge can not be all bad ;) I would not know about bullies, for some reason they stayed clear of me. ;D

Contempt of court charges for withholding the identity of a source from a federal court can result in indefinite imprisonment - not 24 hours as is customary in local and state courts. The feds have no shield law protecting journalists. Technically, I could sit in jail for years for protecting your identity. I'm willing to do that for a good story.

Just think of all the free food I'd get! And access to a gym!

I also understand that I would continue to receive my royalty payments, since they are based upon the story I write that you tell me, and not the story of the imprisonment itself - a writer can not make money off the crime they commit. But I would be telling the story of what others did in the commission of their crime, i.e. stealing a plane and threatening to kill 42 people. 

And I'd have plenty of time to write, too!

Oh yes i forgot, the days of REAL jail time has went out the window too ! Access to a nice weight room and 3 politically correct meals a day, royalty money in your account.... Why would you want to be on the outside with that waiting for you ? Probably find yourself one hell of a "House Wife" in there too  :P

That was four years ago, Bruce.  Have you heard of any examples of the Bureau actively pursuing leads or running DNA test or fingerprint analysis since then?  If so, please enlighten us.

What do you think of the FBI, or the guys who are now handling the escape from Alcatraz?

 :oThis is what i know about the FBI, and i am speaking more so of the directors and "higher ups" than the grounpounders. They get so focused on one thing they literary shake hands with evidence. I will say what most people are thinking, but to afraid to say because they have been blinded as the FBI was. The highjacking was a success because of the people on that flight ! People, sometimes proof and evidence does not show itself in the form of physical object, but as freakn common sence ! The individuals that participated in the highjacking have NEVER went into hiding. I will tell you the exact moment "they" knew they we safe...when a big bottle of expensive perfume was gifted. Take it or leave it, that is the truth ! Do you people realize she had evidence in her hands the whole time ? Do you think "Cooper" has not been to some of goofy related events that have been held ? People please  :o :o
