As I feared, I think we are already on different pages - as to what TC is saying-claiming, or not saying. My understanding of what TC is saying comes directly from his pdf he sent out.
TC's money theory is in two parts. I posted about this earlier and no one said a word? So here it is in Tom's own words from his pdf: quote
Part A: "TJC’s Cold Case Team thinks the cash was planted there, just days before being found, by Dick Briggs – the confirmed 7-year crime partner of the team’s suspected jumper (On page 9). The alleged 1980 planting of the three cash stacks appeared to have done the trick: "
My translation: Dick Briggs the confirmed 7-year crime partner of DB Cooper (who is Rakstraw), planted three bundles of cash for the Ingrams to find, just days before the cash was found in 1980. The motive was to convince the FBI Cooper was dead. This plant was seen as necessary due to the failure of the first attempt to convince people Cooper was dead back in 1971, when Colbert says cash and brief case and other artifacts were dumped on VanCouver Lake just days after the hijacking, but sunk in the thick mud of Vancouver Lake out of sight!
Part B: "TJC believes the thousands of “shards” of Cooper money, dug up by agents and an archeologist (see last two pics), all come from a scheduled dredging of the adjacent Vancouver Lake – the purported site of the failed 1971 Cooper cash-drop drowning stunt. The team’s suspect worked on a river dredge, under an alias, a few months before the hijacking. (pg8)
My Translation: Schreuder's fragments found at Tina Bar all come from a first attempt in 1971 to fool people into believing Cooper had died in the jump. Cash and other artifacts were dumped in VanCouver Lake, but sank. These artifacts including cash were dredged from VanCouver Lake and placed on Tina Bar; TC does not specify when.
*We know dredging at VanCouver Lake occurred 3-4 years AFTER the money and fragments were already found on Tina Bar in 1980! Colbert is simply wrong in his date for the dredging of Vancouver Lake. The dredging at Vancouver Lake occurred not before but AFTER the money find and excavation at Tina Bar _ in 1980!
Guys - either we get our stories straight of what Colbert is saying and not saying, and we are all on the same page, or any discussion of this matter is useless. Shutter if you have new or better facts about what TC is saying than I have please say so and present your understanding so we can all operate the same understanding ? Otherwise I am going to withdraw from this discussion completely and you guys can discuss whatever your understanding is, whether you are correct or not!
