A limnologist I spoke with today says, TK has misidentified photo 3B in his paper. The diatom in question is Tabellaria, not asterionella or fragilaria. Tabellaria blooms from Spring to summer.

is the species unique to the Columbia?

no, none of the TK species are unique to the Columbia. Tabellaria and Asterionella are commonly associated, the expert said, especially in the Columbia area. Tabellaria is a hardy diatom found clear up in northern Canada. We spent almost an hour discussing options for dating diatoms .... nothing really new emerged but the problem is on the table to be continued ...  this researcher told me a number of people saw Tom's paper when it was published and earmarked it, passed it around. I didnt have to give him a url - he already had Tom's paper on his computer from a fellow limnologist at the Univ of Washington! So Tom's paper got noticed .... which is nice. It was a good conversation today ...  a foundation for future discussion.

Update on Larry Carr

Larry emailed me this week and said he would be willing to have an interview with me in September, presumably once he is retired from the FBI.
If anyone has burning questions you'd like me to ask Larry, let me know!

Also, he confirmed that he had received a copy of my book, so hopefully he will take a look at it.

Does Larry Carr have a copy of Dr. Robert Edwards' book?  If not, I have two copies of the book and will "donate" one to him if Bruce will take responsibility for getting it to him.

Larry Carr defintely needs to read the Edwards book.

Does Larry Carr have a copy of Dr. Robert Edwards' book?

A while back, I asked Schiffer to send a complimentary copy of "D. B. Cooper and Flight 305" to Agent Carr at his address in Snoqualmie, WA. I will check whether they did so, and if so, whether he received it.

[Chaucer]

I'd want to ask Carr three questions:

1. What is your biggest personal regret regarding this case? What do you wish you had done differently in retrospect?

2. What is the biggest misconception about this case - even among the so-called "experts"? What's one thing everyone assumes but is totally wrong about?

3. What is your Unified Cooper Theory? How do you fit all the moving parts of the Cooper case into a reasonable theory including where and when he jumped and how the money arrived at Tena Bar?

[PhotonHerder]

I’d ask him open ended questions:

1) “Tell me about the money find on Tina Bar”
Just let him talk as long as he wants, and then follow up with more specific questions.

2) “Tell me about the flight path”

3) Did anyone ever follow up with the AirForce to learn more about how the map was made?  Is there a chance that the map shows the chase planes and not 305?

What does/did he think of Tom Kaye's work?

[JAG]

If I am not mistaken, there was an ethnicity component to the DNA test conducted, what were the findings ? (Europoean/Caucasion, American Indian, Mexican/Latin American ? ? ? )

How confident is or was the FBI in the DNA evidence, derived from the tie and/or the tie clip, they used it to exclude suspects ?

Does the FBI still have the hair sample ?  (Part 67 seems to imply that it was lost between Las Vegas and Seattle)

Is the FBI holding anything back whatsoever regarding what COOP said or did on the plane that the vortex does not know ?

Does the FBI believe that any of the letters are legit ?

What does the FBI think about Fly Jack's parachute analysis ?  The serial numbers ? Did EC mislead or screw things up ?  Did Cooper take one packing card from one back chute and stick it in the other ?

Inquiring minds want to know....

I love your questions, Chaucer, especially the Unified Cooper Theory.

Please keep us posted on this development, Doc.

Has Clifford Dowson's name been brought up?

No what’s his story?

Let’s remove this mysticism around carr just because he was employed by the fbi doesn’t make him any better off then any of us here. Remeber he came to us at the end of the day. The fbi wouldn’t even let him work it on the clock but his move of engaging the true crime com on the dz forum was truly revolutionary.  At the same time I believe when he did that he turned it over to investigators and stopped being one himself. He had access to all the fbi files which he’s made assumptions with out reading them which is clear when talks about NORJAK.

Hopefully more to be gleaned from this new cooper dub…
