If he stayed in the lav he was a sitting duck for an FBI rush into the plane. Doesn't sound like a good strategy to me. Like putting your head in the sand. Had Tina been able to run to the cockpit and let the crew know DBC was in the lav they could have radioed the info and the FBI could have stormed the plane. I think there was some other reason for the long delay in the lav.

..."I think the FBI was smart enough to figure out that DB Cooper had been wearing Brown cosmetic contact as his only disguise to hide his blue eyes and it explains why he kept his eyes covered by the sun glasses except when showing off his "brown cosmetic lens covered eyes" to the Flight Attendants. He had spent a lot of time planning his caper and the Brown contacts where a major part of his disguise..."

Let's remember that only one flight attendant said that Cooper had brown eyes. And she was the most uptight, too.

Just sayin'...

So, I'm not tossing Petey out just because of eye color.

Tina recounted that Cooper penst a LONG time in the lav. I've always wondered if he was removing contacts and dropped one. They can be REALLY hard to find. Just a guess.

Long time in the lav?  Remember it was 1971 ----- cloth diapers and diaper pins ----- perhaps the thumb-sucking bed-wetting terrorist lowlife had difficulty changing himself in such a confined space without his buck-toothed mommy there to help.  That is probably why the witnesses described him as a geek with a pouty lower lip ---- he had a pant load.  Might help explain the ‘grudge’ also.

Those dark sunglasses wouldn’t have made the task any easier for him to accomplish.

So much for ‘Folk Hero’ status.  Pobrecito!!

I was under the impression he spent time in the bathroom to stay out of sight of possible snipers.

That's what I remember reading years ago...


Ok, who voted for Duane Weber 

Has Jo Weber learned to hack computers?  Wasn't she suppose to have a computer literate boyfriend?

He might be a little computer savvy, but this forum (SMF) is a very secure forum. you would have to be a member to try and gain access to the functions of this forum. hacking is not going to cut it. the server even knows who, and when someone tries to access the C-panel, which is the heart of the forum.

If Jo sent someone here, that's fine. I just thought it was funny..

                 Speaking of the sunglasses he put on..........            There was some earlier discussion of D.B. possibly wearing makeup or wearing thrift store clothing to disguise himself. If he was in disguise why would he need to wear the sunglasses? Just wondering.....    any thoughts?

There was a time when Cooper had no sun glasses on - hadnt put them on yet ?

Suspects are always a dangerous topic. some get personally involved and fail to see the truth. it causes conflicts, or ripples. this is why I don't have a favorite, or believe Cooper has been found. I don't know if that will ever happen. I haven't received anything lately from Colbert. people seem to get so frustrated when you don't agree with them.

Jo, Robert, and Colbert firmly believe they have Cooper, but all 3 can't be right. then you have Marla also claiming the same, but the majority of people outside that loop disagree with the conclusions they offer. I'm sure if we had access to the files you would see a pattern similar to the known suspects. they just never pushed as hard.

I think Colbert did a good job in certain area's, but some things can't be dismissed, or overlooked. then you have Jo, she has been at this for decades, Robert is approaching a decade himself. that's telling right there IMHO. it has zip to do with agenda's, or hate. it has a lot to do with conclusions, and evidence that doesn't support anything.

we can only speculate on Cooper's grudge, or the reason he was in Portland. if it was a different airline, or location would we have the same suspects? why would Kenny pick his own airline? was NWO the only airline striking? lots of people don't like there job. Duane couldn't steal a purse without getting caught, so how would he come close to pulling this off? to many things point them away from being Cooper, but it's extremely hard to show them the flaws, so you get punished for this?

we have a suspect thread, and other threads dedicated to suspects, but some still get upset about conclusions. you just can't make everyone agree with you. it's very frustrating sometimes.

Our dedication to digging into the evidence is one pathway that DB Cooper will be identified. To wit:

1. Where did the titanium come from?
2. Re-construction of fingerprints to develop adequate prints.
3. More sophisticated analysis of the DNA, including all that came off the head rest.

I think the Norjak study, such as conducted by this Forum, will focus more on evidence and less on suspects - the endless and unproductive analysis of who looks like whom, and who acted funky on Thanksgiving in 1971. Say goodbye to the Rackstraw's, Weber's, Gossett's, LD's, etc. Say hello to phenotypes.

Also, we have the imagination and psychological chops to think outside of the box. Look at Robert99 and his alternative flight path.

Soon, too, I think we will develop a framework for why the crew have such inconsistent memories. That'll require digging more deeply in the protocols of 1971 at the NSA, etc. How did the upper echelon of government view Norjak? What was the best outcome from their point of view? Were their agendas satisfied?

We will know more about these subjects in the days to come.

Our forensic tools will continue to develop, too. We might find lightning in a bottle just around the corner.

Plus, maybe one day Tina will call me and say, "Buddy, you've got it right."

One piece of advise: don't waste your time on "missing persons." I doubt that DBC is missing in the conventional sense of that word. I doubt that checking the FBI's database for DNA and fingerprints will reveal anything useful. I would think that information was scrubbed a long time ago. But it will help us.

Also, we need to keep the pressure on the FBI. One day they might crack.

Meyer Louie and others at the 2011 Symposium directly refute Clyde's theory that the winds were coming from the east through the Gorge and blowing Cooper westward. They say winds from the west, blowing Coop eastward.

Unfortunately, Clyde is a true believer in Wolfie Gossett, despite the fact that Clyde told me that Wolf was the 'biggest bullshit artist I have ever met."
