Hey Bruce: Does this look like what Sheridan's GRUDGE might be:       "It didn’t begin with Donald Trump. It began a long time ago with the Vietnam War and the massacre of 3.5 million Vietnamese. There was Watergate and the impeachment of Richard Nixon; Ronald Reagan selling missiles to Iran and using the cash to arm the Contras; George W. Bush and Dick Cheney’s invasion of Iraq and thus the enrichment of Halliburton; the tea party and Sarah Palin; and finally the stonewalling of the appointment of a moderate U.S. Supreme Court justice."

Now if we could get him to tell us about his REVENGE and how he did the Norjak Caper. Also how did he get Curtis Eng to close the case when I told Curtis Eng in February of this year the FLAW in Sheridan's phony alibi which proved he lied to the Seattle FBI about where he was at Norjak time (delivering one of his two children in Nepal when neither were born in the same year as Norjak per public records from persopo.com) That lie to the FBI is a Federal Crime with jail time which could be bargained for the real DB Cooper story.. Did Eng fold because Sheridan was working for the CIA in Vietnam?

Ah, read a little closer, Meyer, the above is not my commentary, but that of the "perfect" DB Cooper suspect, Sheridan Peterson.

If you don't like his politics, so be it. But you should know whose thoughts are expressed here.

If you don't want to know the fuller dimensions of this particular DB Cooper suspect, then I suggest you simply skip reading them. Reposting them and lambasting me in the process is not very scholarly, imho.

Dont pretend or claim for one second you aren't "political"! You are and you always have been. About all sorts of issues going back years. Not the least of which was your stunts with Tina Mucklow! With you it's all about 'whose ox is getting gored'... as long as it isn't yours. That's pretty funny Bruce. No sense in playing the vestal virgin at this late date with so many orphans that look like you running around lose! You might find Peterson interesting but you ain't him. You crossed the line of innocence and impartiality ages ago ... lol pretty funny.    Meyer can do his own thinking - you dont have to interpret for him, and rest of the world too!

Rackstraw Update

Tom Colbert said Bill Mitchell had identified Robert Rackstraw as DB Cooper, last Sunday, Nov 13, on Coast to Coast AM radio with host Richard Syrett. Colbert spoke definitively, and Syrett replied, "Bingo!"

I have spent all week trying to get through to C2C, Syrett, his producers, etc., to no avail to challenge this assertion.

I believe that Bill Mitchell looked at the photos in front of him. He pointed to Rackstraw and said that it was McCoy. It was also on the History Channel show. They are saying that since Bill pointed out Rackstraw and said McCoy, Mitchell subconsciously remembers the person he pointed to being involved with the hijacking.

The other thing to remember is Bill Mitchell was part of a BBC (I think) special about ten years ago about McCoy.  So, Mitchell's "recognition" of McCoy could just as likely be from that as the hijacking.

When Vicki and I had lunch with Bill, he said he only remembers bits and pieces of Cooper at this point.  Colbert's claim Mitchell identified Rackstraw as the hijacker seems like wishful thinking to me.

Did Mitchell assess Mel Wilson, Vicki's Dad?

Vicki can probably remember the details better than I, but as I recall it, Bill's "bits and pieces" comment was after looking at Mel Wilson's photo.  The "turkey neck" resembled something that he remembered about Cooper, but he just couldn't say one way or the other beyond that.

Do you remember anything else, Vicki?

I copied this from a previous post in "Clues, Documents And Evidence about the Case" on Page 44, Post 650.

I do not want this topic to drift into the "Melvin Wilson" forum. So last word on this. Mitchell could not say one way or the other, but he did state that the sketch did not represent what he remembered from that night. He thought the sketches of Cooper made the hi-jacker's face too thin. He said the facial features, the wider face, cheeks and the gobble neck, on my father's pictures and home videos are facial features he remembers from that night. He also stated that Weber was not Cooper. He said he and his friends would have laughed if Cooper had "Dumbo" ears.

When I originally contacted Bill Mitchell he agreed to look at the photos and videos that I have. The following was part of his response during our email exchanges. 

"Hi Vicki,
I'm not ignoring you, I'm just been thinking and pondering my response. Again it was 43 years ago and I don't have the clear picture in my mind.  But I do remember my reaction to certain things. (as I told the FBI, I was a sophomore at University of Oregon and couldn't understand why this older guy was getting all the attention from the flight attendant!! I checked him out pretty well )
 
OK this is what I've come up with, On the plus side his cheeks, chin and neck looked more like what I thought he looked like.  I had always thought the composite drawing had his face to thin. That isn't much but that is best I can do.  I'll keep looking at the pictures and see if something else comes up. - Bill Mitchell"

Colbert wrote to me:

"Regarding multiple comments by Bruce Smith on my 11/13 Bill Mitchell statement on C2C radio: It was close to 2 am, end of my second hour, when that issue came up. My cheat-sheet note says, "He pointed right at Rackstraw's photo." I haven't had time to check the show recording, but if I mashed that up because of the time crunch and my exhaustive state, then I apologize, especially to my CCT. But I also ended it by saying, "For the full details, see his Testimonial and the related Chapter posted at DBCooper.com".

No problem folks questioning my facts or credibility. But my motive is for truth, not celebrity and fortune -- just like my 40 professionals (90% of them volunteers), with 1000 years of collective experience and skills sets."

Um, thanks for the apology, Tom, but exactly what are you apologizing for? - for saying that Bill Mitchell had identified Rackstraw as DB Cooper? That's what I heard, and apparently that's what Richard Syrett heard, too, because he exclaimed, "Bingo!" right after you made your statement.

With suspects, it doesn't seem to matter who Cooper was. Sail thinks they closed the case after he spoke with Eng. Jo believes Duane is Cooper and is being covered up. Marla believes LD was Cooper. Tom believes Rackstraw is Cooper. Blevins STRONGLY believes Kenny was Cooper. he's now going off of notes from a Sheriff like they are the bible to the case.

"The sheriff's notes also indicate the plane was at 7,000 feet, not 10,000, and that Cooper last spoke to the pilot at 8:05PM, jumped at 8:13PM. Also, that the hijacker DID say he wanted $200,000 in twenties, the bomb was made of 'sticks wrapped in red plastic."

Then he believes the case was closed because Kenny is dead according to the FBI clear across the country, but, could also be an agents personal opinion?

We can clearly see a pattern here. it also appears that evidence doesn't apply with some of these people, or they fail to even know about the case, or read the flight transcripts.

Dated December 24, 2016

According to The Seattle Times, the new suspect, yet to be identified, died of natural causes ten years ago; however, there are plenty of pieces of circumstantial evidence that have drawn the FBI's attention, most specifically a curious auto accident he reported in 1971 right after the incident, possibly to explain away his injuries. The deceased man's family is reportedly working closely with the FBI to turn over personal items which could potentially contain the fingerprints or DNA needed to generate a clear answer.

Is this who they were talking about before closing the case?
