A couple of anecdotal notes my friend mentioned:  Sounds like the fire crew he and Mort were in was a fairly crazy bunch of guys, and Mort was the wildest of the bunch.  One night 5 of them were in a car partying, came to a stop sign, Mort reached over, turned the car off and threw the keys out the window into the bushes. 

Also, when confronted about being Cooper he never denied it (which I know is common among suspects).

If there is a connection between these three skydiving Gossetts it would make for a good conspiracy theory wouldn't it?  Would have asked for $300K though, 200 is harder to split 3 ways.   

Here is a photo from 1972. Mort is shown to have thinning hair.

Since it's quiet here lately I'll add a bit to the Skydiving Gossetts.  Mort and Lee Gossett have a brother named Charles Gossett.  William Gossett mentions his cousin Charles Gossett here.  Not certain one and the same.

"William Gossett told his cousin Charles Gossett that he knew all about D.B. Cooper but could not talk to Charles about it."

One other item. Was out with my pilot friend today, he was talking about all the stuff he has to remember to pack for his weekly trips, and at the airport office they have a box full of ties for any pilot if they forgot one.  Made think of Cooper grabbing one.

Found evidence that my "foreign suspect" spent time in the Seattle area around 1966, that timeframe matches the evidence for the tie. The two labels on the tie put a date of manufacture around 1965 +/- 6 months..  The Penny's tie was not available outside the US at that time..

For the hijacker to be a foreigner they would have had to have been in the US to obtain the Penny's tie around 1965/66. (there are some minor exceptions)

foreigner from where?

I knew he was travelling in western Canada in 1966, but now have evidence that he went down to Seattle, not uncommon for people to do, add a US leg..

The timing is critical as it lines up with the manufacture/sale date for the Penny's tie.

Penny's didn't sell that tie in Canada and expanded out of US many years later. For the hijacker to be a foreigner and obtain the tie around 1965/66 he had to have been in the US.. (unless it was a gift or something) Generally, the US only Penny's tie has always been a hurdle for the foreigner theory and now that we have established the tie manufacture date around 1965 it makes it even tougher. A foreigner would have had to have been in the US around 1965/66 to obtain the tie and again in 1971 for the hijacking.

I just received a suspect photo in the mail purporting to be from late 1960's, might be mid sixties but a dead ringer for the suspect sketch even the clothes are an exact match and I just realized that in the stuff sent to me, I have a recording of his voice, deep, smooth pleasant/polite.. but in French. I also found evidence that he knew at least 3 languages.. pic of him in parachute, WW2, 95% of tie particles match and much more..

If we could ever get a witness to look at the pic and listen to the voice and they recognize it, the FBI would be convinced to do a DNA comp from the book sample I obtained from Quebec.

Only way to get a solve is put a suspect on the plane. Only way to put him on the plane is DNA/prints..

With all this talk about the Dan Cooper comic, did anyone stop to think Cooper could be....ALBERT WEINBERG?

Carr went over to talk to the Tintin principles and staff (still living). Albert Weinberg at two different ages.
