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..
Just found out my "foreign suspect" was in a heated dispute with his long term "employer" and fired/left around the time of the hijacking.. don't know exact date but he didn't have a 9-5 type job..
I think I see where you're going with this?
Were the Ingrams in Tintin?
Which one is Brian?
Can't sort this out for you, just yet.. this forum is too public, it is very simple and all makes perfect sense.
I now have over 50 pieces of circumstantial evidence plus DNA.. all the pieces together make a very strong circumstantial case, but only DNA gets a true solve.
The center of Tintin publishing was in Belgium? The Weinbergs were in Belgium? The tie label is circa '65-66? (Why didn't Tom come up with that? Will Kaye dispute that?) Can dna be obtained which follows protocols? Do you want dna processed in Belgium or the USA?
good points, Tintin being French was distributed throughout Francophone Canada. I did inform Kaye about evidence "dating" the tie 1965/66, he liked it.. IMO, it is more significant than people realize, not just for my suspect but in the case generally. Tie was purchased in the US and worn for about 5/6 years.
DNA check is doable for a solve but not for a prosecution.. FBI admitted that their test results won't work in court, 14 profiles, but if my/any suspect matches one of those, it is a public solve, not a legal one.
IMO, a prosecution is not an option any longer but a solve is.. (assuming this is the guy)
Problem is pulling together the circumstantial case and getting the FBI to compare DNA now that they have "closed" the case, chances are slim to none so a possible plan B is a full public disclosure of all my evidence and that would be explosive news..
I really want to tell you guys more, but I feel it may be detrimental to a solve at this point, but it will all be made public..
Individually, the 50+ pieces of circumstantial evidence don't make much of a case, but in their totality it is very compelling. The odds of all these things lining up by mere coincidence is very slim.
No doubt about it - knowing the label dates to 65/66 is valuable evidence. That was missed before so congrats!
As for the rest this goes back to Dropzone. Some of us discussed this then. Carr came on board and got curious and went to see Mr X etal; at least I think Carr said he was going to make the trip and talked a little about it later. The rest is all Dark Side of the Moon stuff only Carr knows. But, its not like the connections werent made and some did look into this. Snowmman? How far did he venture into this?
I dont see the physical connection but I could be wrong? Does a physical profile match up? Latin in appearance ?
And how in hell would money get to Tina Bar !!! That's one big question...
Please continue .... we will give you space, at least I will.
The dates and contents of the publications have to line up ... thats one chain of evidence.
As for dna evidence dont close the door yet ... but ... you cant prosecute a dead man in any event!
The comic discussion back on Dropzone doesn't really apply.. I can confirm that 2 distinct Dan Cooper comic stories have some relevance and both were published prior to the hijacking. I know sounds bizarre..
TBAR doesn't play a role here, the only assumption is that he hijacker survived. Flightpath isn't relevant.
My opinion, the hijacker jumped with the plane on the FBI flightpath and lost some of the money in the stairway descent tied up in a piece of parachute/in briefcase and it fell into the Columbia River minutes later then a float to TBAR. This isn't part of my evidence just speculation. we'll never know
a few points,
photo sent to me purported circa 1968 is a ringer for the hijacker composite sketch right down to the clothes..
age match, deep voice, turkey neck, glasses, a bit geeky, slight marcel hair, polite, not obviously latin appearance but hard to tell from B/W photo
have a few pics of him wearing a back parachute and flight-suit 1960's.. extensive high level airplane knowledge
all those rare earth particles on the tie match his environment (except the cp-Ti, maybe that got picked up on plane or?) always wore a tie
had dispute and separation from employer around time of hijacking..
and much more...
