That makes it difficult.  Since it appears Dawn was married to Richard Androsko when he died in 1984, her name when she came out in 1972 was probably different.  If we can find property records of a house she bought in 1972 (and I'm going to try to go sleuthing in a couple of weeks), we can probably track that down.

Problem with the KC story being posted...so much of it was "too good to check".  Dawn had a good job?  What kind of work did she do?  Who did she work for?  Evidentally, that was not checked.

Really...when Robert talked about Marla's story having more holes than swiss cheese, I'm not sure I can find the cheese on his story.

The public library has a library version of ancestry.com and I went to see if I could research something about Bernie Geestman and Dawn Androsko.  Both show up in the 1930 and 1940 census living in Minnesota.  Their father (also Bernie Geestman) died in Minnesota in 1945.  Their mother (Alva Geestman) died in Tacoma in 1988.  I wasn't able to discover what the surname of Dawn between the time when it was Geestman and Androsko, but I will.

I'm not actively pushing any suspect at this writing, primarily because I'm too busy working in my profession as an attorney.  Everyone seems to have an opinion on the most likely suspect, and that's a good thing, as it helps flesh out facts that may have been overlooked.  I have examined Kenneth Christianson more closely over the past several months and I have this to report:  He does not fit the physical description as described by eyewitnesses, he did not have a criminal background or a predisposition to fit a criminal profile for such a crime, he had no apparent motive to undertake such a risk, he worked for the very airline that was hijacked (which means he would have certainly faced the fellow crew members that he threatened at a later point in time), and, it is highly questionable that he possessed the ability to exit a plane traveling nearly 200 mph without a static line from which he was trained.  Christianson had a paratrooper qualification in the WW2 era, but no records indicate he ever jumped in combat, or ever jumped after his military training (as a civilian).  In otherwords, it is most likely that Christianson made his last parachute jump in the 1940's (two and a half decades prior to 1971).  Christianson probably never did a free-fall jump, and certainly, 25 years without any jump would have made it very unlikely that he was the 1971 hijacker.  In addition, I have this to report:  Ken Christianson was ruled-out as a suspect by both Curtis Eng and Larry Carr.  Eng and Carr were/are case managers for NORJAK.  Each has told me personally that Christianson was not DB Cooper, and therefore will not be examined further by the FBI.  Only the NOJAK case managers make that determination, not other agents or FBI media representatives who are not assigned to the case.  William Mitchell and I met several years ago and I showed him several photos of various suspects.  I showed Mitchell a photo of Ken Christianson.  Mitchell said that Christianson was not DB Cooper.  Skipp Porteous and I have talked on the phone many times over the past seven years and he told me that Christianson's past was colored because he was a gay man who liked and entertained young men.  This was probably his "secret" that he could not reveal to brother Lyle Christianson.  Lyle Christianson was interviewed by KXLY AM970 radio host, Mike Fitzsimmons, in November 2007.  I debated Lyle during the live call-in show.  Lyle admitted that he had no evidence of any kind to advance his fantasy that Ken Christianson was DB Cooper.  Lyle stated that his brother lived near Seattle, worked for Northwest Airlines, and was a former paratrooper.  That was all the evidence Lyle gave.  What Lyle really wanted was a Hollywood movie depicting Ken Christianson as DB Cooper so that Lyle would become famous and make money.  It seems that there is only one person remaining who is trying desperately to push Ken Christianson as DB Cooper.  That person is Robert Blevins, a co-author of a very poorly researched, and factually incorrect, version of the 1971 hijacking.  It seems Mr. Blevins is desperate, when all other former supporters of the Ken Christianson theory have long-ago packed their bags and departed.  Maybe Mr. Blevins is seeking fame and riches.  One thing for sure:  Mr. Blevins has produced no evidence that is either probative or supports his theory.  His sole source of support is that a "probable co-conspirator named Geestman is lying about his involvement with Ken Christianson."  This is a flimsy way to construct a case, and the reason why Mr. Blevins gets no attention from the FBI, from bonafide DB Cooper researchers, or from credible media sources.  Ken Christianson was not DB Cooper, not matter how much Mr. Blevins keeps fantacizing.  And those are the facts.

that about sums it up. I would add that I find it extremely strange that Lyle had no clue of this for decades. the brothers were obviously close, and I am positive Lyle was aware of the crime, and the sketch that he just so happened to see decades later? some of the witnesses Robert claims to have are falling under fire for the simple reason they didn't really know Kenny that well. the purchase of the house was a huge deal before it was found to be incorrect. the large sum of money in his account prior to his death can easily be explained. actually a large portion of it is missing if you wish to split hairs. Kenny sold a large lot consisting of approx, 18 acres I believe selling at $17,000 an acre. the lot was purchased in the early 60's. Robert likes to toss things in to make it look like it was connected to the crime. I ask this, what was a poor guy who slaved for Northwest Orient, with very little pay, purchasing real estate? you can't have one way in my opinion. I think Kenny was good with money, and knew exactly what he was doing, and it paid off for him. I don't see any mystery here.....

The wood in the attic is nothing but that. the house went through a lot of changes, including the removal of the kitchen, and the ever so popular countertop with the same formica on it.

I think Kenny was an average guy who worked just like everyone else does, and bitched about work, just as everyone does. the worse hurdle for Kenny to get over is Tina stating she had to look up at Cooper. she would be at eye level with Kenny. I'm sure Kenny knew exactly how to open the stairs. he would have to know the plane inside and out for emergencies.

The story has now taken a turn with all kinds of people coming forward? this is a Bob Knoss tactic if you ask me. the word "smoke & mirrors" comes to mind!

Bruce Kitt told me it was pretty obvious the whole Decoded-Kagin/Blevins 'production' was nothing more than a staged media creation trying to produce a preconceived result. They took people's statements out of context, or only parts of people's statements which they claimed fit a certain interpretation. They ignored people's other comments and statements wholesale, which disagreed with their contention KC could be DB Cooper. And Bruce made it perfectly clear neither he nor the NWA History Center endorses anything Blevins has said or claimed ...and it is apparent that Blevins has never made any attempt to correct the record with respect to Mr. Kitt. Had not I intervened and called and talked to Mr. Kitt, very likely Mr. Blevins would have continued to peddle his version of what Kitt was filmed saying, Blevins would have continued to bypass the whole issue of what Kitt's actual views and information are,  and Mr. Blevins would never have made Kitt's "actual views" he expressed to Meltzer and Kagin known ! It's a textbook example of simple fraud on Blevins’ part!

When I presented this material on DZ several nights ago the only ‘hook’ Blevins could find to use was an accusation that ‘I had betrayed  confidence in revealing Kitt’s feelings and the true story of what happened during the production of Decoded, Kitt conveyed to me in a private conversation’!?  In fact there was no such confidence implied or expressed between Kitt and myself.  Then last night RMB reprises what I posted Kitt saying during OUR conversation … almost as if Blevins had conducted the interview himself!  He gives me no credit whatever.  It’s just one more example of distortion and fraud. Mr. Blevins didn’t interview Kitt. I did!
