Interesting, I'll look over the links tomorrow. can we believe that the letter was from Cooper, and he tried to hind this fact? wouldn't it be easier typing out the letter, or use the famous cut outs in order to camouflage who the author is rather than try and change his handwriting which seems to be seen by experts no matter what you do? If Cooper did in fact write that letter and mailed it miles away from his known location, he wouldn't be worried about his handwriting? he would have to be caught first, and then linked to the letter, but it's to late by then, they know who he is? if he is taunting the FBI. I'm not convinced he would try and cover his writing. I don't think he would be worried about it IMO.

I still believe he would have signed it Dan Cooper vs DB Cooper, and supplied a $20 bill to seal the deal. I could be wrong, I don't know.....gotta hit the hay........

Many people think as you do. Taunting the FBI? The letter was not sent to the FBI. No guarantee the letter would ever be seen by the FBI! No guarantee of a taunt. A little like this BIG PLANT of Cooper money T-Bar. Why not just put $5800 in a shoe box and send it to the FBI!? Or to some major newspaper. If you actually want it found, that is.  I am sure Kenny and Diesel Geestman stowed their Cooper twenties in a tool chest on board some tug boat? Or better yet under an outhouse back on Shemya. Surely there is some walrus Blevins could interview - aarf aarf, aarf aarf aarf? Aarf aarf. Who has a walrus dictionary handy - only RMB! 

I know if I was Cooper I would be long gone! No letters back home to the FBI or anyone else! Hell they would have to chase me clear to the Antarctic if I could get there!    And they would need a Walrus Dictionary written by who else = RobertMBlevins. Aarf aarf.    
 

Well Snoop makes a good point that there could be something in the content of the letter that linked it to DB Cooper, which is more likely than it linking to what is known purely about the hijacker. So, for instance if you knew for sure who the hijacker was you could link content in The Provence letter to previous phrases that individual used throughout their life, etc. But assuming you don't know the identity of the hijacker, linking the letter to the hijacker based purely on what is known of him through the events of the hijacking the chances of 'proving' the letter was written by the hijacker seems slim in my mind. They could have shown The Provence letter to Flo to see if it looked like the handwriting she saw in the bomb threat note he showed her to establish a link that way. Unaware of any reason to believe the FBI or anyone has tried showing her The Provence letter.

Is Wm Shakespeare's hand writing in an old dictionary purchased on EBay? Did the dictionary belong to Shakespeare? Millions are at stake not to mention historical facts. Top flight hand writing experts, linguists, and other forensic experts are now beginning to assess the dictionary and the hand writing in an effort that could eventually rival the debate that exploded over the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Will the socalled Cooper letter ever receive similar attention? I don't think so. (Many millions of dollars are not at stake, nor the Words of the Lord either!) Will Shakespeare's dna be found in that book!? Not likely. Will Cooper's dna be found on the reverse side of the stamp on that envelope? In dunno! But 377 is competing with offers to the FBI to find out. We have a top flight panel of well funded experts on the one hand, and a subterranean cliche of back yard mechanics on the other! Who knew!

How do we know the FBI hasn't already done this with the letter?

Me, neither.

Has Jo Weber's dna ever been tested! Since she knows everything in the case, backwards, forwards, and upside down, maybe she was DB Cooper? Plus she's an expert psychologist (having been a realty specialista). As she always says: "Hide it in plain sight". Just sayin. All the other cliches apply also -
 

She could of been "the woman on the ground where Cooper came out" 

Apologies for the slight change of subject. But I'm becoming increasingly interested in WILLIAM GOSSETT

Gossett looks disconcertingly similar in appearance to the DBC sketches. I found it absolutely eery TBH.

Gossett also ticks the boxes the FBI seem to place a lot of stock in - his eye colour is correct and his height is near as darn it correct too.

Bruce has already mentioned other aspects of Gossett, including that he was about the right age, was a former paratrooper, was in the right place at the right time to have encountered the Dan Cooper comic, and to top it all off, confessed to the crime as well.

I'm not suggesting the above points make him DB Cooper, but he sure ticks a few boxes.

My question to the learned here is: What are the most obvious downsides to William Gossett having been Cooper???

The BIGGEST downside by far is: (a) RobertMBlevins !

In other words: it will give RobertMBlevins yet one more opportunity to launch one more of his MEGA-WARs lasting months if not years, against somebody Blevins has already declared is his No.1 mortal arch enemy from birth! A Jihad of major proportions. JO WEBER will join in without mercy! So .. before launching this war call the Pres. of the United States, The National Security Council, the U.N., Danielle 1010, Bruce Smith, and all greys on Planet Aamazon!

That is the minimum that will happen.    Gaur-ohn-teed!

RoJo are not posters here yet are they?

(kinda did a Hollywood thing there by joining them a bit like "Brangelina" - apologies in advance)

Are we not therefore safe to discuss William Gossett here? He seems to fit the mould reasonably well from the little I know about him.

Anyone game to discuss him
