You call her, 57. I've pressed my luck with Tina as far as I think prudent.
You know Bruce, all joking aside, she IS the most important piece of this entire puzzle at this very late stage of the game. Yet, I DO NOT SEE HER ON THE GUEST LIST AT THE BIG EVENT YOU ALL HAVE SCHEDULED!!!! If she is, my apologies. She is the one you need. She is the one that can help solve this now more than anyone. No good DNA. Where is the idiot that lost the cigarettes? Without any good DNA you need either the money, or something like the brief case and not even one of the parachutes out in weather for half a century is of any use any more. TINA MUCKLOW. She is the key. And Flo Shafner would not hurt. But Tina spent 5 hours with him. One podcast, the one I like, infamous America, says he even had a cigarette with him after quitting. She developed a type of "hostage and kidnapper" type of bond with him. If only you could get her to sit down and listen to all of the top suspects. To either finger them or eliminate them. You do not tell her which one she is listening to. Its kind of like a police lineup but with voices instead of faces. You make sure the first one is someone that is not relevant to make sure the test is clean so to speak. Then you try to gather tapes of those like Rackstraw, Reca, Peterson, Christianson, Weber, McCoy, etc and use only words that we know Cooper spoke. Like "looks like" when he said "looks like Tacoma down there". You go through them. If one of them makes her jump out of her chair, you have a hit. If not, you can pretty much bet that none of them are the real DB, which is the likely case. But its one more step to solving this. TINA MUCKLER. She is soooooo important in this. She is the only one living that "knew him". A voice recognition is better than a psychic looking at this IMO. Is she unwilling to talk to anyone or just pissed at you?
If you have any tapes of them saying "no funny stuff" or something that was one of those unforgettable phrases by him, it would help. Now I know some will attack me and say, its been too long. Studies have been done, and yes I studied Psychology and did very well in it. You probably know about ones where they stimulated parts of the brain and memories have been resurrected after years . RECALL. That is the key. Its not out of the realm that Tina could be stimulated into a recall event if she heard HIS VOICE. Thats all. Carry on.
