I like McCoy as a suspect. He had the skills to do it.  The big problem is that no one recognized him. To overcome that you would need physical evidence to support the case for McCoy being Cooper. The big thing would be some money, or a parachute. Calaame and Rhodes were able to put him in Vegas with receipts which would be a good place to launder money.

Vegas is also a good place to buy whores, cars, and camels! So what! Has nothing to do with the Cooper case.

McCoy was a talker. Prior to being arrested he basically bragged to a friend about his escapade, and the friend immediately called law enforcement. McCoy bragged to others about his adventures. In none of his bragging did he say anything that connected to the Cooper hijacking. Its likely that had he done the Cooper hijacking he would have bragged about that also ... why not! He hadnt been arrested for anything yet ...

Didn't he actually brag before he did his hijacking? Basically told a friend how he would have went about doing the Cooper hijacking?

Dan told me that "just wait for part two"!!  And I loved part 1 as I told him.  Look at McCoy's picture when he was 28.  He not only looked like the composite sketch, but he looked far far older than his age.  He looked like a cross between Dillinger and "Pretty Boy" Floyd.  Gee, good middle name for old Richard.  I am pretty confident after seeing Dan's video, documentary, that McCoy was very likely DB Cooper.  Getting any hard forensic evidence in ones hand now is going to be next to impossible.  Unless, Dan is saving something for part two?  Maybe his children are making damn sure a frustrated FBI can not come after them?  Dan was right on the money about the FBI in this case. They did a horrible job and "who loses evidence"?  Maybe they did get rid of the cigarettes later on deliberately tp make sure McCoy was never proven to be Cooper.   But Dan and his kids are doing a bang up job to prove he indeed was. Forget about the guy being in his 40' crap.  MCCOY LOOKED FAR OLDER THAN HE WAS!!!!!  Are you going to dispute that Mr Ulis?  It kills me the knee jerk reaction video's he has put out.  It just horrifies him that he may not be the one to hit pay dirt with that shovel.  And titanium on the tie does not disprove that Richard could not have done it.   He could have gotten that tie from someone that was around it or even just grabbed it somewhere.  There is no way to know.  Lets wait for part two before throwing the kitchen sink at Mr Gryder, ok Erik?  Unless you want to grab a bag with $200,000, and make the jump into the Columbia yourself?

- I have to agree about the age issue here.  For me, McCoy passes pretty easily for looking 10 or so years older than he was.

- I don't think the FBI intentionally destroyed the cigarettes to hide or cover up McCoy as being Cooper.  I attached a picture to this post from the 302s from December of 1971 which captures a note to the FBI lab asking them to examine the cigarettes.  At the end of the note, it says that the above "enclosed", ( I take this to be the evidence i.e. cigarettes), can be destroyed when the lab is done.  So this is 4 months BEFORE McCOY hijacked UAL 855.  I am sure that other folks on the forum have additional notes and information about how and when the butts were lost/destroyed...but this snippet is hanging out right there in part 65.

- I have a totally open mind, so if Dan puts out part 2, and he should do it to address the holes if he is so confident and wants to convince people, I will definitely watch it and be open to change my mind.  It's a little interesting that he never indicated a part 2 prior, he said that this would be definitive and then he would walk away and not address anything, seems to have had a change of heart.

Anyway, cheers DBFAN....Happy and Merry to you and all on the forum !

Same to you !  Merry Christmas.  I must simply say, Dan was attacked after his presentation and everyone here knows by who.  Just go on YouTube, and find the scathing rebuttal with no merit.  This is far from over and Dan and the McCoys know that for sure.  I think the other parties here that have attacked his video should wait for part two. 
I am opening a bottle of Cabernet from Napa  Valley tonight and celebrating Christmas Eve at my youngest daughters.  My oldest is in NJ.  New baby girl at my youngest daughters house.   Then I go to mass in the morning,.  I would have preferred to attend on Xmas eve.  Back to wearing masks. Oh, and since I heve mentioned that, we cannot forget Richard did disguise himself during the, well lets just call it the "botched LA to SF skyjacking, 5 months after the famous one".  Perhaps he wore makeup in the first one if indeed he is the infamous DB Cooper.  I await part 2  I credit Dan for a fabulous presentation.  And nobody here should rush to judgement and deem Richard's children of lying,
