A second interesting quote - this time from Sluggo Monster - using the same shortcut to DZ :

Here’s what I have been led to believe:

Strands of hair from Gossett’s bandana (the one with the “Airborne Wings” (that you have seen in photos) and a full set of fingerprints (from some military document) were sent to the FBI.

The FBI sent the hair back (I believe) and suggested that Cook get a lab to run the DNA/mDNA and forward the results to the FBI.

I don’t know what they said about the prints. But, remember, the Bureau has only a partial (I don’t know which finger) print that they feel reasonably sure (read THINK) belonged to Cooper.


I think depending on the partial print the FBI can still get a pretty good match, or at least something to move forward with showing possibilities rather than just a story as proof.

Sometimes hijacking is as easy as riding a bike  ;D :D :)

Is this Robb?  He rode up to his United flight on a bike, too, I believe.  But his jack was in late May or early June, 1972.

Frank Sibley was his name.

Right, Sibley. The Norjak team dealt with him at Sea-Tac, such as John Detlor.

I get the impression solving the DBC case is a long way from the F.B.I.'s priority list when I read something like this:

"The FBI sent the hair back (I believe) and suggested that Cook get a lab to run the DNA/mDNA and forward the results to the FBI".

I would agree. they are not going to spend any resources on the case anymore. if a lead comes in, I'm guessing it will have to be a very good one. it's the last thing on there minds IMO.

If someone walked into the F.B.I. building with the missing $194,200 in their hands they'd probably still be asked to come back when things were less busy  ;)

No I don't think so! The cash would be all it would take to get their attention.  :) :) :)

You might not walk back out the same way you went in! :)

Note the unhappy-anxious? look on Pat's face while Harold is talking like a magpie!   ;)

Pat wanted a reward but didn't get it. Denise's mom wanted a reward too.   :( :(   
Tosaw eventually got involved to get them a share.  :-*

18, you really think the FBI isn't talking to me because they're too busy?

Or they can't find the cigarette butts because they're too busy?

Or find the written report on the saliva-based DNA profile because they're too busy?

Or Jeremy Blauser has vanished and remains unfound because the Bureau is too busy?

Or the reports from Calame and Rhodes go unchecked because the FBI is too busy?

Or no feds were on the ground search on T-Day weekend because they were too busy?

Or the feds refuse to attend any DB Cooper Symposia because they're too busy?

So, the question really is Eighteen-C, how do you feel about the FBI and law enforcement in general? Heroes? First responders who keep us safe? Hired guns who protect the 1% A bunch of guys and gals who try to do the right thing put have to deal with a  lot of politicians who muck things up?

Do you think the FBI is telling you the truth?

Have you ever met a cop who lied to you?

How about a cop who broke the law to enforce his version of justice?

Let's go to Ferguson the next time you're in the States......

I should have put "too busy" in inverted commas. The point I was trying to make is how low a priority the DBC case seems to rate with them.

Low priority?  How so?

What is a low priority?  Solving Norjak, or keeping the cover-up going?

The FBI switched into a passive mood back in the 1970s, which seems to have continued in the main since, at least overtly.  The question is why. Too busy? Running out the clock? Or something else?

And where does Larry Carr and his public outreach fit in?  Where does Jeremy Blauser fit in? How did the Marla flap get orchestrated? On Curtis' coffee break? And Al Di? And who paid for GG and Portland? Crown Pub?  All to sell a couple dozen books???

If you look closely, you can see the ripples on the surface of the water suggesting that something is moving more deeply.

No?

The FBI as over-worked heroes rubs me the wrong way.  It's a sore spot...I get a little intense....

I don't think that Gossett being overweight shortly after the hijacking is that big of a deal.

I heard a trivia question several years ago (on the John Boy and Billy show, I think). The question was, "What is the one thing that every big lottery winner has done after winning the lottery?"  The answer: Gained weight.

I don't know if that is actually true, but it does make sense that someone could come into a large sum of money, get a little lazy, over indulge, and wake up one day and realize they're fat. I did that myself....minus the large sum of Money.
