I seriously doubt he has anything new. Kenny has had enough exposure to of brought something forward, as Georger says, squat happened. except for the hundreds of emails he gets from "the public". his plan is a good one by acting out the "trust" issue, and only allowing the media, or LE to "examine" the new found evidence. that gives him time to spare since he has nothing new. what happened with the DNA? things were rolling right along faster than anyone dealing with the FBI? one email to them, and show was on the road. if it happened that quick, shouldn't the findings follow the same speed? where are the updates, and emails back and forth with all involved? this was moving at a rapid pace.

Marla again. what would Robert have done if Marla claimed she didn't trust him and refused to answer any questions? he would still be going on about it to this day! he believes dropzone is the only place to go when it comes to DB Cooper.

I'm a little confused here. why would Lyle contact the Sheriff to have the DNA test done when Arc Point has a lab close by? the proper protocol would be to go to them, or they will come to you and do the testing. would the County Sheriff agree to do a test like this? who is paying the County for there services. the crime occurred outside of Minnesota.

How is it that the FBI is discussing an open case with anyone? how are they answering Roberts constant questions to them. the usual response is "we can not discuss the details of an open case" the only person they should respond to would be Lyle. he had the testing done. (no proof of this)

They wouldn't even talk to Decoded, and yet Robert get answers?

First of all. Is he getting answers? 

When my DNA was taken, it was taken from a deputy at Ramsey County. I set it up with my friend who works at the department. With a few phone calls with NamUs they sent a DNA packet to the County. When the Sheriff's Department received the testing kit from the University of North Texas (UNT is the testing lab for NamUs), I had to go to the Sheriff's Dept. and a licensed deputy swabbed my cheeks. He sealed the swab into the plastic vial and again sealed it into an envelope. On that envelope was the "chain of custody".  The envelope was put into another envelope and mailed to the University of north Texas for the testing. In the case of my brother, his DNA test was done by the military police at Fort Bragg. They used the packet sent by the University of North Texas.

Once UNT completed the  DNA profiles they were put into the missing persons CODIS database. Janet Franson, my liaison at NamUs sent a few emails to SA Curtis Eng asking the FBI lab to compare the samples to the Cooper DNA. She did not get a response. She sent a third email and received a message from the PIO Ayn Deitrich giving her the brush off. So...if an agent from another Department of Justice program gets the brush off why would anybody else get an answer from the FBI.

Here is the email sent to Curtis Eng at the Seattle FBI by Janet Franson at NamUs:

"Agent Eng,
Please accept this as my formal request to request the FBI lab to compare the DNA samples you have of D.B. Cooper, with the samples that the University of N. Texas has with one Melvin Wilson, UNT missing person MP# 15178.
This potential match has been requested before, but was not responded to.
Your assistance with this comparison would be greatly appreciated.
"

and the email Janet received by Ayn Dietrich:

"Hello, Ms. Fransonβ€”
 
I work with Special Agent Eng in the FBI Seattle field office and I handle inquiries from the media and public.  SA Eng forwarded me your email so I could explain to you the limitations we face in responding to your inquiry.
 
During any given investigation, the FBI receives many tips, follows many leads, and talks to many people.  In accordance with DOJ policy, we cannot discuss details of ongoing investigations. This includes not disclosing subjects considered and/or excluded, and investigative techniques that may be used.  I understand the public and valued partners to the FBI are curious about the FBI's investigative process, and they may rest assured that the FBI pursues all leads that we believe will provide us with information of investigative value. 

SA Eng has received your messages and handled them appropriately.  I apologize that we are unable to disclose the nature and extent of our investigative response.
 
Regards,
Ayn"

So. It is difficult to believe that ArcPoint would get anything more than a brush off.

Basically you couldn't gain custody of the sample to say, send it to me. Is that correct?

Nope...but if you want I will swab my cheek with a Q-Tip, place it in a ziploc and send it to you in a number 9 envelope.   

I'm a little confused here. why would Lyle contact the Sheriff to have the DNA test done when Arc Point has a lab close by? the proper protocol would be to go to them, or they will come to you and do the testing. would the County Sheriff agree to do a test like this? who is paying the County for there services. the crime occurred outside of Minnesota.

This isnt worth my time@!

Go with Vicki's account. That is SOP in these situations.

This is cheap theatre and totally boring. Blevins is just a buffoon going in circles taking others with him. The procedures for handling evidence were established decades ago! If Blevins etal chose to violate those standards that is his business - it's no surprise given his record.

There are numerous manuals-directives on this from a host of sources, from the CDC, NIH, FBI, etc... examples:

Case closed.

To date it appears the story came directly from Skipps website. he claims they have Lyle's DNA. the rest appears to be enlarged by Mr. Honest. I'll check more once I return back from work...

Hi to all the sleuths:

Something that has to be brought to the attention of the FBI is that their finding that DB died in the jump is really a dumb conclusion. Especially if that is the reason they (FBI) are no longer working on the case. All other jet jumpers survived the jump and I am sure that Sheridan Peterson had many skills in skydiving that made it possible for him to survive the jump. Earl Cossey helped the FBI determine that DB died in the jump and Cossey might have been part of the ground DB Cooper support guys. Cossey could have helped the FBI come to the conclusion to help cover-up what really happened. The strange answers from Cossey before he died, leads me to conclude he was involved in the caper. He knew Sharidon from the early days of Sheridon bringing the Boeing Skydiving Club (which he started) to Issaquah. Cossey could have been one of the ground guys and the launder of the loot in the many Casino's he visited on a regular basis. He could have been the investor of the loot for Sheridan which worked for 40 years.

More Self Serving Double Talk and Made Up Stuff from Blevins -

quothe: Hate to burst your bubble...

But your information is YEARS old. Don't you think I know that the original book has errors? Of course I do. This is why when people send me messages about it, I warn them that it does have errors, and that it should only be used as a general guide on Christiansen.

If the book were THE reference on Christiansen and the people who knew him, and had all the correct answers on his story, I could just send the Seattle FBI a copy of the book. This is why it was necessary to create a fully updated report on him, and correct any and all errors on the evidence and make sure the testimony of witnesses is solid. You quote stuff from 2010 or whatever. And then there is the reality of what we discovered since then.
However, I think some of you are worried we might be right, or even that the Seattle FBI might take this report more seriously with the additional testimony from Geestman's own family.

And in my humble opinion, I wonder if some of you are being just a little bit phony. I will do you the courtesy of telling you why. It's because if you were REALLY looking for the truth on Christiansen you would support the idea of submitting this report ASAP to the Seattle FBI. You would WANT to see this done because you would want to know the truth about him. Instead, many of you seem afraid of the possibility that the Seattle FBI might actually investigate Kenny and Friends this time. I can even guess at your motivations.
Some of you have invested so much time, effort, and postings into saying I 'fabricated' the evidence on Kenny, or made things up, or went negative to the point of being banned (Meyer Louie and Georger, for example) that you would choke yourselves to death if Kenny turned out to be Cooper. This idea is absolutely anathema to you. It would be like having to swallow a golf ball. I can understand this as well.

I wouldn't worry too much. Chances are that Kenny will turn out to be like all the other suspects who have been forwarded as Cooper...a dead end. The only thing we're really trying to accomplish here is to get the FBI to do something they have never done before - just take a good, hard look at Kenny Christiansen and the people still alive who knew him. No matter what you may have heard elsewhere, they have never done that. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that concept, even if YOU do. 

Lessons Learnt:  (a) a book is not a reference. (b) a book is a guide. (c) a guide is not a reference, and a reference is not a guide! (d) you fear and worry according to Blevins. Don't worry. Don't fear. But you will fear and worry because Blevins says you are fearing and worrying! Fear and worry as essential components of the Blevins Pea Party Dialectic! (e) Georger was banned from Dropzone. A perma-perma bananaana.

Have you got that all straight? Call Blevins and B&G Houscleaning in Auburn Washing if you have any questions.
