Why were the Ingram’s on the beach in February?  Why would they be on Any beach in February in the Pacific Northwest.   And the boy just happened to be digging in that one spot?  That’s some coincidence.  Lol!  Has anyone checked the Ingram’s phone records from the Fall of ‘71?

So, what do you do for fun with the kids on a Sunday in February, Sammy?

Roasting hot dogs sounds good to me!

The money find is full of unanswered questions..when you watch the 1980 video they claim $3,000 was found on Sunday. It also claims a small piece of a stack was found..One agent is quoted saying “ a formless fist size clump of money he describes as a wadded up bunch of $20 bills” do you see any photo's of that? Two reports claim $3,000 was found by the Ingram's and more money found on Tuesday and Wednesday by the FBI..the truth is in this somewhere..

Some of it could of stayed in Washington and never returned to Seattle..most of the physical evidence stayed in Nevada. Butts, cups, hair sample etc.

Robert Blevins whines about not seeing, or testing the Amboy chute and tried to say Tom Kaye was denied access to it...as you read some of the 302's lots of chutes were found over the years. Do you see photo's of all of those? Tom told me it never crossed his mind to ask about it since it was found not to belong to the case...one chute was found on top of a garbage can..a couple in the Columbia etc.

Tom also explains the holes in the money. I seriously doubt it was done by a ice pick, or termites. Are we implying the money was a waste of time by allowing it to sit somewhere and let termites eat it, then get rid of it on a beach years later, really? The bills also look like they are a hundred years old, but that's not the case either, is it?

If Cooper was as smart as most of you claim. He would of easily got rid of the money and profited from his actions. This is all based on the fact of him surviving which nobody can prove at this time. That's another frustrating part of the case...dead or alive? The FBI has mentioned several times the money could of gone undetected..it appears Cooper knew everything else in the world, except this?

Now, we all need to get along here, or I'm going to start deleting members, not just giving vacations like the one that will apply today. Running a forum is not easy, just ask Robert Blevins. He was shut down again for terms of service violations. That's like his 6th attempt at running a forum.

Name calling will NOT be tolerated..fighting fire with gasoline never works..I realize we all flex our brain muscles here trying to outsmart one another. I think it's a lot simpler proving, or challenging the facts presented vs attacking the person presenting a theory..

This case has gone on for decades unsolved..it's not going to be easy to solve, or that would have been done years ago..lets work the problem vs creating a problem?

I need to add to my earlier statement....  re termites.   
I mentioned that the termites tend to tunnel..and I am speaking from experience in owning a  1902 built house...
HOWEVER, I totally forgot about this...that once in early summer, i left a small piece of I think a 2 x 4 or some wood, on the side lawn...and it must have been there a month, and I pick it up and its being annihilated on the underside of it where its sitting and compressing in the dew and grass making contact with the soil, and tons of termites were almost uniformly going to work on it on its bottom side.  It wasn't a typical experience where they bore a tunnel, because it was an entire army. So apparently when the water is present they can come en masse and eat at once... but when it is completely dry, that is when they tunnel, as they have to go back to drink.  And that was disturbing to see these clear ants chomping away.     Having said that, one needs to appreciate the RATE of consumption of termites...and therefore only can add, that IF the bundle was attacked by termites, the unsub MUST have caught them in the act after a short period of time, because otherwise there'd be nothing left, THAT you can be sure of.

OK - guys where are we discussing this - in what thread - we cant be jumping around between two threads.

Does anyone here recall me saying (over and over again!) that objects left in Nature tend to get rounded at the corners, and rectangular objects tend to lose not just corners but mass at the entire margins of the object tending toward an ellipsoid shape? Here is a clear cut example of this in the Cooper bills - an image at the Ingram auction page.

Notice the graying/thinning of the bill's mass all around the periphery of the bill. This is a concrete example of what I am talking about.

All of the Ingram bills show this effect. Anywhere where continuous energy is applied you get loss in mass. (mass/heat conversion). Tom had already documented some torquing of the bills. (perhaps top bills nearest flowing water?) In any event, torquing places stress (energy) on the middles of bills which would tend to cause wear in the middles resulting in bills breaking into two pieces near the middles. This is simple applied physics. 

again, some of you imply that Cooper was smart as a whip...then believe he allowed his hard earnings to rot away as if he realized he couldn't spend the money after getting away?...basically, he did the crime to prove it could be done?

did Cooper dig a huge hole and start trimming the bills and dropping them in the sand as he covered the hole back up?

/basically, he did the crime to prove it could be done?/

That was exactly what a lot of people thought at the time. A political stunt-message to The Man.   

Been going through the last few pages on this thread. So if I missed it for give me.
All the bills at Tina Bar were found with rubber bands, not those paper "bank bands" correct?
