Interesting article here. Chicago Daily Herald Feb. 15, 1980

Well, the story basically is told as 3 bundles found. the I read Carr stating 4 bundles found. then I stumble on this article. I'm not sure everyone has read it, so I posted it. so, yes, I find it interesting.

Acceptable?

There are too many inconsistencies to trust any of the anecdotes about the original find. Kaye's analysis suggests there were at least two bundles. That's about all I believe anymore.

Hmm, where is the reference to only two bundles?

Here is what I see on Kaye's site...

Fact: Three bundles of 20 dollar bills were found just below the surface of the sand on Tena Bar in 1980.
Fact: The bundles were identified as D.B. Cooper's because the FBI had recorded the serial numbers and the bills matched.
Fact: Sand was dredged from the Columbia River and dumped on Tena Bar in 1974.
FBI Transcript: The dredging sands were pushed 50 yards up and down the beach.
Interpretation: If the money find was substantially more than 50 yards from the dredging sands, it could not have been dredged from the river.

I'm specifically referring to the bundle reconstruction he created based on the bills he was given. Any personal anecdotes about how the bills were found I discount, not because of any malicious intent on the part of the Ingrams, the accounts just vary too much (He and his cousin versus just him finding the money, one bundle, three bundles, rubber bands, no rubber bands, etc)

Understood, I was trying to understand the two bundle reference. just imagine the stories flying around with Hoffa. I'll bet some arguments flare up with that case.

I'm not on the acceptability squad.   Seems to me a fine idea to post what maybe everyone hasn't seen.  I still can't tell for sure just why you think something of it is interesting.

It looks like maybe you see some conflict between this account and others.  If that is the point of interest, I'll just point out that essentially every word has multiple meanings, and everyone does not use the same word for every thing.   Maybe Pringle was just trying to communicate that all the money and all its pieces were all together in some single mass or volume ("bundle," like a bundle of laundry) previously.   Or maybe he was referring to multiple packets of about 100 bills each (what Cooper talkers call "bundles") having been combined together into "bundles" before being put into the bag.

I looked up the word "Interesting" it has several definitions.

Attracting your attention and making you want to learn more about something or to be involved in something : not dull or boring.

Holding the attention :  arousing interest.

I find it "Interesting" that we have carried this simple comment beyond it's original purpose, or intention. I understand that some things may not be interesting to some, but can be interesting to others. I find the statement of one bundle nothing more than plain old interesting. the whole case itself is interesting. it makes people want to learn more about the case, and try to understand things.

I don't think this current discussion is interesting.
