DB Cooper / Re: Clues, Documents And Evidence About The Case
« Last post by Dfs346 on December 23, 2024, 02:20:49 PM »Francis Tapon and myself, discussing D. B. Cooper and Flight 305 on the WanderLearn channel: .
Despite the provocative headline on YouTube, I do not fault the FBI's handling of the case of Flight 305. Some aspects, for example the concept of the "sled test" flight, were brilliant.
I think that the FBI relied on outside experts who did not provide a full picture of the uncertainties in the data, especially with regard to the flight timing, wind speeds and directions, and the distinction between the "oscillations" and the "pressure bump".

The hair slide is truly the Holy Grail of the case at this point.Fitzpatrick asks how can we know if the FBI hair sample is Cooper's hair. If Gregory and others are correct and Cooper's hair was 'marcelled' or chemically treated in some way, then the FBI hair sample should show the same chemistry vs untreated hair. That at least tilts the statistics in favor of an identification. If Cooper applied anything to his hair then the chemistry of that treatment will be on all Cooper hair samples. It should also be on the seat head rest towel where Cooper sat. That chemistry identifies Cooper from all others, statistically.Hey .... glad to be back. Then we no more than turn around and DZ is back up ? Where this will end - who knows. I am glad to be back in any event. Thanks Dave.Here is the video of Dr. Colleen Fitzpatrick of the DNA Doe Project discussing the prospect of solving the Cooper case using DNA.
CC24 seems to have come off very well. Congrats to all. I am anxious to see any YouTube vids of the presentations ? Are there any ?

And the seat back rest towel is missing or gone? I could be wrong but didnt some crew member say Cooper was the only person who sat in 3E during the whole day's flight ? I will go back and look at the crew interviews ...
If Cooper's hair was treated chemically, there should be evidence/residue from that all over the place. On his hands, in his prints, on his cloths, his tie . . . the chemistry of that should be a 'light bulb' identifying Cooper from all others on the planet. He spent time in the bathroom. He may have touched or combed his hair? It should be on the match book covers. It could be on Tina and Flo. It hinges on Gregory's statements. Greased marcelled hair? Olive skin? Perhaps cosmetic. Or a preparation for jumping into wet cold weather that soldiers used to do ? Tom should be able to find it on the tie if it exists ? He touched the cabin telephone. Flo and Tina's uniforms should have been kept for evidence ...
