Not buying it. The guy was obviously an idiot to do something like that, but even an idiot would have pieced that harness and chute and tossed it in a land fill. Plus, other than some of the money found in a river bank, the rest never showed up anywhere (all the serial numbers were recorded). So what was the point of it all? I suspect it was an FBI training op. It was so good it couldn't be solved. LOL. The big shots in the smoke filled room must have had a good laugh. Now, my dad kinda fit the description of Cooper and my mom thought it could have been him since he had the training, was the right age range, and had spoken about the disciplinary barracks at Ft. Cooper, hence D.B. Cooper. He disappeared from our lives in 61. However I highly doubt my father could have thought up something like that. He was stupid in my opinion because he did something really stupid that got him booted out of the Air force as he was nearing his 20 year mark. Really dumb. But a fun story to tell.
Your dad and mine must have been good friends. In 63-64ish dad was a Master Sargent teaching Judo to fighter pilots as an additional duty. A barely passing student pilot got mouthy and mad because dad kept putting him on the mat. With 14 years in he was told he could not re-enlist. The mouthy pilot was the son of a General. Dad walked out the door on Friday and walked back in as a Civil Service piston engine mechanic on Monday. After getting vetted, he joined an Air Guard E&I unit and was sent to Ground Radio School. Two years latter he was an instructor at the Army Signal School and milking the system two ways, Civil Service jobs were all mil time counted towards retirement and he got 30 days matching pay on any Guard deployments and 2 for 1 on monthly Unit Training Assembly's. He would do his 2 week annual field training and 4 weeks of an E&I install in Germany to burn all of the time. There was also the 2 days per month UTA's that counted as 4 retirement days. That gave him just over 5 months 2 weeks extra days towards retirement every year. Since he was a Signal School Instructor he was exempt from being sent to Vietnam. His German connections got him endorsements for promotion to SMSgt and then CMSgt. He retired Civil Service at 46 and spent maximum time active duty every year until they forced him out at 59.5 years old. He had 33 years active duty. In the late 80's he had a six figure retirement. He could have never have done that if he did his initial 20. He was a drunk and drank it all up...
So, the effbeeiers spent 4 hours looking for evidence at the home? Problem is, they spent 4 hours in Mrs. Cooper's lingerie closet and by that time could no longer smell any of the other evidence. Jay-edgar would be proud of his boys (and girls) for doing the most important things first.
Is someone that can let Josh Gates from Expedition Unknown know that would be great
ReplyDeleteBwahahaha
DeleteSad that the effbeei now have it all- it'll just disappear like everything else.
ReplyDeleteFBI: Sorry, parachute was stored together with the Epstein list and Hunter's laptop: we can't find it anywhere.
ReplyDeleteShow. Me. The. MONEY!
ReplyDeleteThere's something quite relaxing about sitting in front of the fire, watching the evidence burn.

ReplyDeleteBBBWWWWAAAHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAAAAA!
DeleteBut, of course!
DeleteI cannot image, even in the wildest whatever, why anyone would invite the FBI into their lives.
ReplyDeleteFBI typically does not NEED an invitation.
DeleteNo they do not. But, in this case they had one - called and invited to the family farm by the family.
