Left,
I tend to be the ultimate skeptic and when I get excited about a theory, I try to prove myself wrong.
I don't think there is any way Weber is Cooper.
I can't find any reason why your guy isn't Cooper, and I have tried. The arguments against your guy being Cooper are less than convincing at best.
The side by side pictures that OD posted put the nail in the coffin for me.
The IE piece was very well done, although it was too short for me.
I am absolutely impressed with your work and it is a pleasure to correspond with you. I can't wait to buy your book.
The things I would like to see in your book are:
1) factual description of crime that expressly points out and clears up any misconceptions
2) actual portions of interviews from witnesses and law enforcement through the years
3)thorough background of Mayfield including pictures
4) new interviews with T or F where we learn their reaction to Mayfields pictures and video clips
Thanks for the endorsement AZLAW.
You are like most people on the net. They start skeptical, so, one really has to convince them of their suspect. I appreciate the honesty.
We do plan to address the items you mentioned in our book.
Like I said before, we spent 7 years doing this, and if we didn't think we had the right guy, we would have folded our hand long ago.
for example, when I found out about the armed robbery, I was convinced our case was over. He must have been in prison. But, I researched the case, and found out a lenient judge only gave him 5 years probation. OH, the 70's. That would never happen today.
Our book will explain the heist, why it happened in Portland, what triggered the event, and why the hijacker insisted on handing the note while on Portland soil, and why the hijacker insisted on getting money, chutes,etc, in Seattle, only to travel south again and jump over Portland.
Once we found out he lived across from the airport, we were finally able to figure out how he did it without an accomplice.
As for the jumpsite, I've always believed he had several jump sites in his plan. IF he missed the first, he would simply wait for the backup.
then, the final piece was making certain the FBI didn't suspect him. IF they had, I'm certain he would be on his way to Mexico or another destination. Even if captured, I'm sure his plan was to hide the 200,000 and have it for his family or when he got out of jail. who's to say if he was caught, that the FBI would be able to place him on that jet. Especially, wearing sunglasses, and being careful to get his ransom note back, and wiping his prints from his drink of bourbon and water. there is no doubt about it, he was, and is, still at war with the FAA, and the FBI. It is rather obvious, and he doesnt' try to hide it.
I'm glad you participated in this thread. I sure hope you do read our book, and if all goes well, hopefully, it will be out within a year.
thanks
