General Questions About The Case

<< < (417/677) > >>

Shutter:
Actually, the witnesses who knew who Cooper was (the stews) had very similar descriptions. it's the passengers all over the board because they had to recall someone they had no clue was a hijacker. I tend to go by the description vs the sketch.

Typically, bank robberies, and everyday crimes last seconds to minutes and the witnesses are in shock. this case is entirely different from typical crimes. the crew spent hours with Cooper. the passengers did as well but had no clue what was going on and didn't need a reason to recall Cooper.

The stews were trained for things like this. that doesn't mean they wasn't scared but have a bit of an edge over the passengers with descriptions. it's really hard to make someone 5' 8" 6 feet tall. one of the passengers never seen Cooper standing..

Shutter:
I could ask you when coming out of a store what people looked like in the line you were in and it will probably be off. now, how good of a description do you think you would get being held hostage for several hours. just sitting there watching the suspect? a step further I would wonder what the description would be if you got out of the the store prior to the hold up and the guy was right behind you?

Parrotheadvol:
Sketches can be off, but not always. I watched a program on the Golden State Killer the other day and some of those early sketches were spot on. So I wouldn't put a lot of weight on the sketch, but I wouldn't just assume it isn't accurate either. As Shutter said, the three stews descriptions were pretty close and I'd put a lot of weight on those. Some suspects, and Kenny is a fine example of this, can be eliminated based on several different things.

As usual, I am full of questions!

1, Did anyone see Cooper through a plane window from the outside of the plane?
2. Did the official who went on the plane wanting to talk to Cooper get a glimpse of him?
3. Any witness reports from people waiting to board the plane with Cooper?
4. NWA counter descriptions where Cooper got the ticket?
5. Any tv footage of Cooper, even a glimpse?
6. Anyone get a glimpse of Cooper through their rifle scopes?
7. Were any security cameras filming the parking lot or inside the airport?
8. How large were his hands - any description of his hands/finger nails?
9. (nobody reported large ears in proportion to his head)
10. . . .     

Bruce A. Smith:
All good questions.
