From Wikipedia:

"Coffelt was a conman, ex-convict, and purported government informant who claimed to have been the chauffeur and confidante of Abraham Lincoln's last undisputed descendant, great-grandson Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith. In 1972 he began claiming he was D.B. Cooper, and attempted through an intermediary, a former cellmate named James Brown, to sell his story to a Hollywood production company. He said he landed near Mount Hood, about 50 miles (80 km) southeast of Ariel, injuring himself and losing the ransom money in the process. Photos of Coffelt bear a resemblance to the composite drawings, although he was in his mid-fifties in 1971. He was reportedly in Portland on the day of the hijacking, and sustained leg injuries around that time which were consistent with a skydiving mishap.[124]

Coffelt's account was reviewed by the FBI, which concluded that it differed in significant details from information that had not been made public, and was therefore a fabrication.[125] Brown, undeterred, continued peddling the story long after Coffelt died in 1975. Multiple media venues, including the television news program 60 Minutes, considered and rejected it.[126] In a 2008 book about Lincoln's descendants,[127] author Charles Lachman revisited Coffelt's tale although it had been discredited 36 years before."

Sure wonder what undisclosed info the FBI uses to check Cooper confessor stories.

If the suspect was still breathing after 8:20 PM, November 24, 1971, then there is no way on God's Green Earth that he could be D.B. Cooper. ;D  Of course, that is just my opinion based on all of the believable evidence. 8)

information that had not been made public

This is where the truth comes out for the FBI, and the people with suspects fail to understand..

Disentanglement of the LGBT lexicon:

Public information officer (PIO) - Wikipedia
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
Public information officers (PIOs) are the communications coordinators or spokespersons of certain governmental organizations (i.e. city, county, school district, state government and police/fire departments). Example: SA Dorwin Schreuder was appointed the PIO* Public Information Officer for NORJAK at the Portland Office until his retirement circa 1993. The primary investigation of NORJAK was conducted in the Seattle FBI office. Dorwin had no investigative management duties in the NORJAK case. Dorwin's specialty was "Negotiator and Negotiations" especially in hostage and active criminal scene negotiations.   ***Can anyone provide a public statement Dorwin made in NORJAK while he was assigned the Portland PIO (for NORJAK), outside of his one interview during the excavation at Tina Bar? 

Principle Investigative officer PIO - Wikipedia
Under the supervision and guidance of the Division Manager, the Principal Investigation Officer  will: Undertake and/or lead investigations into allegations of a crime or fraud and corruption case, commensurate with an internal agency investigation.

SAC Special Agent in Charge:
SAC - Special Agent in Charge (FBI) ASAC - Assistant Special Agent in Charge (FBI)
At the management level, the head of a region or office might be called a special agent in charge, abbreviated as an SAC or SAIC. The Deputy Special Agent in Charge (DSAC), acts as the operational manager for investigations and typically supervises Assistant Special Agents in Charge (ASAC's).

Really glad to see TC is still active on sleuthing NORJACK. He must have spent a fortune. His Rackstraw book has been quite successful (I recommend it) but I bet the profits amount to only a tiny fraction of his expenses.

There are some contradictions in the Rackstraw story that don't make sense to me, like allegedly throwing $50,000 away to make it look like he cratered and subsequently writing letters to newspapers that claim he is alive and contain coded clues to his identity. One of TC's endorsers, a psychologist, says it is typical narcissistic personality behavior.

Hope Tom is successful in his efforts to get a documentary made. If he can get Rackstraw to confess on camera, it will be huge. Rackstraw is a clever con man. If he can figure out how to safely profit from his notoriety he might finger himself as Cooper, whether true or not.

ANYTHING that keeps DB Cooper in the public eye is good in my view. A Blevins Kenny movie is just fine with me and I wish him luck.

There are so many interesting candidates. Sheridan Peterson has led a fascinating life. So has Bob Rackstraw. Ted Braden too. Duane, not so much, unless you believe Jo's account that he was a tech-savvy, jump trained, covert spook double triple agent operative.

I don't think KC was DBC and I've told that to Robert Blevins. But ANY publicity about DBC is good. Most young people have no idea who DB Cooper was. Movies, documentaries, books, YouTube videos can keep the legend alive. If Cooper is forgotten, someone could come upon relevant evidence and have no idea that it is important. Imagine if the T bar money had been found and not publicized. Imagine someone finding the missing chute and discarding it thinking it was old worthless junk. Keeping the legend alive has a purpose.

I agree that it's good to keep the Cooper story in the public eye. But I don't want to see anyone have success, and profit from making a false accusation. Robert is obviously wrong about Kenny. Not only is he wrong, he isn't honest in the way he presents Kenny. He still sells a book with known false information. He posts comments on Youtube videos that have false information, but don't bother to correct the false information. He has admitted that he posts info about Kenny on Wikipedia. But, yet Wikipedia still says that Kenny paid cash for his house. He left a video up on youtube saying the same thing for several months after the truth was known. He only took it down when I gave him hell about it on DZ. I wish him nothing but the best in his other ventures, but I hope he has zero success with the Kenny movie. I believe Colbert is way wrong as well, but at least his suspect is alive to defend himself.

The Blevins and Jo Weber type of publicity only adds more disinformation to the DB Cooper matter.  And that disinformation becomes a "fact" for each new person who passes this way.

Bruce Smith probably agrees with your thinking since his book contains, among other myths, the claim by Captain Bohan that he landed in Portland a few minutes after the hijacked airliner passed by and encountered surface winds so strong that he had problems landing.  The actual recorded weather for that evening was that the winds were never more than about 10 MPH.  No one, from the newest student pilot to any airline pilot, should have had a problem landing in that wind.

What ever happened to Dan Cryder? He was gonna solve the case for us on Dropzone. He promised a name and then flaked out.

He is a long time skydiver and very famous in DC 3 circles, owning and flying a very nice example. I think he is the only operator in the US offering type rating instruction in the DC 3.

Isn't it amazing that a transport plane from the mid-1930s can still make a living in certain nooks and crannies of air commerce in 2018? Almost no Boeing 707s still fly (although closely related USAF KC 135s still do) and working 727s are getting rare, yet many DC 3s remain in use.
