1. 377, you are as cynical of criminal justice as, um, I am..
2. I asked Galen what he thought of Lepsy and Nimi. Here's his answer:

"Tell him to get in line.  Lars Larson, radio host in Portland, did a complete show on Richard McCoy."

McCoy? Now that's a golden oldie.

BTW: I wonder if Lars Larson knows Lars Skoland, our benefactor with Moriarty and Reichenbach?

  It sounds like things have calmed down a bit.  That's good news.  The Lepsy story has exceeded all expectations and is still getting a lot of attention out there.  this is great news for all of us.  Another positive aspect of the story is Vicki's father was mentioned and his face was seen by millions.   

   I just want to stress that I'm not saying Robert Richard Lepsy is D.B.Cooper.  My book is entitled "Still Missing: Rethinking the D.B. Cooper Case and other mysterious unsolved disappearances".  I mention a couple times in the book that I'm not saying that Lepsy is Cooper, and that I'm merely pointing out physical similarities between Lepsy and Cooper, and that the skyjacker may not have survived the jump.  Another story in the book is about my friends parents, who disappeared in their Cessna in 1977.  It's really a sad tale.

I'm sorry if the attention Robert Richard Lepsy is getting is upsetting some folks, that was not my intention.  I just wanted to put his story out there and let people compare his image to the Cooper sketches.  This will all blow over soon and everything will get back to normal around here.   

Ross -- anything that brings new interest to the DB Cooper case is a good thing.  There is no such thing as bad publicity as they say.

We also have a documentary coming out on the History Channel early next year that some on this forum have been interviewed for, so that's more publicity.

Everything that's happened in the past week has been good. Both cases getting national and international exposure. Dick Lepsy's disappearance had literally -- disappeared (completely and totally forgotten about until Ross started digging, and Lisa submitted her DNA sample and added her dad to NamUS in 2011). Today, it's connected to one of the most mysterious disappearances of the 20th century!! Lepsy will now be forever linked to Cooper, and if that ultimately brings leads to the Lepsy case that prove he wasn't Cooper, so be it, because Lisa has lived 46 years with absolutely no answers!! Maybe Ross will get more leads, and some evidence will evolve.

If that happens, Wzzm and I will be there for a follow-up!!

The beauty is nobody can eliminate Lepsy as a Cooper suspect. NOBODY! He disappeared 23 months before the Cooper skyjacking and nobody can account for his whereabouts or what happened to him. Oh, Lepsy matches every element of the Cooper physical description.

There's no evidence to connect him to Cooper, but at the same time, he can't be eliminated as a Cooper suspect - yet.

And, we have Lisa on tape saying, "that's dad!"

... and so it goes.

I love how the old files on Lepsy have disappeared. My kind of story.

Ah, the circularity of the commentary, too!  I love how the Vortex swirls in the sunlight...."best suspect" becomes "can't prove he's not DB Cooper."

And:

"There's no evidence to connect him to Cooper, but at the same time, he can't be eliminated as a Cooper suspect..."

Sublime.

Storyteller, you may have found a real home here in Cooper Country. Did you pack a bag?

Lepsy's name is officially out there. Hopefully there's still somebody alive in Grayling, Michigan who knows something. Hopefully the FBI looks at him, if they haven't already. Hopefully the Wzzm story has legs for a while.

Georger  You say: "And not one Latin guy in the bunch, as per Flo's assessment! 3 bundolas?  Ohhhh so lo mio!  So what are the ethnicities of these guys on the list? Swede. Norwegian. ??  We've got everything and the kitchen sink but no Latin.  Someone come up with a Latin guy, plee uz.  "

I say: Peterson had olive complexion and of Greek background. Is that Latin enough for you?

Lepsey, LD Cooper, bring em on. ANY publicity about the DB Cooper case is good. Interest will die if the embers are not fanned occasionally.
