I can't find the video that I watched about five-eight years ago, either. What can I say?

OK lets bypass that.

Have you got a detailed timeline for Tina's life from the hijacking until she got out of the convent (1979?), if thats the correct date? For example I know she did new interview with the FBI in late 1971 (Dec 1/2) ... those crew interviews were in the Gray file release as I recall it ... which should be in the vault here?

The reason for mine above is I never have tried to build a timeline vita for Tina, and I now have new FBI docs which talk about Tina being willing (and wanting) to give a new in-depth interview in late 1971. That may be the last Mucklow interview Tina gave ?

And, for that matter do you have vitas for all the crew members?   

My vita for the crew are not nearly as extensive as those provided by others here and at the DZ.

But here is what I know:

1. Alice Hancock married a NWO pilot. They lived for many years in the Minneapolis, MN area. She was still there up until the time I spoke with her in 2014. She and her husband are now divorced. I don't know how long Alice worked for NWO. She hung up the phone on me when I called.

2. Flo married a cop named Wheeler and lives in South Carolina. The exact city is being withheld to protect her privacy. I don't know how long she continued to work for NWO. She refuses all communication with everyone I know who has attempted to contact her, including Jo Weber, Galen, and other writers.

3. Bill Rataczak, Scotty, and Andy Anderson all went on to become NWO 747 captains and have distinguished careers. Scotty died in the 1990s of cancer. Bill Rataczak has communicated with many journalists, but not with me since 2009. I understand from Ralph Himmelsbach, with whom he is good friends, that BR is in failing health. But he looked pretty good in the HC docu. Andy Anderson moved to Hawaii upon retirement, and all communications with him there have failed.

Here's the timeline I have for Tina:

1. December 5 (?), 1971. Second interview with FBI agents in Philly. She specifically says that Cooper asked for 200,000 in "cash."

2. 1971- 1973, circa. Continues to fly for NWO and even rooms with Flo with regularly. Basically, she resumes her pre-hijacking life.

3. 1973-1974, circa. Meets her husband at NWO. Name withheld upon request.

4. 1974-1975, circa. Marries her husband and they move to the Bay Area. It is my understanding that she stopped working for NWO at this time, or worked only intermittently.

5. 1975-1976, circa. Marriage ends and Tina moves to San Diego with Jane and Lee Dormuth. In the 2005-2010 period Galen conducted an extensive interview with Tina's now ex-husband, who made it clear he does not want to talk with any media.

6. 1976-1978, circa. No information.

7. 1978-1979, circa. Tina hospitalized at the Lutheran Hospital and Home in Gresham, Oregon. The stay is lengthy, months, possibly a year. The facility is now known as the  Good Samaritan Society.

8. Spring, 1979, Tina is taken by Lee and Jane to the Carmel of Maria monastery in Green Hills, Oregon, just outside of Eugene.

9. Tina stays at the monastery, actually a cloistered convent for women, until 1991, circa.

10. 1985, circa. Interview with Richard Tosaw in the convent.

11. 1990, circa, phone interview with Russ Calame.

12.  1991-1992, Tina rumored to stay in the Eugene, OR area and attends college.

13. Mid-1990s, begins working as an activity therapist in a psych facility, where she continued to work until 2011 by my knowledge. I do not know if she continues to work there.

14. 2014, circa, moves from her long-time home in Springfield, OR, where I spoke with her briefly in 2011, to a new residence in central Oregon.

15. 2012, Participated in an interview with Paul Neveel, a freelance journalist and professional photographer working for the Eugene Weekly. In the interview Tina refuted almost this entire timeline. In the interview she claims to have flown regularly for NWO throughout the 1970s until her retirement ten years after the hijacking, presumably 1981, and during that time she mostly flew NWO routes to the Orient. Then she went into the convent for personal reasons, leaving in the early 1990s.

Neveel told me that one of her stipulations to doing the interview was to not ask about DB Cooper at all. Also, no mention of her hospitalization was made at all by either party.

Interesting tidbit: When Tina lived in Springfield her home was near the Willamette River. Directly across the river - on a thoroughfare known as "River Road" just north of Tina - resided LD Cooper in the last years of his life. Hence, LD Cooper died just a few miles away from Tina.

Most of the timelines mentioned here I learned from Galen, and bits and pieces of it were corroborated by the folks in Tina's orbit that I spoke with, such as the Mother Superior at the convent - Sister Saint-Onge - cousin Arlene Mucklow in Philly, Jane and Lee Dormuth, the folks associated with the Lankenau School for Girls in Philly where Jane and Tina went to high school, Bill Rataczak, and the HR staff at the Good Samaritan Society.

Howdy, everybody.

I've been looking at the Cooper case as something so flawed that must be taken back to formula, so to speak, so please excuse some of the basic questions I tend to post at times. One of the things that stands out is that none of the sources that I have found have actually detailed the FBI search of the plane. I have read many times that agents found the tie, magazines, drink glass, et cetera, and that they "searched the plane" for Cooper.

Has anybody here read a full description or checklist of places onboard the plane where they searched for people or explosives? For example: "We entered through the rear stairs, cleared the lavatories, then the cabin row-by-row, proceeded on to the cargo areas..."  All I get is vague statements, like, "The FBI searched the plane and Cooper was gone." Geoffrey Gray's documents touch on it a little bit, mentioning compartments where he doubtfully could have hidden, but has anyone seen anything more complete?

Results were negative. I believe the toilets were drained and contents examined also.
