Register or LoginI have never studied the supposed Cooper letters, is there any evidence that any of these letters contain information that only the hijacker or the FBI could have known (i.e. "you can keep the tie") or "sorry about the mess (regarding the broken-open parachute)" or something similar?

I assume most of the socalled Cooper letters are from cranks. That is one reason why LE officials are often reluctant to acknowledge them.
Kassin, a distinguished professor of psychology at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice found that people implicate themselves in important crimes, when there is something important lacking in their own lives. That includes vulnerable suspects or people who perceive they are of equal importance to actual suspects, teenagers and even adults who are processing fantasies, people with intellectual impairments or mental illness and a low self worth. These personality types are more likely to make false confessions, especially if they are under some pressure or seeking to prove themselves. Social media groups devoted to discussing particular crimes are likely to have these people join and post. Some even fantacize that solving a crime is important to their lives and self worth.
These people are often self-centered with a very low self esteem, vulnerable to suggestion, and looking for approval. Some of these people can be extremely aggressive - the smartest person in the room syndrome.

Yes, if you believe that Wolfgang Gossett was DBC. Wolfie supposed stashed the loot in a Vancouver, BC bank, according to his chullins. Hence, the Letter from Vancouver is important in that regard.
Yes, if you follow Al Di down his very large Rabbit Hole to discovered secondary and tertiary meanings, ala Petey and Vietnam references, plus the System to Beat the System ad in Playboy, etc...
No, for most everything that most folks would consider a straightforward NORJAK reference that only Coop would know.

That's a 'no' in my book.

Do we have writing samples from Sheridan Peterson?

I don't have one. His book annotations, which I saw but did not copy, did not look like the newspaper letter writing that some attribute to DB Cooper.
Just got back from a vacation in Spain. A three-week break from the Vortex. I have completed withdrawal but, like a hardcore junkie, have returned to stick the needle in once again.
Steel reeling from that jumpship crash in HI. I have made many jumps from that very aircraft. It was our jumpship at my home DZ at Byron CA until 2016 when it suffered a stall on jump run (pilot error) and rolled inverted into a spin. Fortunately, the jumpers managed to get out. Had they not exited, the aft of limits CG would have made spin recovery impossible. The pilot made several attempts to recover control and finally succeeded but overstressed the airframe in the pullout and ripped the right elevator and right horizontal stabilizer completely off of the aircraft. Miraculously, he was able to safely land the aircraft. I never dreamed that the twisted aircraft could be repaired and returned to service but it was. It was then ferried to HI. The ferry pilots were spooked by black smoke emerging from the instrument panel far offshore, but the problem resolved itself. The tragic crash may be unrelated to the prior major structural damage and repairs, but possible structural failure will surely be a focus of the investigation.

Welcome back 377. Your postings have been missed by myself and I suspect by many others. Hope the vacation went well. I can empathize with the addiction part. At least you shouldn't have any trouble finding a needle around here. (not sure how clean it will be though)
