General Questions About The Case

<< < (536/677) > >>

DBfan57:
I wonder why she is so hell bent on avoiding the DB Cooper case when she is a major player?  I am sure she has been offered money for book deals and such?  Its just frustrating to see people act like this.  I feel bad for you Bruce having had doors slammed in your face and being called every name in the book by the guy who packed Coopers chute and was then whacked.  Your gathering evidence and you get treated like a villain.  This case is a big deal just like Alcatraz and the Ripper case and JFK and a bunch more.

Bruce A. Smith:
Avoidance of the media is one of the mysteries of this case, imo.

Of all the people who have dodged me, only Ralph Himmelsbach told me why- he wanted to be paid for an interview.

Florence Schaffner seems to be one of the few on that plane who were truly spooked by what DB Cooper did.  If you watch her on Unsolved Mysteries, she still seems very serious.  That was around 1987.  I've read that she was shaken up by the whole incident, even looking for bombs under cars (although I may be mixing her up with Tina on this one).  Flo is in her 70's now, and at that age people tend to get more fearful of bad things happening.  She was probably pestered through the years too.  I believe her husband is former law enforcement too.  I'd be surprised if we ever hear anything from her again.  But, some of us never expected Bill Mitchell to speak out again, yet he did recently.

haggarknew:
Maybe it wasn't such a victimless crime, as it is often portrayed as. It obviously affected Flo and Tina for years to come.

Bruce A. Smith:
Still does. Tina's husband was angry but weary when he told me that he and Tina were followed by FBI agents in the mid-1970s. Alan is married nowadays and has an active family with kids, so he is very reluctant to talk about Tina and "the past."
