Register or LoginThe difficulty, DF, is that Tina is not only the primary witness to the DB Cooper skyjacking, she seems to have unique and valuable information no one else can provide. Unfortunately, Tina's recent behaviors add suspicion to her and her statements. Slamming doors in reporter's faces is not the way to engender trust or belief in her statements. Nor is cherry-picking details from her life to share with the reporters she does choose to engage.
Yes, I agree, inquiries must be conducted in a manner that is not "harassing" to Tina. But Tina is now a public persona. Besides being the FBI's chief witness, she volunteered to appear in a lengthy History Channel docu and a HBO production. Plus, she agreed to a full-length interview in Rolling Stone, and of course, her short piece in the Eugene Weekly back in 2012.
I agree, Tina must be exhausted by the Norjak media circus. I would be extremely frustrated by those who continued to champion Richard McCoy after I and the FAs had dismissed him as a Cooper suspect back in 1972. That's 49 years of not being listened to, nor believed. Whew....
I got the sense in talking with Bill Mitchell that the FBI takes advantage of folks like Tina and Bill. Instead of working diligently to investigate suspects, they seem to just grab up a daily stack of pix and dance over to Tina and Bill and say, "Are any of these guys Cooper?" In effect, many FBI agents seem to want the witnesses to do the heavy lifting. They shoved 1,500 pix in front of Bill over the years. They couldn't have done a better job of vetting the suspects?

So the takeaway is: this is a personal contest/feud between you and Tina Mucklow ... and the FBI.
So far as I can find, you were not a part of the original DB Cooper hijacking. You arent mentioned in the case by anyone. You have inserted yourself. Why should Tina Mucklow have to deal with any of that or you? When and how did the DB Cooper hijacking become about Bruce Smith, and why? Aren't you extraneous to the whole matter? ;)

I totally get what Georger is saying in the post below this one where he says you are not part of the actual investigation. But you have spent much of your life on this. Tina does not care about that however. So you obviously cannot be the one to try and approach her. It would be like sending Hoover after Dillinger. I a knee jerk analogy. It HAS TO BE A WOMAN. She is going to respond to a woman in a manner where she is not ready to slam the door. But the woman will have to be clever and assure her she will not betray her confidences. I would recruit a woman with very high knowledge of the case to approach her. She is going to be suspicious of course of anyone that she does not know. Too bad one of those sisters from the convent she joined was not up to speed on this? You guys know the players better than I . You need a woman to approach her. Have her ask "would you not at least be interested if he survived the jump that night and if he were still alive? After all, he was very nice to you, and I doubt he ever was going to kill you or your co workers. " Now we know Flo Schaffner wants no part of this, and she may be tougher to crack than Mucklow, but she is not as valuable as Tina. Not sure about the other one. But I doubt DB cares much about her. Tick Tock. The clock is near midnight Bruce

I have looked everywhere and I have only found fakes and reproductions.
Does anyone know where I could buy an authentic DB Cooper wanted poster from 1971/72?

Interesting pursuit, Chaucer.
