What? You think Tina is strange? Not talking to anyone about DBC for 30 years is strange. The Unsolved Mysteries show was filmed during her hiatus from talking. Her first appearance in front of a camera sine 1972 was 2016 - History Channel, Case Closed.

Now, it's Flo who ain't talking. She hasn't spoken to a journalist since 2008 or 2009. Last guy was GG.

As for Alice, she ain't talking to anyone, either, except for Galen Cook, and that was years ago - circa 2015.

No, no, no I do not think your darling Tina is strange Bruce.  I just find it strange that she did not appear on the show given she has been the more cooperative of the three throughout the years.  All be it Alice does not seem to be as important?  But what is strange is how different the sketch's are that each agrees with.  The one Flo says it looks like DB is far off the "Bing Crosby" sketch and the one with the sunglass's that we see so often.  I think I would trust Muckler far more, as Flo seems to have had a mental breakdown of sorts due to this event?  At least I have heard that mentioned.  She sure seemed to have it together on that show however.  Does anyone know where Flo is now?  I know she changed her name?  Likely married?  Somewhere in S Carolina I heard?  It would be nice if you guys could get her at the conference but Muckler would be far better IMO>

New video on YouTube by a Brit military guy.  He believes DB Cooper made it.  Did not perish in the jump.  He states the obvious, the body and the rest of the money and the bomb would have been found.  To me the bigger question is, IS HE STILL ALIVE?  I really hope he is.

Likewise any photos of these metal fixtures supposedly could be from a brief case that Josh Gates magically found under Ulis direction at Tina Bar - in Exp Unknown last night?

I distinctly remember something about an eyewitness claiming that Cooper had a distinguishing scar or mark on his arm or hand. I cannot find anything in my notes about it.

Can anyone here verify?

The only place I've seen it is in Max Gunther's book.  No idea where he got it from.  Kind of like Tosaw in a way.  These guys who wrote the early books did not have the 302's, so a  lot of it was good old fashioned journalism.  If it is somewhere else, I'd be curious as well to see it.  If it is true, then it likely came from Tina.  If so, that would be a great question to ask her.   Then again now that I think about it, Flo could have seen it too.  If it is true, then it could be a FBI "holdback."  Something they know but don't tell the public.  Like the tie.  I do wonder sometimes if the FBI still has holdbacks on this case.

The "scar" thingie was touted by Jo Weber. A scar on Duane's left hand, by the thumb, I believe. I know of no corroboration.

Upon further research, it seems that the first mention of an identifying scar in relation to DB Cooper was in a 1989 news article about List and was again mentioned 20 years later in articles about William J. Smith.

I don't think your note about scars and earliest mention is fully accurate. Maybe in terms of public discourse.

There are a number of suspects mentioned in the fbi files with scars noted. even tattoos. The suspects you mention weren't the only, nor earliest.

But every description of cooper says no scars or marks.

Yes, I was only referring to news articles. I haven’t looked into the 302s. However, you’re right, every description says no visible scars.

That said, in reading the articles, I get the sense that he did have some distinguishing scar that the FBI knows about but is keeping close to the vest as a way to eliminate suspects. No proof of this, of course. Just a sense from the wording in the articles.

there were lots of suspects in the 302s.

never a mention that someone was included or excluded based on scars, I think.
I don't think scars were any kind of "holdback"
no evidence of that.

Perhaps not, but both List and Smith used scars “which Mucklow saw” as evidence that they were Cooper. Again, these are newspapers articles and not FBI documents, but a curious detail nonetheless.
