I finally got around to watching this, and I agree there was a leap (no pun intended) to a conclusion. Even if, they could show Cooper bounced on the stairs to throw off the search area, there is nothing that shows he jumped just outside of Reno. He could have jumped five minutes later, ten minutes later, any time. That part of the show was pure speculation.
The most interesting part was the chemicals on the tie. Again, we don't know someone else owned the tie at the time those chemicals got on the tie, but it gives a new place to look.
And, I thought Robert99 spoke just fine. Why did they think he needed subtitles?
