My newest YouTube video.
So, you say Cooper's biggest TELL, as in a poker tell, is he did not have luggage. From that you deduce he planned to jump near Seattle in order to change his clothes which you say is a necessity, he had a motel room room waiting at Seattle where he could perform essentials like changing his clothes, etc etc all at Seattle. Since Cooper used a hair stylist and no luggage, what Seattle hair stylist did he use at Seattle? Would that Seattle hair stylist remember Cooper's name? All because Cooper had no luggage and needs to change his clothes and style his hair after the hijacking?
"Tells" only have value if they are reliable predictors of behavior, say as a signal when a player has a good vs bad hand. Cooper wore loafers. Was that a "tell" ?
Tells are a real thing. Ask any professional poker player whether they're real or not. I've often thought that a degree in psychology would be enormously helpful at a poker table.
I'm not sure how the hairstylist thing enters into the discussion here. Nonetheless, there are things that Cooper did and said that offer bright spots of inquiry into the investigation. Indeed, some may consider his use of the name "Dan Cooper" a tell as it pertains to the comic book. As for me, I do not believe there is any correlation with the name Dan Cooper and the comic book. On the other hand, I do find it intriguing that the name Dan is an abbreviated version of Sheridan, as Pete is an abbreviated version of Peterson which Sheridan has used his entire life.
In a week or so I'll release another YouTube video on a second DB Cooper "tell" that I think is critically important.
