Was a joke...Eric's latest news...?

So I am watching this show on YouTube that is based on Richard Floyd McCoy being DB Cooper.  Some of them are hell bent it was him.  It sure looked like a copy cat job but they said he could not have known that DB wrote the demands on the same type of form McCoy used?  I wonder how he could have made it to Vegas but I guess he could have gotten a ride or had a car hidden had he made it out of the woods quickly.  A bit of a tall order given the weather.  So do you all have evidence that it could not have been him?

So this show says 4 weeks ago but much of it is from the show with the late Robert Stack from Unsolved Mysteries.  So it was perhaps put together recently?  By some other nobody fly by night that wants a piece of the action.

witnesses dissqualified McCoy. No hard evidence could connect him. Simple as that.

Much of the "evidence" connecting McCoy to the crime in the Rhodes/Calume book was straight-up fabricated. Cooper did not have typewritten notes on cards, there was no BYU pin found on 305, the tie did not and COULD NOT have belonged to McCoy. McCoy WAS at his home on Thanksgiving, friends of the family put him there at 10am Thanksgiving day. Rhodes and Calume say they had 20+ connections to the case, but I only ever found eight in the book itself, and most were simply caused by the fact it was a copycat crime. The McCoy nonsense needs to be put to rest forever.

McCoy was not Latin   ........ in any form!

I don't think McCoy was Cooper, but I do believe McCoy was in Las Vegas on Thanksgiving Day - at least in the evening when he made a collect phone call to his home in Provo. Calame had the documents on that, and I believe him.

The Big Question is: What was Rick doing in Vegas?

Rick was in Vegas for two days in early November.

Marty, I'd love to see those 302s that indicate McCoy was with a  bunch o' buddies in Vegas. I hadn't heard of that before. Could you send me a link or something? Thanks -

I’m once again humored by your comment about the weather ! You said “ A bit of a tall order considering the weather “. I’ve lived in Portland most of me life. I delivered mail in Portland for 28 years always an outdoor walking route ! I lived in Portland on Nov 24, 1971. The weather that day was as typical normal as it could possibly have been. Check the weather report for that day ! There was NO snow or ice ! There was NO strong wind ! The temperature was exactly within the typical temperature for that day !The precipitation was like .19 !  Don’t get fooled and caught up in a bunch of BS stories ! I remember the day well ! The FBI probably would love to exaggerate the weather as a fierce stormy day as their inability to solve the crime is embarrassing to them ! They want him dead in the jump !

I made it a point to be in Portland/Vancouver in mid-November 2009 (I think it was) to see what the weather was like.  As I remember it, the temperature was in the mid-40s ever day and night, and it rained off and on ever day I was there.

Kermit and Haggar are right, there is nothing in the actual measured weather data to suggest that it was stormy during the hijacking.
