Suspects And Confessions

Agents who agree with you are smart, while the ones that don't are stupid.

The more the evidence does not support McCoy, the more convinced you are that he's the guy.
Those are novel approaches. You might have better luck just stalking the daughter on social media.

Here's an old article referencing little know Cooper suspect Bob Huddleston. Below is the pertinent part:
"The two men were poker-playing buddies. Sitting in a bar one night in 1984, Rizzo said, he confided to Huddleston that he was a fugitive wanted by the FBI for counterfeiting.
Huddleston replied with his own confession: He had skyjacked an airplane in 1971.
Rizzo said he kept the secret until after Huddleston died in 1986 of an aneurysm brought on by a cocaine overdose at age 52. Rizzo told the FBI his tale. An autopsy of Huddleston revealed his legs were covered with scars, which Rizzo says were caused by the jump from the plane.
Rizzo said Huddleston gave him this account:
After plunging from the plane, he landed near a river, in a tree about 10 feet above the ground, where a sharp limb punctured his knee and ribs. The weather was so bad his shoes blew off, and ice and sleet coated his arms and back.
The strap that held the money tore, and that's how he lost the packet later found by the child on the riverbank. He crawled to a cave and later hitchhiked to Portland, where he spent months recuperating before eventually moving to San Diego.
He hid the money until 1978, when he took it to an Indian reservation in Montana to be laundered. When he returned to San Diego, he kept it stashed in the taillight of an old Cadillac.
Because he was constantly fearful of running into someone from the flight who would recognize him, he often changed his appearance, growing a beard and shaving his head, then growing a mustache and wearing a long ponytail.
Rizzo said Huddleston once said: "In the back of my mind, one day I'll be sitting on a bus, in a bar, and look into the face of the only person who could identify me. I'll see that stewardess. I know she will never forget my face."
Huddleston told Rizzo he'd bought the airline ticket under the name Don — his real middle name, not Dan — and was amused that the FBI went searching for a Dan Cooper.
"He was a James Dean type, a daredevil," Rizzo said. "This is not a story I could make up, but the FBI's never going to prove it."

Chaucer, do you really have to repost nonsense such as this?
Chaucer:
Yes.

Wonderful! If some strange force in nature or your psyche forces you to post it, perhaps you could enlighten me a bit on the logic in this tale.
Rizzo, a fugitive wanted by the FBI for counterfeiting, went to the FBI after Huddleston's death and ratted him out as being Cooper. I'll bet that there is something on page 1 of the FBI Manual related to interviewing informants that says the informant must be and will be vetted. So Rizzo would be the village idiot if he went to the FBI in the first place. And if he walked out of that interview a free man, then the interviewing agent would be just as dumb. But I am willing to bet that no such interview ever happened.
Huddleston allegedly stated that he lost the money packets that were later found at Tena Bar when he landed in a tree. Gravity would have deposited those packets on the ground underneath the tree he landed in. All he would have to do is pick them up. Also, there are no caves in the Tena Bar area for him to crawl to. But he could have easily crawled to the marina in the channel between Caterpillar Island and the mainland and perhaps the great Amazon of DropZone fame would have assisted him. That marina is where she kept her boat and lived on it.
Other such questions can be raised.
Chaucer, did your PhD program have a lecture or two on identifying bs, beer talk, and fairy tales?
