She claims he tried using the knife to cut either the portions of the container or the parachute vs using the "white bank-type bag"

He already had one chute open and attempted to use it to carry the money. Tina stated the color being bright pink or orange. why would he open another chute very similar doing basically the same thing?

This is where I think some errors were made in the reporting.

Tina said she saw him wrap the money in a "white material." That has to be the dummy reserve.

The references to the pink canopy could mean he tried to wrap the money in the pink canopy first, then tried again with the white canopy. Or, much more likely, DBC merely opened up the functional reserve with the pink canopy for the purposes of cutting out shroud lines, and he opened up the dummy reserve to wrap up the excess money and attache case, but somehow these two events got blended together in the reporting.

The 302's also state that she saw him trying to fit the ransom in the reserve. This cannot be accurate. I know this cannot be accurate because the size difference between the ransom bag and the reserves is significant. You can clearly see that there is no way in hell the ransom is going to fit within either reserve. Therefore, what she saw was DBC putting "some" of the ransom into the reserve. Not "all" of the ransom.

Her second interview states he was irritated the money was not in a knapsack and trying to put it in a unfolded parachute he decided to leave it in the canvas bag..he wrapped the canvas bag with pink cord...

That's correct. However, I believe she saw him putting some of the ransom in the unfolded parachute, not the entire package.

Yes, it's obvious he probably tried many ways to utilize the chute and failed..opening a second chute to repeat the process makes no sense.

what kind of knapsack was it he wanted? one that is secured to the back? if so, it suggests he was going to use the front chute.

what did knapsacks look like in the 70's? basically the same as a backpack...

The bank where the money came from describes the bag as white. the bag was pushing it already since it wasn't what Cooper requested. I feel he would of rejected it if it wasn't able to close. I recall Tina saying a cloth bank type bag giving no color..one witness stated off white.

Reading the statement with Tina also has this "she dragged a white canvas money bag down the isle"

Why does the dummy chute have to be used for the money..the chute fooled Emerick.

What did Cooper do different to the dummy chute that couldn't be done to a chute already taken apart. the only way would be to pull the cord..

Define "unfold"

Other witnesses describe the bank bag as approximately 1' X 2'. Additional things also suggest the Size H canvas bank bag was used--it was standard.

Tina said she saw DBC wrapping the ransom in a "white material." What other white material could she be talking about other than the dummy reserve canopy? Especially when you consider that DBC took the dummy reserve.

"Unfold" means that DBC opened up the dummy reserve and spread out the canopy and used it to bundle up the excess packets of twenties and the attache case. DBC then would have used shroud lines to tie up this bundle too--remember he can also use the shroud lines from the dummy reserve itself. Note, the container for the dummy reserve is not a container per se. Rather. it's essentially a flat canvas sheet that folds up around the canopy when packed.

In all probability, the container for the dummy reserve was a standard reserve container and identical to the one that was left on the airliner.  If it was just some kind of canvas sheet, then anyone at the skydiver location should have been able to recognize it as not being an operational reserve.

Please post or reference these 302s you are referencing.

Example of format:  D.B. Cooper Part 48 of 48-036 1976 conference 

Release Part = 48
Page in Part 48 = 36
Subject =  1976 San Francisco conference

Not sure how they are put into 302's...it's statements from Tina's interview which is different from the standard 302..she recalls the chutes in both interviews..
