Here is the email he sent me last year...
Hi Dave,
In answer to your questions:
- I'm now aware there are not D-rings on the parachute he used, but was not aware of this in March when I wrote the article. This is OK, since I explained that he rigged a harness from suspension line for the money bag, so D-rings were not needed in this case as it turned out.
- I believe "DB Cooper" planted the money in the river bed (during late 1970's) as a way to "toy" with law enforcement and to spark media interest in the case once again.
Regarding the change in A/C handling that was used to determine the time he parachuted:
I talked to an individual on a number of occasions who I believe participated in the covert B-727 operations in SE Asia. He would answer all my questions except the direct question if he was a member of the covert group. His response to that question was that I, as an FBI agent, knew there are some classified matters that can't be discussed. Yes, he may have been feeding me a line of bull. Anyways, he did provide very, very detailed info on how the 727 responded during the rear exit events. Much but not all of his details I was able to corroborate during the past couple of years. To date, none of the info he provided that I tried to corroborate, has turned out to be incorrect. What I found most revealing was his being in agreement with my theory that the momentary change in A/C handling, used to identify the area believed as the drop zone, could have easily been staged as a diversion.
I hope this information is of some help to you.
