Yup.

Also, what is the orange/pink parachute that is in the FBI's "Gallery." I've seen it in a lot of places, and usually associated with the Amboy chute, as I recall.

that was the reserve Cooper cut up.....

Dona from the Ariel Tavern also said she knew where the chute was found...she gave the name of the road and said it was the last house or something like that...it's online somewhere...

I find it strange that after all these years nobody has come forward to tell the story....

I stayed completely away from this ... Blev was involved. Once the event happened I am sure people just wanted no publicity and return to normal...

Bobby B was not involved in this foray. Just Meyer and Me. In fact, it was our second trip to Ariel together. The first did involve RMB, who video recorded an interview with me, along with Dona chiming in from the background as she prepared for the Cooper Daze festivities.

Ahhhh. Thank you. That explains a lot, and clears up my confusion. Mucho gracias.

a lot of tree covering the area...two possible sites with hills and garbage....

Thanks, Shut. This photo is very important. Meyer and I were at the upper-most property, seen circled on the upper left-hand side. We never toured the property, so I never saw the trash pile in the rear. We only talked to "Diane" in her driveway.

The second property should be investigated, though.

I wish they would search this chute & cords for touch DNA. I think the only way for him to really cut those cords would have been to grab them and hold them tight in his hand while he cut.

The chute was a cargo chute...even the markings on it were consistent with a cargo chute..it was 32 feet in diameter..no reason to do any testing on the chute...a lot of chutes sold had the lines already cut on them prior to selling so they can't be used as a parachute..a personnel chute has a lot more information on the canopy..no human life is lost if a cargo chute fails so limited information is printed on the canopy..

Cossey did more than a 10 second evaluation..when you are qualified to do something you can quickly rule things out..I deal with aluminum and can tell you in 3 seconds if something is made of aluminum...

It's too late to do any testing on the reserve chute...too many hands have touched the lines...

I tried to fix your post but couldn't...that's why you will see my name under edit...

If I can get the gas money, I'll be heading down to Amboy in the next week or two to check on these properties, plus head down to LaCenter if time permits to snoop around coffee shops and diners to see what the story is with the Colbert-Rackstraw digging that went on there a year ago.

Good choice. They claims to have found Cooper evidence, Yeti evidence, and remains of the Voyager probe ? Please check on those.

40 bucks or so. I'm working on an angle where the costs might be shared. Might also go up to Yacolt, where Tom McDowell is. He's the guy who led the ground search.

I think I'm good, Shut. Thanks, though. Let's save the gas money for another time.

Make note of the Railway which goes right through the Town.
