What has happened to everyone ?
This forum is gone MIA….. Just like Cooper !

I know, it's been very few posts lately. BUT - At the lower left corner of the home page, there's that 'users online' count, where it shows 'users' and 'guests'. Have I got that right, that means how many people are looking at the site at the moment? Normally, the 'guests' have been somewhere around 100, but lately it's been saying 600, 700, even 800. Does that really mean that there are several hundred people looking at the site at a given time? If so, who the hell are all these people??

At the moment there are 700+ "guests" on this site.  These people are not interested in the Cooper hijacking.  They are socialists and psychologists who are studying us.

Ted was a seasoned criminal. Ted was super qualified to do NORJAK. Ted needed money. Billy Waugh and many of Ted’s other military colleagues thought he was DBC. But where was he on Thanksgiving evening 1971? And how would you connect him to the tie particles? Such an appealing candidate. But nothing ties him to the plane.

revisiting the Beeson book

picture of the Dearbaugh family unit with Ted.. ...Ted is 2nd from left

"According to a family member, Ted's stepfather was extremely strict with him, much more so than with his own (biological) son. He would spank Ted and was very short with him. He was also very emotionally cold to young Ted. (Ted's nickname was Corky)

Bingo. Found out why Ted Jr listed Wolfe Lake Indiana on his WWII registration card with the fake 1925 birth year.

Wolfe Lake, Indiana was were his dad was born (Wolf Lake actually) in 1907

His dad was a tool and die maker. evidently died in 1961
I forget the details of the clip-on tie from the hijack, what was the earliest date it could have been manufactured?
Could the clip-on tie have been inherited from his dad's tie collection after his dad's death?

Ted Jr is mentioned in the obit. (with Galveston, Tex?)

The memorial though mentions Bruce Braden as her child..??? But Ted Braden isn't mentioned. He was dead by 2011 though.
Odd Ted is not mentioned in the memorial. He is linked as Family Member Spouse though.

ROBINSON ROSALIND BRADEN, Ed.D Age 85. Died peacefully December 13th 2011 surrounded by her family. Preceded in death by her loving husband George H. Robinson. Survived by her children Bruce Braden and Christine Blair, and beloved stepchildren Patricia Rodgers, Michael (Kathy), Diane Macki (Thomas), David Robinson, Ann Flynn (Craig), Russell Robinson, ten grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Memorial to be held at a later date. Contributions to Wayne State University theater program or Micheal J Fox Parkinson foundation.
Published in The Detroit News on Dec. 17, 2011

from that page is a picture of her provided by Mike Dearbaugh, when she attended Toledo University in 1948. This would have been around when she was with Ted Jr?

Half of me is thinking "John E. Braden" is a mistake.
But then I don't know where the mother's obit reference to Bruce Braden as a grandchild, comes from (why would that be included if it was from a Ted Sr. future marriage after her?)

Oh, what were the names of Ted's kids with his first wife?
Maybe the grandson came from that marriage
UPDATE: yes. see Rosalind Lauer Robinson's obit below

ROBINSON ROSALIND BRADEN... Survived by her children Bruce Braden
So was Bruce Braden the son of Ted Braden Jr, with Rosalind Lauer as the mother?
(I thought they had more than one kid?)


So maybe "John E. Braden" is a mistake ..not a Ted Jr. brother existing.

His mom's obit Mary Dearbaugh, age 88 was in the North County Times, 27 Dec 1997 Page 20

the Ted Jr. in question was referenced as "Ted Braden of Pennsylvania"

There is a reference to a list of grandchildren including "Bruce Braden of Detroit"

would this be the son of Ted Jr's brother ? have to investigate who Bruce Braden of Detroit is.
