That was good research pal,enjoyed it very much.
McCoy was not Cooper.
• Their MO's were different: Cooper used a fake bomb whereas McCoy used a pistol and fake grenade.
• McCoy was threatening and intimidating toward the crew, pointing a pistol at them and yelling.
• McCoy’s photos were shown to all 10 eyewitnesses to Cooper and all 10 said it wasn't the same guy who hijacked their plane.
• McCoy had blue eyes
• McCoy didn't smoke (no one fake smokes). He ate candy during his hijacking due to his nerves...not smoking.
• McCoy was believed to have gone to his class at BYU on the MORNING of the hijacking.
• McCoy knew about Cooper so well because he wrote a term paper on Cooper in the spring of 72 (he was a criminal justice major)
• McCoy constantly bragged to friends about how he could do a skyjacking better than Cooper.
• McCoy's hair was microscopically compared to Cooper's hair that they recovered. It wasn't a match. FBI are confident they have Cooper’s palm print. McCoy’s was compared and was no match.
• Cooper spoke intelligentially and clearly with no accent. McCoy had a birth defect that gave him a lisp and he was from the south and possessed a southern accent. He had a high pitched voice. He was also a bit of a hillbilly. His voice was so odd that the pilots told the FBI that they thought he was disguising his voice. Turns out that was his actual voice.
• McCoy was an absolute nervous wreck during his hijacking and even left his ransom note in the airport terminal where he had been sitting and accidentally locked himself inside the bathroom and had to be let out by a stewardess.
• McCoy wore a disguise. Cooper, evidentially, did not.
• Cooper kept the passengers in the dark. McCoy did not.
• McCoy was seen the very next morning at 10am sitting on his couch by visitors to his house.
People aren't video game characters that are stuck in their designated path, the guy could've changed up his methods.
@@AngelRamirez-lp4nrOK, so what about all ten witnesses saying they were different people? What about McCoy having a high pitched voice with a severe speech impediment when Cooper's voice was described as "pleasant" and "low"? What about McCoy having to wear a bandaid on his face to cover up a scar when Cooper was wearing no bandaids and was described as having no marks on his face? What about McCoy being spotted the very next morning hanging out at his house? What about McCoy writing a research paper about Cooper? What about McCoy bragging to anyone and everyone that Cooper was dumb and that he could have done it better? What about McCoy having bright blue eyes and Cooper having brown eyes? What about McCoy not being a smoker yet Cooper was chain smoking Raleigh cigs on the flight? What about McCoy being a Mormon teetotaler and Cooper drinking bourbon on the plane? Good grief....c'mon. This really isn't complicated. If you're actually interested, I'd recommend going to my page and watching my video about McCoy. These guys were 100% different individuals.
@@ryancairns2099 Cheers buddy. Thanks for the reply.
@@dbcoopersleuth Hey Ryan, It really depends what photo of McCoy was shown to the witnesses! Was it the front on one with his big ears showing? Let’s be honest… The witnesses didn’t get a good look at Cooper front on, some got to see side on only, some with glasses on only so I wouldn’t take the witnesses word as gospel! In fact if the witnesses got a better look we would have had a much better sketch of Cooper and not the few oddly different ones without much detail over the years! Even Tina who spent time with Cooper says she can’t remember what he looked like that well! As for the MO I agree with the other comment here… You would change it up or better it for the next jump! (A non-smoker would smoke, a left hander would use right hand).In saying all that I still think McCoy is one of the better suspects but like all the suspects you’re 100% correct he has some things that don’t line up….. In my opinion Dennis Rader would never be a suspect for BTK which leads me to believe the real Cooper too could well have been some average guy we are yet to put forward as a suspect. McCoy, Braden, Reca, Weber… just seem more popular no matter how much you show that it can’t be them…. Everyone wants Cooper to be that cool military background guy that made it while it’s also just as possible he didn’t survive or was some average guy….
The money was found upstream on the beach of the suspected jump area landing site. The drainage of that area joins the river downstream of where the money was found. The money had to have been taken there or it came loose when he jumped and it floated in the air to that drainage area.
He lived in Utah for the first one. But after he did the second one the sister-in-law was his alibi for the first one because she didnt want her sister to go to jail
Great story and research.
Well told. Thanks!
In the 1973 Clint Eastwood movie “Magnum Force”… The detective Callahan kills a bunch of Hijacker’s by pretending to be the pilot! In the same movie another detective is named “McCoy” …Guessing the Cooper case influenced the writers of the movie with hijacker’s and key suspect McCoy.
Hey Dustin!!! We are headed to AZ now! We will be there for a week to just kinda di random adventures and we have that dinner at Goldfield on Friday the 15th We would love to meet you! We relisten to you when we drive the straight 24 hours! We've been watching for a while. :) Lacey and David
Love to meet up with you. When are you expecting to be in AZ? Are you staying around east Mesa or AJ area? Maybe we can meet up for dinner one of these upcoming nights.
@@portalofwisdom8858 we will be btwn prescott and chandler from tomorrow to next Sat!! Is there an email address I can send my and David's number to you!?
Are you two still around for a while? You never responded to my last message. I won't be at the event Friday night since that is my wife birthday. Will you be around on Saturday?
Everytime I respond all my comments are completely taken down. I sent a few with my email address.... and all my comments are deleted. Not really sure what's going on :/
Not sure where else I can contact you on but I will continue to check to see if my comments are deleted again. I'm starting to take screenshots lol! Idk why im being censored
Alright man, I gotta know. What's your take on billy the kid? Dead in Sumner, Hico, Arizona or somewhere else?
I think it is likely that Brushy Bill was actually Billy the Kid. He knew too much and was flushed out at the end of his life. He was not looking for notoriety, just trying to lay low when people came looking for him. I have 4 videos on Billy on my channel. Check them out, I go over a lot of details.
@portalofwisdom8858
I didn't realize. I'm definitely going to check those out.
I'm with you. it doesn't seem like he was after money. Another thing is that he was not seeking the governor to agree that he was btk. He was seeking a pardon. One that was promised. Seems odd to me that if he wasn't btk that he ask for a pardon for a dead man. Especially, since he lived his life already.
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
OJ did it😮
that whole area is forested even to the river maybe way back then it wasnt
Nope, not McCoy It was Rackstraw
Mccoy looks old and saggy...I don't think he is DB COOPER 😂😊
Forrest Fenn was D.B. Cooper
Forrest Fenn is actually George R. R. Martin. I seent it with my very own eyes
Dans the man !
