2/ I've worked this case for several years. Our cold case team incl experts in law, law enforcement, forensics, cryptology, journalism & other relevant areas. First hand witnesses were interviewed & we were regularly in touch with @FBI.
3/I had no idea @TheHisotry was producing program. No one connected to it reached out to our cold case team, which was more than 40 people.

There are many theories abt hijacking & I was surprised they didn't contact us if only to compare notes. Our efforts were high profile.
9/Much of @History program hypes former FBI agent's opinion on their primary suspect & DNA test. Respectfully, not impressed. She wasn't part of Seattle Field Office which ran investigation. She was tasked w/one suspect interview. Her opinion offers very little expertise.
10/We had former FBI agents who were part of #DBCooper investigative team who agreed that #RobertRackstraw was hijacker.

SPOILER ALERT: I will be revealing final ending of this @history program.

FACT: You're better off reading it here than wasting 120 minutes of your life.
11/Interesting background info provided by @History parachute expert (and this is impt expert to include) but of course his opinion - notwithstanding what program advocate states - is they didn't find any piece of #DBCooper parachute.
12/ #SheridanPeterson is @History primary & only suspect in program. It looks like contemporaneous photos bear similarity to @DBCooper sketch. Personally, I think #RobertRackstraw photos are much closer but candidly eyewitness testimony, esp under stress, is inherently unreliable.
13/ This interview of Peterson, the primary suspect, is virtually worthless. Not sure what @History thought evidentiary value was.

I did think his "I miss Obama" hat was cool.
14/Primary hook on @History program is DNA testing. They test DNA from #DBCooper's tie to their suspect. I support all DNA testing bc science can exclude or prove suspect.

I never understood why Cooper letters weren't tested. I understand @FBI has envelopes. DNA saliva?
15/ @History advocate says he's always believed 98% "certainty" Sheridan "could be" #DBCooper. Could be? Not "is"? Strange choice of words & really putting entire rep of this case on this suspect w/little evidence to support.

Sheridan seems to enjoy taunting. #Rackstraw did same
16/According to @history program they HAVE #DBCooper DNA profile. If so, that's key. USE IT on other suspects!!!!

BTW, DNA results on his 98% "certainty" that Sheridan "could be" #DBCooper?

Sorry, but back to drawing board. NOT A MATCH.

This program was waste of time.
