Tampa, Florida -- The lines started forming more than an hour before the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office gun buy-back program was to start on Saturday. Hundreds of people dropping off more than 2,500 firearms including two rocket launchers and a flute turned into a gun.
Officials believe the Newtown, Connecticut school shooting may have fueled the big response.
"Oh I think it's a fantastic idea, more guns we can get off the streets the safer we'll all be," said one man who turned in a handgun.
"Rather than have them laying around the house, figure get them off the street," added Joshua Anderson, who turned in two guns.
With so many guns turned in, the Sheriff's Office actually ran out of money at each one of the five collection sites on Saturday. So a number of people were given vouchers and told to come back this weekend to collect their cash.
A total of 2,541 firearms were turned in and at $75 each. That's more than $190,000 authorities doled out to get the firearms off the streets.
That's also substantially more than the $60,000 officials budgeted for the gun busy back.
But Captain Chad Chronister says no taxpayer money was used to buy the weapons.
"We received some private donations along with... using our forfeiture and seizure asset fund from drug monies," he said on Monday.
Chronister also says the Sheriff's Office won't resell any of the guns. Instead he says they'll eventually be sent to Jacksonville to be melted down.
Authorities say 12 of the guns turned in were at one time reported as stolen, including one that was reported stolen some 30 years ago. Those guns, Chronister says, will be returned to their rightful owners and if ballistics tests link any of the other weapons to a crime, they will be saved and kept as evidence.
In addition to $75, for each gun turned in, people got a pair of both Rays and Lightning tickets.

The nature and extent of energy demand and utilization in a national economy are, to a large extent, indicative of its level of economic development. For a productive economy and for rapid and secure economic advancement, the country must pay maximum attention to the optimal development and Utilization of her energy resources and to the security of supply of her energy needs.
To do this, the country needs to put in place a coordinated and coherent energy policy, which will serve as a blueprint for the sustainable development, supply and utilization of energy resources within the economy, and for the use of such resources in international trade and co-operation. Dr. Rilwanu Lukman (Nigerian petroleum minister)
Newspaper headlines are typically dominated by events of short-term measures on energy sector. But I deemed it is crucial that we keep our eyes on the medium and longer-term pressures that economic, security and environmental demands place on our energy system as well.
Though, the short-time measures provide policymakers and industry experts with insight into the evolution of energy markets and analysis of the key challenges that we must overcome to ensure the existence of secure, efficient, environmentally acceptable and flexible energy systems and markets worldwide.
But extremely volatile and uncertain moment in world energy markets, soaring oil, gas and coal prices which explode energy demand in various part of the world, war in
Energy has a major impact on every aspect of our socio-economic life. It plays a vital role in the economic, social and political development of our nation. Inadequate supply of energy restricts socio-economic activities, limits economic growth and adversely affects the quality of life. Improvements in standards of living are manifested in increased food production, increased industrial output, the provision of efficient transportation, adequate shelter, healthcare and other human services. These will require increased energy consumption. Thus, our future energy requirements will continue to grow with increase in living standards, industrialization and a host of other socio-economic factors.
Energy generated from a variety of primary energy sources such as oil, gas, coal, renewable is being transformed into lighting, heating, cooking, motive power, mechanical power, transport and telecommunications. The benefits from providing energy services matter from the viewpoint of human and economic development. Poor people require affordable, accessible and reliable energy services to support their household, economic and social welfare activities. By contrast good quality heating and lighting, modern fuels and electricity provide mechanical power for agro-processing, refrigeration for clinics, motive power for transport and telecommunications for education and public awareness.
ELECTRICITY: Availability of electricity remains a major factor in the location of industries and a strong instrument of social development. Electricity supply has been a major problem in
Commercial electricity is generated mainly from hydropower, steam plants and gas turbines in
The annual consumption of electricity has been increasing very rapidly over the last three decades. It increased from 1,273 GWh in 1970 to 15,600 GWh in 2008. The domestic sector has accounted for over 50% of the grid electricity consumed in the country while the commercial and industrial sectors have accounted for about 25% each.
The INDUSTRIAL sector is one of the major energy consuming sectors and it accounts for about 25% of total commercial fuels currently consumed in the country.
Inadequate and unreliable supply of energy to industry is a major contributor to low industrial capacity utilization. The considerable energy resource base of the country is enough to satisfy the industrial energy demand under any plausible scenarios in the foreseeable future.
Agricultural sector formed the backbone of the nation's economy before oil discovery. Most Nigerian farmers, who produce over 80% of the food needs of the country, live in the rural areas with little access to electricity and petroleum fuels and therefore rely mainly on manual techniques and solar energy in executing most pre- and post-harvest agricultural operations.
The transport sector accounts for the bulk of the nation's petroleum products consumption. This pattern in the nation's energy consumption is expected to continue. Furthermore, increased needs for road transport services contribute significantly to the higher energy consumption in the transport sector.
It is therefore a fact that the above listed sectors form more than 80% of the Nigerian Economy. And all of them depend solely on secured energy supply which could only be realized by coherent energy policy.
The need for National Energy policy in
The resulting coherent and comprehensive policy covers the development, exploitation and Supply of all the nation's energy resources. It also covers key energy utilization sectors; energy related issues such as environment, energy efficiency and energy financing and energy policy implementation. It includes strategies for systematic exploitation of the energy resources, the development and effective use of energy manpower, supply of rural energy needs, efficient energy technology development and use, energy security, energy financing and private sector participation. The strategies are finally harmonized and grouped into short-medium – and long – term measures for easier implementation, with the hope that it will provide the framework for a better development of the energy sector and for a more effective contribution of the sector to the national economy.
The current National energy policy if properly implemented has the potentials to relieve millions of Nigerians from poverty and make positive impact on the country economy as the policy covers all sectors of energy generation, utilization and efficiency.
But government at all level prepares implementing short-term measures only as they do not consume much money. While the medium term and long term measures are in most cases abandon along the implementation process, normally as a result of funding, personal interest, negligence or due to political differences. And this is now impacting negatively on the country economic development.
Improper implementation of this policy as well as negligence has been impacting negatively on the country economic development.
The Niger Delta militant issue, the oil Bunkering and lapses from the oil regulatory agencies and pricing control, have now downgraded the country oil production. And as a result the country loses more than 30% of its oil generated revenue annually.
The persistence power failure in the country has significantly affected the economy and inflicts poverty on most Nigerians. Small scale industries have been a history especially in most part of
The major industrial zones in the northern and some part of
Pipeline vandalisation has been claiming lives of hundred of thousand Nigerian citizens while government is loosing Hundred Millions of Naira. This is due to high level of poverty in the country.
It is quite unfortunate for country rich of energy resources and well coordinated energy policy, but the can not be synchronize for a better economic and human development.
It is a pity that the policy drafted could not be implemented in the long run to positively contribution toward alleviating poverty in
It is for sure that lack of proper policy implementation and negligence will continue to be a demarcation between developmental achievements and hardship.

Viability of LaCamas Route
In reply to
I went online to see if I could find some photos of this dam. That way we wouldn't have to wait until August (when I will be able to visit in person).
The lake was formed a long, long time ago by using these dams. That's plural, because there's one at the southern area of Round Lake and another at the south end of Mill Pond. The Mill Pond route does not lead to Washougal; we would be more concerned with round lake.
As it is, there's a thick screen preventing fish or debris from entering Mill Pond.
There's another screen several feet out from this spot to act as a skimmer.
The dam is not hydroelectric, it's functional; it's what creates the lake.
Please see the first photo to see an overview of LaCamas, Round Lake, and Mill Pond.
Then see photo 2 to view Round Lake with some arrows pointing at the dam and the mill pond screen.
In photo 3 you can see the logs placed in front of the entire dam area to create a skimmer effect. These logs are tied into place with chain.
In photo 4, you will see a little bridge that also has screening that goes all the way down to the bottom of the lake. It keeps fish and debris from entering the pond.
In photo 5, you will see the back side of the dam.
In photo 6, you will see a shot taken from the dam looking out over Round Lake (towards LaCamas Lake). Take note on how still the water is and how the barriers sift debris before permitting water to enter the dam area.
In photo 7, you will see LaCamas Creek. Please note the type of creek including rocks and the level of waterflow. If the 22 pound, 5+ gallon sized bag were to arrive via "natural" means, it would have to flow down this creek before ever adjoining the Columbia.
To summarize, if the money had "no help" then it would certainly have had to made it's way from farm area to LaCamas Lake where it would have to float, exit the Lake (which we haven't even discussed yet) into Round Lake, make its way past any skimmers, and get pushed over the skimmers of the dam. It would then have to travel down LaCamas Creek a few miles before adjoing Washougal River and then adjoin the Columbia. It would then travel the distance from the mouth of Washougal to the sand bar where the money was found.
The distance from the dam to Washougal is 1.82 miles if you follow the creek.
The distance from that point to where the money was found is 20.41 miles.
I was curious how far it was from the dam to the farm area and I traced the path 10.62 miles until I just said "good enough" at the southeastern most border of the general vicinity (which means the actual travel path may be up to a mile further).
Totaling these together, it's at least 32 miles of creeks/streams/lakes/and river. The last 20 miles of the journey would be the quickest.
As stated previously, the bag would measure approximately 9x12x17.
This is the reason why float time is so important. My understanding is that Himmelsbach himself said there was
closure to the top of the bag, which really causes me to pause when I think about such a miraculous trek... but ultimately, I will let the reader draw their own conclusions as to the viability of LaCamas Lake.

How High Would the Money Bag Float?
In reply to
You may have been wondering what the bag would look like as it floated.
This time I'm going to show the work to illustrate how this type of question can be answered mathematically.
The dimensions of the money were approximately 9x12x17 and it weighed 22 pounds (rounded up slightly). The bag may have added up to 3 pounds of weight, but for argument's sake, let's say the bag weighed nothing (since we don't really know its weight yet).
I've already stated that it would float on its largest surface, one of the 12x17 sides.
1 gallon of water = 8.34 pounds
22 pounds/8.34 = 2.64 gallons of displacement
1 gallon = 231 cubic inches
12x17x1 = 204 cubic inches per inch of depth
2.64 gallons x 231 cubic inches per gallon = 610 cubic inches (of displacement needed).
610 cubic inches / 204 cubic inches per inch = 2.99 inches
This means 3 inches of the bag would be below water and 6 inches would be above water.
Incidentally, if the bag added 3 pounds to the total, then 3.4 inches would be below water and 5.6 inches would be above water.
I realize none of this solves anything, nor does it actually "do" anything. I'm only making this post for future reference should these calculations be needed.
As it is, how the (dry) bag floats in water might actually influence how someone considers the odds of the bag getting past the skimmers in front of the dam at Round Lake.
It would also be extremely valuable in determining the approximate waterflow that would be required to move the bag itself from the farm area to the lake. As you can see from the calculations, you would need a channel greater than 3 inches deep of water and at least 12 inches wide (to clear the bag) with no obstacles in the way. Otherwise the bag would stay in place. I can't speak to how likely this is, but can certainly say the further you move away from the lake (in a north direction), the less water flow you will have to push the bag towards the lake.
It should be noted, however, that as the canvas and the bills soak up water, the bag and contents would become heavier and the bag would be pushed lower down into the water (which would accelerate the sinking process in the lake & increase the flow requirements to move the bag into the lake in the first place). These calculations were for a dry bag only.
For the reader trying to picture what it would have been like for the money bag to float in the lake, I've included pictures.
The first one was taken from the NE section of the lake (looking SW to the West side of the lake where there are now a lot of homes).
The second picture was taken by the local ski club when they set up a slalom course. From other photos with skiers, it appears these buoys stick up about 6 to 7 inches, maybe slightly higher than a dry money bag would have, but the bag would have been more than twice the size of these buoys.
The final picture is of the skimmers again (but different photo)

Re: [Albert18] How High Would the Money Bag Float?
In reply to
The lake is stocked with about 25,000 different fish each year; taken from the (Bonneville?) fish hatchery.
There used to be indiginous fish, but they've all died out due to environmental changes.
I think your question refers to fishermen on the lake.
YES. Always. It's been a big fishing spot for decades (including the 60s & 70s)... and the obvious thing to consider is the likliness of the bag floating all that time in the (very) large lake without any fishermen getting curious and checking it out.
IMO, not likely...

Re: [Orange1] Facts and theories
In reply to
In reply to:
If a bag of cash came separated from Cooper at or soon after exit, it could have travelled much further than a skydiver would, either in freefall or under canopy. Fact.
I have not been able to get into this discussion and it is just as well. Cooper did not become separated from the money - he buried most of it and returned in 1979 which was the first time he had the opportunity to go back to WA.
I can take you to two locations that he had the opportunity to throw something into the Columbia. If I get well enough --- I am going to do just that - and if the law doesn't disallow it in WA. I am going to throw 1/3 of his ashes in at both places - one in a plastic bucket - along with paper, but not real money. The second location will be paper in a bag along with part of the ashes. The last 1/3 -
maybe I will flush it down the toilet of a Boeing
or have it thrown out of a plane at 10,000 ft over the area he jumped in.
When the contents of the bag are found and the plastic bucket is discovered I won't be around ... then someone can "debate" that.
the FBI has not told ALL of the story.
They know the "evidence" on the tie was compromised and that is confirmed by the 'butts' being lost. They know that
one of their own had access to that evidence
and supposedly showed that tie to McCoy's family - that means it left the evidence room ... and the state of WA. Is this when the "butts" came up missing?
The FBI also knows
WHY they did not release any pictures of the tie at that time.
Then 36 yrs later the tie suddenly becomes evidence that can excuse individuals -
minus the "butt".
What would a court of law do with that?
if the FBI wanted to find COOPER - why did they not release pictures of that tie in 1971
. I know the answer to that question.
The FBI knows the answer to that question
... and they buried that evidence a long time ago...?????
ALSO NOTE: If I allow a private concern to do a check of that knife and it's contents the FBI will reject it and I certainly DO NOT TRUST the FBI.
NOTE: THe
FBI has NEVER PUBLICLY acknowledge that they lost the "BUTTs"
and I believe that the agent before Carr was disciplined for telling me about the 'BUTTS BEING LOST" several yrs ago. The agent and his superior refuted the statement and now it comes out yrs, later that they REALLY are LOST.
Note: This loss has never been announced in a public statement and Ckret only posted that on a forum.
The stewardesses have never stated that the tie they have in evidence is the tie worn by Cooper.
It was found on the seat next to him
- it is an assumption.
What happened to the paper bag?
What was in that paper bag - did it just disappear
- it would have had his prints on it. Was Cooper smart enough to take the bag with him?
The FBI HAS never answered my question about 20 dollar bills found in CA - in an area accessible to individuals of interest to the FBI - I have found no reports they ever checked that money against Cooper's money. I cannot tell you in a forum why I think they are related and why the FBI never answered me or investigated this after I contacted them regarding the above - there were never any more reports in the national news regarding this random find of money.
I will answer NO questions about the tie other than what I have stated and about 20 dollar bills appearing in a strange way at a certain time in the FBI's investigation of Duane Weber. There have been
too many unanswered questions - regarding the actions of the FBI in their investigation of Duane.
Sounds like and Looks like a WASH to me. Sorry this is a long post, but THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT!
There are and have been for many yrs. forces inaction that we as citizens have no control over regarding our government - and the cover-up regarding D.B. Cooper is one of them.
Now someone convince me this is not true! --- Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy, President Kennedy, Dorothy Killgallen and others who have gone were she dared to go. We know who the assassins were, but do we really know how and why these things happened. What about the unanswered questions leading up to how Bobby Kennedy's assassin had access to his exit point - answer to that one is Someone who was supposed to be protecting him.
I am not getting off track - I am talking about the subject. White Wash, Covert Actions, Secrets, Corruption, War, Politics --- What Is and Has Been Going on Behind Closed Door in Our American for yrs.

Conspiracy theories are very useful to people who can't prove something (it's because "they" are hiding the facts). Maybe you can't prove it for the simple reason that it wasn't the case in the first place.
Jo, with all due respect, you have absolutely no way of knowing what happened on exit. You weren't there. You have no evidence that Duane could have pulled off that jump and for some strange reason when there did appear to be links between Duane and known skydivers - something you initially asked for - you suddenly decided they were not worthy of further discussion. Now you claim to have evidence but won't let the FBI look at it. None of this is helping convince anyone that Duane was Cooper.
I for one think I can understand perfectly why Carr hasn't bothered coming back to these forums, at least at this time.

That and mistakes do happen in investigations. Even with the FBI. How does that happen? Well, all of those investigators are human and mistakes do happen. Do not confuse those mistakes with an overwhelmingly large conspiracy to discredit a single insignificant person and his girlfriend. Firstly, investigations encompass a surprisingly large number of people. That's important since not every single one of them like their jobs or their employer. There are people that would love to act as a whistle blower and history shows that they are there and they do go public.
So this great conspiracy to make sure that a dead man and his former but still unknown girlfriend are discredited would surely result in those whistle blowers going public. There's just too many people involved to keep a secret like that for something that is so insignificant.

Re: [SafecrackingPLF] Viability of LaCamas Route
In reply to
In reply to:
, LaCamas Creek. Please note the type of creek including rocks and the level of waterflow. If the 22 pound, 5+ gallon sized bag were to arrive via "natural" means, it would have to flow down this creek before ever adjoining the Columbia.
To summarize, if the money had "no help" then it would certainly have had to made it's way from farm area to LaCamas Lake where it would have to float, exit the Lake (which we haven't even discussed yet) into Round Lake, make its way past any skimmers, and get pushed over the skimmers of the dam. It would then have to travel down LaCamas Creek a few miles before adjoing Washougal River and then adjoin the Columbia. It would then travel the distance from the mouth of Washougal to the sand bar where the money was found..
This is the reason why float time is so important. My understanding is that Himmelsbach himself said there was
closure to the top of the bag, which really causes me to pause when I think about such a miraculous trek... but ultimately, I will let the reader draw their own conclusions as to the viability of LaCamas Lake.
Okay - say the Fight is OFF its vector - and is further East than was reporter or a wind factor was involved - is it possible the money landed in the Washougal...I know someone is going to ask this so it just as well be me. Again that would be moving the filght path and the jump time would have put him into the mountains - at least that is what I am assuming from looking at a map. I saw that Washougal in May of 2000 - I wouldn't want to be in that - if the money was - it would never have made it to the Columbia.
You know that West of that Mansion and it servants quarters used to be 3 cabins - on the North side of LaCamas Lake - that is one of the places Duane took me to...at the time there was only the
foundation of one cabin left
and he told me there used to be 3 there. This is the point at which he pointed South to what was a a dirt road at that time - and told me about
a Cabin
there, and to then East and said something about
a tower
and to the West and mention
an old logging camp.
On my trip to Wa. in 2000 - I found out that all of that did exist in 1971 and 1979. In 2000 the area had developed tremendously on the South East banks but
the dairy
was still there and the director of the Youth Camp on the North East side of the lake told us there used to be
an old Feeding Camp
- for the loggers on the South West side. The height of the lake in 2000 was considerably higher than it was in 1979 on the sentimental journey.
There is
a small creek that runs from the North into the lake
- Follow that creek
north and it will take you to power lines and then those power lines will take you to the pipe lines
- when the underbrush wasn't there
you could walk for miles
know exactly where you were going
. (This is what he told me in 1979). Just a bit further up the road on the North Westside use to be what I think was an orchard at one time - the field in 1979 had lots of Rocks in it and some select very large trees - Duane knew his way around there real good -
he didn't look at a map and he made all of these little side trips
- some of these road weren't marked in 1979.
Tell me something,
HOW does a man know an area like that if he SUPPOSEDLY never spent any time in the area?
The FBI never could answer that question.
Strange that you alone have zeroed in on this area. When I was out there in 2000 these supposed guides took me everywhere but there...I kept telling them that the places they took me to weren't even close.
Then along come the Angel "Udell" and I only had that one free day before my fight left the next morning - this truck driver asked me if I had a problem while I was waiting for my ride in front of the Double Tree - I just told her that I was looking for something I couldn't find - she asked me to describe the places - and when I did she told me where to go to find both places .
The driver and ladies who where hosting me had another route in mind, but took me to these place and
the moment I laid eyes on LaCamas lake I had found my "river"
...and I also found the Washougal River
on my left
before turning up a road thru pastures -- I had repeatedly been told that could not be and yet there it was...then this big wide river
which I did not know was a lake
and Duane did not tell me differently - I had NO idea I was on a lake...the banks were steep in 1979 at the cabin site and in 2000 the water was up to the cabin site and the youth director asked me if I saw the lily pads - and he explain that just beyond those the water dropped off - that the lake had filled in.
The trees in 1979 - the area around the cabins seemed barren and scrappy...yet in 2000 the trees were larger - the director then noted a 3 yrs old tree versus a 25 yr old tree - I knew I had found it - I remember both visions so very vividly. I will never get it out of my mind. This is the point I knew my search was over - I felt totally exhausted from the prior 4 days - I didn't need to see the things they had planned for me to see.
The man who was driving was at that time in 2000
an undercover Narco....his life depended on his knowing when someone was lieing --- he was 99.9% sure that what I was telling him was the truth. He left himself a small fraction for grace sake. I still communicate with one of the women in the van that day...she was the one who arranged for the undercover narco to assist us.
AND here I go again - just talking about that lake and the area from there to the Washougal, Coffee Rd., the "Orchard" or field, the mansion, all of those things he told me. Before we went to the lake he took me to the strangest place -
a cementery.
He didn't get out or stop the car...I have no idea...what that was, but he seemed to be more focused on an area West of the Cementery and back toward the Washougal River...I don't remember what it was and I didn't think to tell the driver to go down there - I was so elated at finding the other places and we were tired.
In 1979 Duane took us onto Coffey Rd (I only recently found that road)- and after passing an intersection we went North on a not so major paved road in 1979 -
after quiet a ways and this is where I get lost, but some place in that area was were the pipe line or power lnes crossed the tracks - I didn't see them - Duane told me about them.
This is where the tower was - now it is all homes and forest is gone...I found this with Sluggo's maps and when I contacted him he emailed maps of the area I requested...I have not communicated with him recently to thank him for finding that map - he sent 3 maps but I only had to open the first one and it was dead on.
This far more than I ever meant to tell you guys, but it is done. It was eerie the way all of this stuff you guys have been talking about just sent me back into the trip one more time - frankly
I wish the memories would go away - that he had never told me the things he told me or took me to the places he did
- all of the things he said over an 17 yr marriage and ended with his telling me about something that I had forgot about - and
he was mad at me for not knowing what he was talking about.
He wanted to get on down the Road -
"Let's get on down the Road, Jo. "
This statement was only a few hours the evening before he died the next day around mid-day.
Our last conversation... because when I went back to the hospital the next day they had doped him up. I left that one night and the struggle with the nurse putting a morphine patch on his back...I now know that contributed to his death the next day. He told me "
They are going to Kill me - get if off"
. I didn't know that they were also giving it to him orally - he wasn't dying fast enough for them... When I got there the next day he was almost gone - I knew I was there because he said "I love You" and 40 minutes later he was gone.
I am sorry, but this was one man who had been to hell and back - from prisoner to Regional Manger for a subsidiiary of Merrill Lynch - a man I knew, but didn't know. Not until 1 yr and 2 months after he died when I stumbled onto the name of Dan Cooper in a book and the flood gates of memories came.
Just like they have to night - rather this Sunday morning.
I have spent 17 yrs of my life loving this man and 13 yrs of my life finding out who this man really was
trying to put his story out of my mind...but it won't go away.
No - I am not crazy and I have not made up one thing I have told you - I have repeated the story for so long and it is always the same... just
more vivid with each passing yr. and the more I know the harder it is
that I am just -the Crazy Lady - and that the FBI refuses to do what is right. Duane Weber was Dan Cooper.
There is nothing I will ever be able to do to prove it to the world -
but, I know.
.....and I also know about the "tie"..................................but, that again is another story - one the world will probably never know.

That hardly surprises me. It's not the kind of "question" I would expect them to "answer". It's not really what people would consider evidence, when you've stated yourself many times how Duane lied to all sorts of people about all sorts of things. There are probably a million other "questions" in the world that the FBI could "never answer", but they're not the kind of questions anyone would really expect them to answer...

Re: [skyjack71] Viability of LaCamas Route
In reply to
You asked about the probability of the money landing in the Washougal watershed.
This was addressed on the previous thread, post 1443, the very first question I answered.
It's impossible. The distance is too far and the wind direction make it beyond possible. The plane would have had to been 12 miles to the east meaning they'd be so far off course that they'd require a massive correction that would have been noted somewhere in addition to mandatory sobriety tests issued to the captains in Reno.
From my 1443 post on the prior thread:
"The closest possible point from the flight path to the Washougal River is 11.24 miles. In addition, Cooper would have to jump at approximately 8:17-8:18 and travel in a perfect easterly direction."
The "perfect easterly direction" was impossible due to the wind direction. Further, the plane would have been miles
of PDX and not west of PDX as the route dictates.
Washougal is so out of question, it's not even funny. I have a better chance of being Cooper than of the money landing in that area. I wasn't alive when the crime occured, so that should give you an idea of the probability on that one.
I concur with Orange1. It's not the FBI's job to explain Duane's intricate knowledge of the area. It's their job to investigate the crime; something they quit doing in the early 80s.
Once Himmelsbach retired two weeks after Ingram's find, the case, IMO, was dead.
The level of examination and analysis that all of us, and especially those of the DZ community, have brought in this thread and the previous thread could have been done by the FBI by the end of March 1980.
As it is, they never really took the time to figure out all the implications of the evidence.
As for my discussion of LaCamas Lake and your discussion of LaCamas Lake, it's pure coincidence. I'm discussing it because it's the
route that would explain "no intervention". That's just true from a pure geographic standpoint.

Galen Cook
In reply to
Galen Cook is an attorney/former PI who has spent a lot of time theorizing about this case. He has also been known to harass key witnesses over the last several years, and he actually sued the FBI in 2004 to get all of the Cooper evidence released to the public.
On Feb 28th, he appeared on coast to coast talk radio. Evidently, it's an "Art Bell" type of show, and he presented "evidence" of an unnamed suspect in this case.
I am hereby pleading for Galen Cook to join the discussion. Though I do find your ambition to find Tina Mucklow to be somewhat tasteless, the more experts on Cooper we can get here, the stronger the discussion will become. Please join us.
As it is, I will summarize the "evidence" presented in this radio show (that I found through google).
1. Suspect had military parachute training. This is backed up by an emblem that he wore on his uniform. His eldest son also said that he used to do "HALO" jumps in preparation for the Vietnam war that included night jumps.
2. In 1971 he served as a ROTC trainer at an unnamed university in Utah. The regional headquarters for ROTC training was apparently Ft. Lewis AFB (according to Cook).
3. According to Cook, the suspect appears to be "the best" match he's ever seen to the composite sketch(es). See attached.
4. This was insinuated but not declared; the suspect "confessed in not so many words" to his family over the years (quotes are mine).
I'm sure all of us on this DZ thread would love to ask you more questions regarding the suspect and to bounce theories off of you.
He's submitted fingerprints to Ckret about a month ago, but no announcement has been made by the FBI that this case has been solved. (we may be able to conclude that no match was found, but that may also be a premature conclusion).
The entire interview is posted on YouTube and on the coasttocoastam(dot)com website if anyone is interested.
He has a fairly solid understanding of the facts, but some of his information is faulty. Regardless, his explanation of Ingram's money find is significantly flawed. Most everyone on here knows that I'm a stickler to that particular detail because it tends to flaw almost every theory out there (but we are still debating that).
His "theory" is as follows:
Cooper offered to give Tina some of the money. This has been documented and was confirmed by Ckret in the previous thread. According to Galen Cook, Cooper placed the refused stack in his coat pocket. Upon exit, the money in his pocket came flying out. It was later found on the river bank.
Cook's theory does mention pack(s) not pack. That's good because three packs were found, not one. However, in Ckret's post #678, he says
"Cooper reached into the bag and gave her a bundle of money. Tina then said to him she was just joking and that she could not accept gratuities and handed the bundle back to Cooper."
This would imply that Cooper did not offer Tina $6,000 but a mere $2,000. Galen Cook contends that this offer was extended to multiple people (which would mean multiple packs). I will put in a message to Ckret to see if he can confirm or deny this.
In addition to that discrepency, we've discussed at great length when the money arrived on the sand bar (1979) and the condition that it was in and had to of been in when arriving (rubber bands still intact). Both of which would point away from such a theory. Further, and this goes without saying, the jump occured 12 miles from where the money was subsequently found and there are no water ways that would explain the find (unless you break the timeline, location of the plane, accept LaCamas Lake, and figure out how to get a stack of cash to float for longer than 11 minutes).
Galen, please join the best Cooper theorists in the world, the ones right here on DZ, to discuss the ins and outs of the case. We're waiting!

I'd love to hear your opinion on the interview Jim.
I left out one of the pieces of "evidence"... Cook says his unnamed suspect used to enjoy dressing up.
I wonder if he enjoyed dressing up with clip on ties.
IMO, the interview was intriguing and worth a listen, but the case against the unnamed suspect was fairly weak. Maybe I missed something somewhere (perhaps a prior interview?). In particular, I enjoyed the argument between Cook and the McCoy theorist who called into the show.
It was also plainly obvious that this Galen Cook has not visited this DZ thread, which IMO, is a mistake if you're thinking of making the rounds and proclaiming a theory out in public. Such people should be armed with as much expert opinion as possible, and the opinions offered up by experienced skydivers cannot be gained elsewhere.

Re: [SafecrackingPLF] Galen Cook
In reply to
It was very interesting, but there was no strong evidence presented. If Mr. Cook just went public in late Feb., there may be more information that he's holding back for now. Otherwise, it's just a lead for the FBI (who may not care anymore).
Good point about the dressing up/clip-on tie idea. Could he have used a clip-on knowing the tie might slap the hell out of his face during the jump though?...
The whole tie/DNA thing is very flaky IMHO. Has the FBI ever stated that they found
DNA on the tie? AFAIK, they just said there was no match with Duane Weber. Also, in 1971 they would not have handled evidence in the same way they would now. The tie was probably touched by several ungloved hands back then.
Mr. Cook most likely hasn't seen this thread, and he should be interested. He can be contacted through C2C, and I'm pretty sure his law firm is in WA, possibly Spokane.

The clip-on is a whole different discussion, and no one has any definitive answers about it (that I'm aware of). I'm not even sure what my "theory" is on it.
You're correct about the handling of the tie; it's not beyond the scope of reason to think that agents handled it after it had been processed. The DNA: Multiple male donors found "on the tie" (I'm assuming the metallic clip). DNA retrieved from Jo (which may or may not have been Duane's) did not match any of the male donors on the tie.
I remembered that I forgot the "strongest" link of the unnamed suspect: his brother's name was Dan.
So you have a military trained parachuter, the appropriate age, who's brother is named Dan, and he likes to dress up. That apparently adds up to him being Cooper.
I'd hope he'd have more to it than just this (and there probably is)... he has a pretty bad reputation in the "Cooper" world for reasons you noticed in that interview (giving out private information about Tina publicly).

The Timeline?
In reply to
The following is a statement by Ralph Himmelsbach given in 1988 on the Unsolved Mysteries segment covering DB Cooper.
It's quoted verbatim:
He told her to go back into the cockpit and to close the curtain between the coach and the first class cabins. As she turned around to close the curtains, she said she saw him tying something to his waist with what she thought was rope. Later in the cockpit, the light flashed indicating that the highjacker was attempting to operate the door. At 8:12, the pilot told us that they were experiencing a rapid change in the air pressure reflected in a ears popping experience.
When we discuss(ed) the case with Ckret, he went off of the written files. Himmelsbach, on the other hand, was based out of Portland (not Seattle) and he had a working knowledge of the case beginning from the first moments when the crime was underway. I would weigh his words very strongly.
I'm not sure if he was speaking metaphorically, or if he was literal, but he made it sound as though the time of the pressure bump was determined by the FBI in real time. When he said "the pilot told us they were experiencing" he effectively phrased it in such a way that suggests the FBI was updated almost continually.
What's interesting is that the teletype mentioned an oscillation at 8:12, and it has been thoroughly discussed by Cooper experts/authors that the pressure bump occured simultaneously with the oscillation and that both of these events were reproduced in the testing that happened in Jan 72.
The two people who would know the most about the reliability of the timeline would be William Rataczak and Ralph Himmelsbach. Captain Scott died 7 years ago yesterday.

Thinking again about your obsession with the money -- agree where it was found is a paradox BUT there just might be some explanation that you/we have not thought of -- so am wondering if that by itself is really reason enough to "flaw" all the other theories.

Re: [Orange1] Galen Cook
In reply to
If there's a scenario that we haven't discussed or thought of, I hope we think of it, or someone comes on here and points it out to us. I have no interest of leaving any stone unturned.
As it is, I don't know what else we could be missing. We know where the waterways are, and they have not changed location. We know where the FBI & NWA originally calculated the jump point. We know where the money was found (within a hundred yards or so).
There's only so many possibilities: plane was in a different location and the timeline was later OR someone found the money/body and decided to chuck it into the river (or adjacent location) in 1979.
Wind couldn't reasonably account for the 12+ mile disparity. Without busting the rules, water doesn't account for it. Is it really likely that an animal or animals carried multiple bundles of cash 12+ miles?
Like I said, we're left with location of the plane (it would have to be either right on the river or it would have to be east) AND (because the jump is too far north) the timeline would have to be adjusted. Adjust these two and we have a
of coming up with an alternate explanation (but even then we'd have to contend with the geology of the beach and the 1979 timeline of the money deposit).
I suppose you're right, Mayfield, Christiansen, etc were not really explained much better than the unknown suspect. One guy spent more money than his family thought he'd have, and the other was an expert skydiver who apparently called authorities shortly after the jump. I didn't necessarily mean to joke about his legitimacy, I was just commenting that Cook never really gave the listener a reason to conclude his guy was Cooper. He really needed to talk more about any comments he made to his family over the years; it wasn't discussed at all in the very lengthy interview, but alluded to.
His theory on the money doesn't disqualify his guy. His idea on how the money got there was certainly worth discussing, but it's essentially impossible. I think all theories on the money are worth discussing regardless of who's idea or agenda it argues, because a legitimate discussion of the money can eventually give us a much more accurate idea of what truly happened. I believe this is why Ckret told us the money deserved the most amount of "investigation". No investigation was really ever done, otherwise they would have known fairly quick what all of us already know as a result of discussing the details.

Galen Cook Photo Comparison
In reply to
Out of curiosity, I went in search of any FRS that I might use to compare photos of Cook's unnamed suspect against the composite sketches.
Unless I invest a lot of money into sophisticated software, it's just not feasible. However, I did find an online geneology site that has some crude FRS integrated into their features. One of the tools you can use is a comparitive look a like test. It's designed to tell you which parent most resembles a child, but I decided to test it out using sketches and photos.
First, I ran Galen Cook's suspect against a convicted killer and probably the best sketch of the killer ever made; the resemblence between the two is the best I've ever seen between a sketch and a photo. Not surprisingly, Cook's suspect lost to the convicted killer by 22%. This is probably the biggest margin we could ever hope for from such a test.
Next, I ran Galen Cook's suspect against Christiansen and Weber. He lost to Christiansen by 5% and to Weber by 6%. The margin decreased slightly when I used the Bing Crosby sketch (4% & 5%).
The only sketch that really produced anything different was the Florence Schaffner sketch of 1988. When I ran Cook's suspect against Christiansen using the Schaffner sketch, Galen's guy beat him by 5%. I then ran the same test against Weber and it was a statistical tie.
While my little experiment is far from scientific and I would never, ever put much weight onto it, it was still interesting to see if I could challenge Cook's assertion that "it's the closest match I've ever seen".
If I had expensive software and a huge database, I would rely a little more on that. Such a test has only been done once, and Weber beat out the entire database (3,000 people) including some top suspects (guessing McCoy). Wish we could play around with that FRS, but regardless I don't consider that experiment small potatoes.
The photos are only for fun & to illustrate my little experiment.

I'm quite impressed by the amount of time you seem to have to devote to the case.
The sketch results are interesting but even with more sophisticated software I doubt it will really be of much use. Especially pre computer imaging, sketches/identikist/photofits - whatever - have been notorious as never being entirely accurate - at best. Something you can see just about any time you see a photo of a criminal next to his sketch... also plenty of stuff on this if you google it. There was something that in the early 70s the best help they got from sketches gave them clues in 5-10% of cases... hardly very inspiring.

Re: [Orange1] Galen Cook Photo Comparison
In reply to
The point was, Galen Cook said his suspect matched the photo(s) better than anyone he ever saw. I was just horsing around to see if I could get an objective point of view.
I can't speak to the accuracy of criminal sketches. I've seen some that have been put together very haphazardly and aren't inspiring, like you say. I've seen others that were very detailed and well put together and have been spot on (see the KTT example that I posted above).
I can tell you that some law enforcement now uses FRS to sift through thousands of suspect photos in comparison to criminal sketches. They could not nor would not even 1. use sketches to begin with or 2. take the second step of matching sketches to criminal databases, if there was no merit to the sketches in general.
I would judge the various Cooper sketches based on their attention to detail, but would also take into consideration the number of revisions that were done to get it right (there was at least 3 revisions).
While I wouldn't expect a perfect match if they ever nailed Cooper, I would expect some semblance to them. I also wouldn't trivialize the accuracy of the most sophisticated FRS out there, such a program weighed a confessor to the crime against an entire database and lo and behold the confessor was the top biometric match to the sketch. Certainly not proof on its own, but not to be trivialized either since the odds of such a thing are 1 in 3,000 (and you told me you used odds all the time and thought 20% was not worth discussing, 99.97% therefore should be significant to you).

Not all police sketches are created equal. I think everyone here would agree on that. I admitted as much in my previous post.
The Son of Sam sketch was exceptionally weak. It was drawn after Berkowitz shot Donna Lauria and Jody Valenti at 1:10 in the morning.
From wikipedia
After her parents were inside, Lauria opened the car door to depart, and she saw a man approaching them quickly. Startled and angered by the man's sudden appearance, Lauria said, "Now what is this " From the paper sack he carried, the man produced a handgun and, crouching as he aimed, fired three shots. Lauria was struck in her chest by one bullet that killed her almost instantly, Valenti took a bullet in her thigh, and the third missed both girls. The shooter turned and quickly walked away.
It's not a fair comparison to equate the Cooper sketches to a sketch devised by a witness who saw an attacker in the middle of the night, was subsequently shot, traumatized by the death of her friend, and had very little time to burn an image of the attacker into her mind.
Further, it's been fairly well documented that eye witness accounts of a violent attacker brandishing a gun are highly unreliable. Even Ckret, who works bank robberies, made mention of this phenomena in one of his posts.
The attention to detail, the number of witnesses, and the number of revisions to get the picture just right should all tell you that the Cooper sketch would not be as weak as the Son of Sam sketch.
Remember, I was only playing around. I never said my fun and games meant anything, but I do think the much more sophisticated FRS test conducted back in 2001 holds merit.
I thought I'd throw some funny comparisons into the mix just to show my point... these things are meaningless! Since the Son of Sam sketch was described as looking like a middle aged black man (and I agree), the first comparison is of Berkowitz verses Black Panther Squire. The second one is of Berkowitz verses Kevin Cooper. The third one is of Berkowitz verses Mayfield...
People, it's just fun and games. I was just playing, but I think we all made some good points.

I'm not sure what Expert Sorcerer SS does, but replace it with something that will combo with Consuming Grudge and put it in 3rd Slot (I.E. Skeleton Warrior SS)
Replace Lycan Doll with Halberd.
I think you have excess units. You might want to use more tech cards. Skeleton Archer would be the first thing I would drop.

The Fidelius Charm is a complex and powerful Charm that takes a specific piece of information (a secret) and implants it into a being's soul. The one whose soul houses the secret is known as the Secret-Keeper.The purpose of this spell is to conceal a specific location, making it invisible, intangible, unplottable, and sound-proof.
Becoming Secret Keeper
When the charm is initially cast, one can choose more than one person to be Secret Keeper, though it is unknown if there is a limit as to how many people can carry the same secret in this way. Once the Secret Keeper dies, all the people who have learnt the secret from them will become the new Secret Keepers. If the Keeper has chosen not to reveal the secret to anyone (so that they are the only Keepers) then the secret rests with them forever.
Revealing the SecretOnce the secret has been implanted, the only method for another to learn it is for the primary Secret Keeper to divulge it to that person directly, it cannot be discovered any other way. The people who the Secret Keeper has already divulged the information to (secondary Keepers) would not be able to pass it along even if they wanted to and the information in question can not be learnt even by stumbling across it, even if one were staring the secret in the face. For example, if someone were to hide a location in this way, even if a person were to stumble into the specific area they would not be able to recognise it for what it was (i.e. as the area they were looking for) and they would not therefore learn the location accidentally.
Whilst one cannot force secondary Keepers to divulge the information they have learnt, it is unknown if coercive methods to have the primary Keeper reveal the location (such as Veritaserum or the Imperius Curse) would work.
The method for the primary Keeper to voluntarily tell another person the secret can be verbal or written. It is also possible that primary Keepers can reveal information to another by showing it to them. This theory is postulated because whilst 12 Grimmauld Place was under this charm and being used as a base of operations for Harry, Hermione and Ron only after Dumbledore's death, the Death Eaters evidently became aware of 12 Grimmauld Place's approximate location knowing that Harry Potter had inherited the property from Sirius Black. Despite watching the gap between numbers 11 and 13 when on the lookout for Harry, the house remained invisible to them until Yaxley grabbed onto Hermione Granger's arm while she, Harry, and Ron Weasley Disapparated away from the Ministry of Magic to 12 Grimmauld Place, where they had been hiding. It is explained that because Hermione (along with everyone else who knew the house's location) had been rendered Secret-Keeper by Dumbledore's death, she inadvertently took Yaxley past the protections of the Fidelius Charm. The trio subsequently abandoned the house as a hideout.
Once the secondary Keeper has received the information in either of these ways the information will still appear hidden to them until they start thinking about it, at which point the secret will reveal itself to them alone. For example, Alastor Moody gave Harry Potter a parchment with Albus Dumbledore instructing where the Order of the Phoenix's headquarters is. He then merely has to think about the said location whilst in the correct area and it would appear out of thin air, allowing him entry.
Known Uses
- The Fidelius Charm was used to protect James, Lily, and Harry Potter from Lord Voldemort at their home in Godric's Hollow, the location of which was the secret entrusted. They designated their Secret-Keeper as Sirius Black, but then switched to Peter Pettigrew at the last minute before the spell was cast as they thought it would be less obvious; they had refused Albus Dumbledore's offer to be secret keeper due to them preferring their friends, which proved a deadly mistake - Pettigrew betrayed them to Lord Voldemort, who found and murdered the Potters, with only Harry Potter surviving the attack.
- The Fidelius Charm was once more employed to cloak the base of the Order of the Phoenix at 12 Grimmauld Place. However, in 1997 when Albus Dumbledore (primary Keeper) was killed, the members of the Order of the Phoenix automatically became Secret-Keepers for the HQ. This included Severus Snape, whose allegiance was doubtful at the time. As such, the Order was forced to abandon their headquarters.
- Arthur and Bill Weasley used this charm on their households in 1998.
Behind the scenes
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows contained a few notable discrepancies regarding the Fidelius Charm. For example, it is not known whether or not Yaxley had learned the location of 12 Grimmauld Place by "piggybacking" on Hermione, or even if he had comprehended where he had been taken by Hermione; he may simply have stumbled out of the hideout unaware of his true location between exiting and entering it.
- When the Weasley family was forced into hiding, Bill told them that Arthur was Secret-Keeper and also told them that they were staying at Aunt Muriel's. Since Arthur was Secret-Keeper, it would logically follow that Bill should not have been able to tell the trio about the Weasleys' whereabouts. Also, when Harry, Ron, and Hermione were captured and taken to Malfoy Manor, Ron told Dobby where to take the hostages when the house-elf came to rescue them. There are several theories to explain these incidences: whilst it is possible that Bill and Arthur were both Secret-Keepers for Muriel's, and that Ron had been made into an additional Secret-Keeper for Shell Cottage, this was never specified. It is more likely that the Fidelius charms were cast after the trio arrived at the cottage, since Bill and Arthur would not have known that they were in immediate danger until after the first group of escaped prisoners arrived at Shell Cottage. Or perhaps it is due to the fact that elf magic is beyond that of wizard magic (i.e. being able to apparate in/out of Hogwarts, being able to apparate in/out of Malfoy Manor).
- It is also conceivable that while anyone can know where people and places protected by a Fidelius charm are located, once the charm is cast, only the secret keeper can reveal, as in, make detectable, the location. This is backed up by the fact that Death Eaters knew that number 12 Grimmauld Place existed, and were stationed outside it, even though it was not visible to them. This alternate understanding of the word reveal makes it possible to understand a number of these inconsistencies.
- Also, the Fidelius Charm appears to be impervious to a Taboo Jinx, such as the one placed on Lord Voldemort's name after the Fall of the Ministry of Magic. Several times, unaware of the Taboo, Harry and Hermione say Voldemort's name without the Fidelius Charm being broken on 12 Grimmauld Place or even the Death Eaters appearing to be aware that the Taboo was crossed. This directly contrasts the result of Harry saying the name while in the tent, which was followed immediately by the enchantments and charms placed there disappearing and a team of Snatchers Apparating outside. The Fidelius Charm seems, therefore, to not only render those residing in the charmed location as undetectable as the location itself, but does not transmit information which could counter the charm (such as speaking a Taboo name) outside its sphere of influence.
- It is also worth noting that, when Dumbledore died, Snape would have become a primary Secret-Keeper. Therefore, he should have theoretically been able to tell the Death Eaters the the location of Grimmauld Place. However, it was not until Hermione accidentally leading Yaxley to the place did the Death Eaters (possibly) discover it. Snape either must've chosen not to reveal the location because of his secret loyalty to the Order, or may have been unable to reveal the location because of the Tongue-Tying Curse cast by Alastor Moody.
"Fidelis" is Latin, meaning trustworthy and faithful.

The Kisutu Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday adjourned the sedition case facing Mwananchi Communications Limited (MCL) Group Managing Editor Theophil Makunga, Tanzania Daima Managing Editor Absalom Kibanda and columnist Samson Mwigamba.
The case was adjourned until May 15, this year, by Resident Magistrate Bingi Mashabala because Resident Magistrate Walialwande Lema, who was supposed to preside at the case was attending a seminar.
Makunga is charged alone with printing the seditious article, while Kibanda and Miwgamba are charged for publishing a seditious article in the tabloid.
The accused, who are now charged under section 32(1)(a) of the Newspapers Act (as amended 2002) but before were charged under section 46(b), 55(10)(a) and 35 of the Penal Code (as amended in 2002).
According to the public prosecutor, Kibanda and Mwigamba allegedly published in Tanzania Daima tabloid (Issue No. 2553 of November 30, 2011) under a headline 'Waraka maalum kwa askari wote' (meaning "a special letter to all security forces") intended to cause disaffection against the lawful authority through the 'Kalamu ya Mwigamba' column.
The case yesterday appeared for a preliminary hearing.

Governor Perdue's veto of a bill to repeal the Racial Justice Act has a grandmother in the east upset.
That's because it means Marcus Douglas Jones Sr., one of six men in Onslow County on death row, can now go through with claims on the act. In 1999, Jones shot his wife, Benita, and his 14-year-old stepson, Marvin Chase Thomas, before turning the 12-gauge shot gun on himself. A jury found him guilty and the judge imposed the death penalty. However, Jones filed a claim with the Racial Justice Act claiming discrimination. That claim now has to be considered. It's something his victim's family cannot stomach.
"He was sentenced on his birthday- on little Marvin's birthday. If it gets changed there ain't been no justice done," said Marvin;s grandmother
Della Futrell.
District attorney's across the state urged the governor to repeal the Racial Justice Act, which allows death row inmates to use statistical data from across the state to show discrimination in their case.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, May 3, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A truck was stolen from a local dealership -- right as the surveillance company watched and called dispatch to report the crime.
Surveillance photos show the thieves in action, stealing a brand new pickup truck from Gordon Chevrolet Monday night.
The supervisor for the security company reported trying to call dispatch multiple times, only to get a busy signal even as the crooks drove the truck away.
"With the screenshots they have, with the time stamp -- they were calling us and they talked to us right while the people were on scene. And we dispatched while the people were on scene," explained Dominick Nutter, Augusta's 911 Center director.
The surveillance photo shows the truck being stolen at 9:13 p.m. Richmond County dispatch phone records show a call connected just one minute later.
And EMS records show deputies arriving to the dealership three minutes after that at 9:17 p.m.
"So ... it was simultaneous. So if they did get a busy signal, it was only seconds," Nutter explained.
Whether a quicker response time could have prevented this theft is anyone's guess, but Nutter says a busy signal doesn't happen often.
"It is rare that there's a busy signal," he said. "But that could occur, but it's very rare that that happens. And normally if it happens, it'll clear up within 30 to 60 seconds."
Because Gordon Chevrolet's security company is located outside of Augusta, the company had to contact dispatch.
But Nutter says for folks here in here in Augusta -- to always call 911 during an emergency.
"For a theft or any emergency, they call 911," he said. "You will not get a busy signal on a 911 line."

The Declasse Sabre Turbo is a muscle car featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto V.
3D Universe
Other than the presence of a racing stripe, the Sabre Turbo appears largely the same as a standard Sabre, down to the rims. The GTA Vice City rendition of this vehicle appears only in red and striped in white color (this is fixed to the car in the .txd file in gta3.img) whereas in GTA Vice City Stories, it appears in several colors, while retaining a racing stripe that is constantly light green. In GTA Vice City Stories Cholo Sabre looks the same as Sabre Turbo only it has yellow color with white stripe.
HD Universe
The Sabre Turbo looks almost identical to its predecessor, the Sabre GT. Minor differences include shinier chrome and slightly more aggressive arch flares. The Sabre Turbo is argued frequently to be a 1970 Chevelle, when in fact it also shares some similarities with the 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass. The most obvious similarities the Cutlass shares with the Sabre Turbo is the identical dual bar vertical tallights, and chrome headlight housing. The Sabre Turbo in GTA: V is referred to as a very high performance muscle car of its age, so Rockstar likely used the Chevelle 454 Big Block, the Chevelle with the largest engine, for inspiration.
3D Universe
Compared to a regular Sabre, the Sabre Turbo is capable of better acceleration, top speed and cornering, and emits a different engine sound from its stock counterpart. Due to its modified engine, the car also emits a noise associated with vintage turbo-charged engines (possibly a turbocharged V8 with multi-barrel carburetor). In GTA Vice City, it is an excellent car for street racing, as it's as competitive as more modern sports cars like Banshee, Infernus or Stinger, despite its rather soft suspension.
In GTA Vice City Stories, its performance traits are similar to that of the Polaris V8.
HD Universe
In GTA V, the Sabre Turbo's performance is on par with the more modern muscle cars such as the Dominator and the Gauntlet, although its softer suspension makes the car somewhat twitchy, making it un-recommendable in tight races and chases, and also to beginners, or anyone with a low driving skill. It can be assumed that it shares its drivetrain with the Sabre GT, which means it features the exceptionally powerful 9-litre (550 ci) turbocharged V8 coupled to a long-throw 5-speed semi-auto manual transmission. This engine has enough torque to put any chassis under stress, and here it's no exception. Coupled with the fact that the long transmission makes anticipating the boost difficult, it could be said that this car should be kept on the freeway, where a driver can get the most out of the car's massive power.
- GTA Vice City
- Appears on the first floor of Sunshine Autos when the second list is completed.
- GTA Vice City Stories
- Parked in a parking lot by Escobar International Airport in Viceport.
- Always parked outside the smuggling empire sites owned by the player.
- Starts to spawn consistently after the player has completed Trevor's Minutemen Strangers and Freaks side-mission strand.
- Appears in Paleto Bay (eg. One spawns on the side of the road in front of the tatoo parlour).
- Spawns more commonly in Downtown Los Santos when the player is driving another muscle car. E.g. Dominator, Gauntlet, or Phoenix.
Notable Owners
- GTA Vice City
- The Sabre Turbo plays the radio station Wildstyle by default when entered in GTA Vice City.
- In the GTA Vice City Intro, you can see a clip of a Sabre Turbo with twin taillights on both sides, as opposed to the game version, which has just a single taillight on both sides.
- A unique Sabre Turbo can be obtained in GTA Vice City, during the mission The Driver.
- Even though the Sabre Turbo in GTA Vice City Stories has dual exhaust pipes, exhaust fumes only come from the right pipe.
- In GTA V, the Sabre Turbo was used to show off the modification aspects of the game.
- In GTA V, the frobt license plate frame reads "Sabre GT" on top and "Turbocharged" on the bottom.
