ormed a group to conduct mediation and b6 arbitrations. Because of his "experience" in mediation and arbitration, we asked Robert if bic he wanted to join aur group to set up a web site. He agreed to join our group but provided a very limited resume for our website. He listed BS, BS, JD and LLM but gave no school. He them mentioned mediating 3100 cases but he was ne g but had very little facts to b6 deal with. b7C Our group is composed of professional's in law, contracts, real estate and government. After seeing the History Channel program, I taped the second showing and got our group together to review the tape. We are all in agreement that the man shown on the History Channel, "In Search of, DB Cooper" is Robert Wesley Rackstraw, a member of our mediation group. He was 35 when he was a suspect in the DB Cooper case. That was 1979, and he would be 56, which is his age now. Our concern is that Robert Rackstraw holds himself out as a non practicing attorney, dealing with all the various judges, courts and dispute centers of Riverside and the surrounding areas. He was hired for a short time at UCR Extension as director of Public Law and Policy. The FBI had him arrested for something else and he was a suspect in the DB Cooper case. Our group is very concerned being associated with him, if he has a felony record. Our group has tried to check him out and has been unable to find any law school from which he might have graduated, the address he gives in Lake Elsinore is an industrial park and his military experience is very questionable. The History Channel stated that he was arrested, it did not say convicted. We would like to know if we should be concerned about associating professionally with this man. The group has always been concerned about Robert and his stories but felt it was better to have him on our side, than to have him mad at us because of his mouth and contacts all over the court system. There are a few of us that feel that maybe you did have your man and he talked his way out of the situation. The man is very much a loner. They stated the suspect wore sun glasses, was a chain smoker, had military experience, possible jump and flying experience. Robert matches all of those clues. We have checked and he owns no property in California, he has several different email addresses, and phones that forward to other numbers. Just a strange man. None of us would be surprised if he was DB Cooper. Please let us know if any information on Robert Rackstraw's arrest is opeii to the public i i in a copy. b6 b7C DB Cooper-16044
