On 11-29-71 [redacted - b6/b7C/b7D], Tacoma, Washington telephoned he wanted to see an agent about instant case. Upon arrival he stated after seeing the UNSUB's sketch on TV and in the Seattle PI newspaper thought it was a strong resemblance of RALPH L. GRIFFIN. He stated GRIFFIN had been in the Tacoma area recently as a representative of R & J Fire Preventative Service, Everett, Washington and that he had cashed several closed account checks in the community. He said he had one of the checks from GRIFFIN and that he recalled GRIFFIN stating that he had been a parachutist in the military at one time and further that he reportedly "hung around Sea-Tac".

He pointed out the general description of GRIFFIN fitted that of the UNSUB in this matter. He said that GRIFFIN had the checking account at the NB of C, Seattle, Washington but he did not recall which branch he had his account at prior to closing it.

LEAD AT Seattle and Everett, Washington

Will attempt to ascertain the identity of GRIFFIN and develop back ground information in order to evaluate if he is identical to the UNSUB.
