Re Seattle memo of SA [REDACTED] 1/5/72.
On January 12, 1972, [REDACTED] Bel-Vue Tavern, 10128 Main, Bellevue, Washington, was interviewed. [REDACTED] advised that she has known [REDACTED] for about 5 or 6 years. She described him as being somewhat over 50 years of age, 6' 3", 180 or less, build very skinny, hair extremely thin, turning gray.
---
When shown the composite photo of the hijacker, [REDACTED] stated that the individual depicted in no way resembles [REDACTED]. She further advised that [REDACTED] has given no indication of newly found wealth. In fact, he not only has difficulty paying his bar tab, but in addition, since the [REDACTED] he works for is on the verge of going out of business, [REDACTED] has indicated to her his intention to collect unemployment compensation. [REDACTED] further characterized [REDACTED] as "a nice guy who occasionally goes over the deep end, but who is certainly not smart enough to have pulled off a caper like this one."
---
[REDACTED], Bellevue, Washington, was interviewed and furnished the following information:
He is a regular customer at the Bel-Vue Tavern and knows [REDACTED] very well. In his opinion, [REDACTED] in no way resembles the composite picture of the hijacker. [The] man he knows is older, has less hair, and very different facial features.
