Re: SUSPECT - JAY WHITEFORD

---

WHITEFORD became a suspect on the basis of information furnished by the Mercer Island Branch of the Seattle-First National Bank, due to the fact that WHITEFORD is in the aerial photography business and had made application for a $50,000 loan prior to the hijacking, and although the loan was turned down about a week after NORJAK, WHITEFORD seemed to be quite unconcerned, although the lack of money would be quite injurious to his business. Further WHITEFORD is a pilot and because of his business in map making, is familiar with the terrain in the State of Washington.

On 1/17/72, pictures which had been made a few days prior while WHITEFORD was in the Mercer Island Branch of the above bank, were made available to the Seattle Office of the FBI.
