RE: JASON THOMAS LANGSETH SUB NUMBER 327
Re San Francisco airtel to Seattle, dated January 24, 1977.
For the information of the San Francisco Division, LANGSETH was suggested as a suspect in this matter on February 9, 1972. LANGSETH is described as follows:
Name: JASON THOMAS LANGSETH Race: Caucasian Sex: Male Height: 5'10" to 6'0" Weight: 165 pounds Build: Medium Hair: Black Eyes: Blue Date of Birth: August 3, 1944 Place of Birth: Borger, Texas [REDACTED] [REDACTED]
On February 17, 1972, LANGSETH was interviewed by the FBI in Los Angeles, California. It was noted at that time that he does bear a resemblance to the artist's conception of UNSUB in this matter and that LANGSETH advised he was formerly a paratrooper in the military. LANGSETH claimed no knowledge whatsoever of captioned

hijacking and stated he would cooperate fully with the FBI's investigation. LANGSETH claimed he was employed as a salesman by Abco Chemicals in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and worked the entire day of November 24, 1971, in that capacity. LANGSETH could not recall any specific contacts he made, stating he left [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Colorado Springs, about 9:00 a.m. and then returned about 4:00 or 4:30 p.m. LANGSETH advised that he was required, as part of his employment with Abco, to submit at the end of each week to Abco headquarters, in Irwin, Pennsylvania, records containing dates and names of persons contacted in Colorado Springs, during the previous week.

Investigation at Colorado Springs, Colorado, revealed LANGSETH resided with [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Colorado Springs, from September 16, 1971, through January 11, 1972. LANGSETH maintained checking and savings accounts at the Academy Boulevard Bank, Colorado Springs, but no significant account activity noted with the exception of $1,200 deposit on December 30, 1971. There was no safety deposit box rented at that bank by LANGSETH.

[REDACTED] of the [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Colorado Springs, advised after viewing the artist's conception of UNSUB in this matter, stated that in her opinion it did not resemble LANGSETH.
---
A copy of LANGSETH's weekly reports were obtained from Abco, Inc. in Irwin, Pennsylvania, and attempts by Agents at Colorado Springs, Colorado, to verify LANGSETH's location on November 24, 1971, proved negative in that some of the addresses listed were not valid and others, although valid, personnel at the various locations could not remember LANGSETH.

On September 5, 1972, NORJAK eye witness [REDACTED] [REDACTED] stated after viewing a photograph of LANGSETH that he was not identical to UNSUB in this matter.

In view of the apparent discrepancy between LANGSETH's age at the time of the hijacking, i.e. 27 years old, and the age UNSUB was thought to be at the time of the hijacking, that of approximately 45 years old, no further investigation will be conducted concerning LANGSETH at this time; however, should any new information come to the attention of the San Francisco Division, which would indicate that LANGSETH should be rein- vestigated as a suspect in this matter, San Francisco is directed to advise Seattle of this new information and conduct investigation deemed appropriate.
