SA [REDACTED] reinterviewed the girl in the wig store at Bremerton and got a further description of UNSUB's head without the wig. She said he was shiny bald on top; rounded head; sideburns to the bottom of the hear; thin, wispy and greying, with original hair color in medium brown.

---

His hair line ended just above the top of his ears and continued around the back of his head. On the back of his head in the crown area there was one long lock of hair which hung down the back toward the neck. She said that in the picture with the wig, the part he has hanging down the back, is actually UNSUB's and not the wig. She said she teased him about braiding it. She said his ears protruded and he smelled of alcohol and smoke.

---

Pursuant to your instructions I called SA [REDACTED] at the Bureau, asked him to furnish this to the photo people back at the Bureau; have them make us some pictures without the wig based on this description and get them to Seattle by the fastest possible means, tomorrow if at all possible.

He said he would start on it right away.
