What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

[REDACTED] - SOURCE PHOTO OF UNIDENTIFIED MALE IN BLACK AND WHITE JOCKEY STYLE CAP, DISPLAYED AT SEATTLE TO WITNESSES [REDACTED] WHO DID NOT PICK THE PHOTO AS RESEMBLING HIJACKER. PHOTO WAS SHOWN TO [REDACTED] WHO SAID THE PART OF FACE HE COULD SEE HAD STRIKING SIMILARITY TO HIJACKER AND THAT HE WOULD NOT RULE OUT THIS INDIVIDUAL ALTHOUGH HE APPEARED OLDER THAN HIJACKER.
WITNESS CORD SPRECKEL, SEATTLE, PICKED THIS PHOTO AS VERY MUCH RESEMBLING HIJACKER, BUT STATED HE COULD NOT MAKE A POSITIVE DETERMINATION WITHOUT SEEING ADDITIONAL PHOTOS.

STREET, BARE HEADED, WEARING SUNGLASSES SHOWN TO SAME WITNESSES. [REDACTED] SAYS THE SECOND PICTURE ALSO DOES NOT RESEMBLE THE HIJACKER AS THE MOUTH IS "TOO BROAD" IN BOTH. [REDACTED] SAID THAT BOTH THE FIRST AND THE SECOND PICTURES AS WELL AS A PICTURE SHOWN TO HIM THIS MORNING BY A NEWSWEEK RE- PRESENTATIVE, ALTHOUGH ALL DIFFERENT POSTURES, ARE OF THE SAME INDIVIDUAL. AFTER VIEWING THE PICTURE THIS EVENING, HE DEFINITELY ELIMINATES HIM AS THE HIJACKER.
SPRECKEL SAID THAT BOTH PICTURES DO NOT LOOK LIKE THE SAME MAN, AND THE SECOND PICTURE DOES NOT RESEMBLE HIJACKER AS MUCH AS THE FIRST PICTURE. SPRECKEL SAID HE FEELS THE MAN IN THE FIRST PICTURE IS LIKELY TO BE IDENTICAL WITH THE HIJACKER BUT WOULD NOT MAKE A POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION WITHOUT BETTER QUALITY PHOTOS.
INTENSIVE INVESTIGATION TO IDENTIFY PERSON OR PERSONS IN PHOTOGRAPH CONTINUING. E N D
