[REDACTED] Minnesota, who is employed as a Stewardess for Northwest Airlines (NWA), was interviewed at the Burlington Hotel, 15th Street and Thomas Circle, N.W., Washington, D.C., where she was staying between flights. It is noted that [REDACTED] was a witness to the hijacking of NWA Flight 305 which occurred on November 25, 1971.
[REDACTED] was exhibited the following photo- graphs which were displayed in the indicated order:
1. [REDACTED] 2. [REDACTED] 3. Unknown white male wearing sunglasses and black and white knit cap. 4. [REDACTED] 5. Unknown white male wearing sunglasses and open-neck sportshirt. 6. [REDACTED] 7. [REDACTED]

[REDACTED] advised that she could not posi- tively identify any of the above photographs as being identical with the hijacker of Flight 305. However, she stated that photograph number 3 (the white male wearing sunglasses and black and white knit cap) resembled the hijacker more closely than any of the approximately 300 photographs she has observed to date in connection with this matter. She specifically noted similarities between the hijacker and photograph number 3 in the mouth, nose, lips, and style of sunglasses. She further stated that the hijacker's face was thinner than the individual depicted in photograph number 3.
---
[REDACTED] noted that a more positive identi- fication might be possible if the individual depicted in photograph number 3 were not wearing a cap.
---
[REDACTED] was subsequently recontacted on April 24, 1972, at which time she was exhibited a photograph of a bare-headed white male individual wearing sunglasses. She advised that this photograph did not resemble the [guess: hijacker].
