BILLIE LEE MC GILL, Room 184, Sands Hotel, 581 East 100 North, St. George, Utah, was advised of the identity of [REDACTED] as a Special Agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the fact that Special Agent [REDACTED] desired to interview him concerning the hijacking of a Northwest Air- lines Flight [guess: #05], occurring on November 24, 1971. Accompanying Special Agent [REDACTED] was Chief of Police JOE HUTCHINGS, St. George Police Department.
MC GILL at the onset of the interview was advised of his rights by Special Agent [REDACTED] as contained on the executed warning and waiver form. MC GILL thereafter provided the following information:
It should be noted that MC GILL was extremely sluggish, almost incoherent in some of his answers and would respond differently to the same question numerous times during the interview.
MC GILL was asked by Special Agent [REDACTED] to provide his whereabouts on November 24 and 25, 1971; namely, Wednesday and Thursday of November of 1971. MC GILL first indicated that he was in Des Moines, Iowa, at his residence, the address of which he could not recall. When informed by Special Agent [REDACTED] that investigation indicated he possibly was in Alhambra, California, on Thanksgiving Day of 1971, MC GILL stated that it is possible he could have been. MC GILL later changed this statement that he had been in Des Moines, Iowa, or at Alhambra, California, on November 24 or 25, 1971, to state that he simply could not remember.
MC GILL indicated throughout the interview that he was willing to answer any and all questions to the extent of his memory.
MC GILL stated he has been out of work for approx- imately 18 months, following his resignation as Deputy Director of the Narcotics Bureau for the State of Iowa. He indicated that he had been given the ax because of his drinking problem.
