RE: [REDACTED] - SOURCE

Reference memo of SA THOMAS J. MANNING dated 4/17/72.

On 4/24/72, [REDACTED] Washington, was exhibited a composite drawing of the unsub in this matter after which he stated that he could not be sure if the person he saw on November 26, 1971 was identical to the composite drawing or not.

---

[REDACTED] advised that on 11/26/71 at approximately 9:30 a.m. he observed a person whom he describes as white male, 6' tall, medium build; dark complexion; wearing a brown suit and a brown felt hat, carrying a briefcase, standing on the edge of the road near Amboy, Washington approximately one-tenth of a mile from the Eaton Road and County Road 16 junction. He further advised that this individual did not appear as though he had been walking through the brush.

---

Because of the distance from the prime search area to where [REDACTED] observed the individual two days after the skyjacking and because of the time lapse between the skyjacking and the date he observed the individual, it is recommended that no further investigation be conducted regarding this matter.
