RE: DOUGLAS BURKE, SUB #545

BURKE suggested as a suspect by [REDACTED], [REDACTED], Seattle, Washington. BURKE has an dishonorable discharge from the service and a juvenile record. BURKE is also a suspect in his wife's homicide. BURKE presently resides at Port Angeles, Washington, and he owns the Burke Rental Shop.

Investigation at Port Angeles revealed the following information concerning BURKE:

Name: DOUGLAS ALBERT BURKE Race: Caucasian Sex: Male DOB: 1/24/36 Height: 6'1" Weight: 160 lbs. Eyes: Brown Address: 718 East Third Port Angeles, Washington

---

A photograph of BURKE was obtained through an investigation by SA ERNEST C. SMITH, Seattle FBI Office. Examination of his photograph reveals BURKE does not resemble the artist's composite of Unsub in this matter. Due to the above and because BURKE would have been thirty-five at the time of the NORJACK, no further investigation is being conducted concerning him.

ARMED AND DANGEROUS
