[REDACTED] was shown the color composite of Unsub and said that this drawing did not resemble COOPER as much as that which appeared in the Post Intelligencer. She added that the main reason COOPER resembled Unsub was that they both wore sunglasses of the same type. [REDACTED] said that she had seen COOPER only once when he [REDACTED] [REDACTED] She stated that COOPER was rather devious in his handling of the business deal and although she had no specific reason to suspect his involvement in Norjak she believed that he was capable of such a thing due to his "natural devious nature as a real estate salesman".
