RE: Suspect WALTER CHARLES SCHERAR, aka William Barnes photos (VO) 164-81-1a

Enclosed for the investigative assistance of Seattle are two photographs of captioned suspect taken by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office in November 1964.

SCHERAR was a former jump master at a parachute school in Lancaster, California, in 1963 and has been described as a master parachute rigger, a heavy smoker of cigarettes, and reportedly lost considerable weight during 1965. He reportedly had a wife, name unknown, in Seattle, Washington, he formerly resided in that city, and was extradited from Los Angeles to the State of Washington in 1963. He has been described by former associates as a daredevil capable of trying anything.

UNSUB SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ARMED AND DANGEROUS.
