RE: SUSPECT OWEN MURRAY REYNOLDS.

On 7/26/73, FRED W. GILLESPIE positively identified a photograph of OWEN MURRAY REYNOLDS, California Driver's License Number Y56661, as identical to the OWEN REYNOLDS with whom he worked in the early 1950's and whom GILLESPIE believed resembled the artist's conception of the unknown subject in this matter. It was subsequently ascertained by the Los Angeles Division that OWEN MURRAY REYNOLDS is currently employed at the Balboa Market, 1510 Balboa Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. Payroll records as made available by [REDACTED] b6 [REDACTED] Balboa Market, revealed OWEN MURRAY b7C REYNOLDS received regular wages of $198 for the week of 11/20/71 through 11/27/71. [REDACTED] advised REYNOLDS would have been off on Thanksgiving Day, 11/25/73, however, and would have had two regular days off besides Thanksgiving Day during that week. He stated that the day before Thanks- giving, 11/24/73, REYNOLDS would have been required to work

because this is one of the heaviest days of the year in the meat department and REYNOLDS is employed as one of the two meat cutters in the store. He added that should REYNOLDS have been absent on the day before Thanksgiving, it would have definitely resulted in a notation to that effect in the payroll records.

In view of the above, it does not appear REYNOLDS warrants further consideration as a possible suspect in this matter at this time and all offices discontinue.

ARMED AND DANGEROUS.
