EDVINS H. KIPERTS, Apartment 210, 13711 N.E. 10th Place, Bellevue, Washington, was contacted at his employment at The Boeing Company, Seattle, Washington, and he advised as follows:
He recalls that his brother, ARVIDIS KIPERTS, visited him over Thanksgiving holiday, 1971. He specifically recalled that they had Thanksgiving dinner at the Mannings Cafeteria in the University District, Seattle, Washington.
He stated that he did not specifically recall how his brother travelled to Bellevue, Washington, but he was of [guess: the] the opinion that he possibly drove his car since that is the way his brother generally comes to visit him. He recalled, however, that when he got home from work at approximately 5:00 PM on the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving, 1971, his brother was waiting for him at his apartment. He explained that his brother, ARVIDIS, has a key to his apartment and when he visits in Bellevue, Washington, he generally lets himself into the apartment and waits for him to come home.
(It should be noted that Thanksgiving in 1971 was on November 25, and that the Wednesday before Thanksgiving was November 24. It should further be noted that the hijacking of the Northwest Airlines plane was on the evening of 11/24/71).
He recalls that his brother gave him a new Marlin 30-30 caliber lever action carbine and that rifle is still in his possession. He stated that he did not recall the serial number of that rifle but that he will permit any law enforce- ment agency to examine it at any time. He has no information relative to where his brother purchased that rifle or how much he paid for it. H
He did not recall how many days his brother was in Seattle on that trip but that he recalled that he was possibly there several days. He does not know what his brother did during the day time since he, EDVINS KIPERTS, was working and even during the evenings they would each go their own way. He stated, however, that he is certain his brother could not have been involved in the hijacking since he could not have been gone from the apartment more than one or two hours without him knowing it.
