[REDACTED b6, b7C, b7D] viewed the composite drawing made of UNSUB in this matter and stated [REDACTED] did not quite resemble this individual but still had a strong feeling he could have been responsible.

[REDACTED] brought this to the attention of the FBI because of a recent newspaper article carried in one of the local newspapers wherein an article concerning this unsolved case had been written. He advised that since the time of that hijacking he had had some type of feeling that [REDACTED] may have been responsible but had not thought about it since reading the recent article in the paper.

This information is submitted to Seattle for whatever action deemed necessary by origin.
