A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

RE: FRANKLIN JOHN PAINTER, aka Nick Lewis; SUB 766
Re Denver airtel to Seattle, dated 3/24/76.
All investigation in this matter has been completed and there has been no positive results to indicate that PAINTER should be considered a suspect in this matter.
It is noted photographs of PAINTER have been obtained and they do not bear a resemblance to the artist's composite.
In addition, it is noted PAINTER was 35 at the time of NORJAK and his weight is normally listed at 160 pounds. Finally, PAINTER has definite widow's peaks and if he lets his hair grow long, it becomes curly. In view of the obvious discrepancies, as well as any positive information that might indicate he is connected with this crime, as well as the fact that all logical leads have been conducted concerning PAINTER, no further investigation will be conducted concerning him at this time.
ARMED AND DANGEROUS.
