RE: UNKNOWN SUSPECT, WASHINGTON LICENSE [REDACTED]

At 11:50 AM, today, I received an anonymous tele- phone call from a person who described himself as [REDACTED] [REDACTED] but declined to give any further information concerning himself.

This caller advised that he had just seen a person who very much resembled the pictures of the hijacker which had appeared in the local newspapers. This individual was seen in a Mayfair Supermarket at 127 th and Ambaum. The caller noticed that the UNSUB seemed to be pressing a mustache on to his face. It was not know whether the mustache was arti- ficial or whether the person may have been irritated by a sore in the vicinity of his mustache. The caller observed the UNSUB leave the supermarket and get into a creme colored VW license [REDACTED] and drive north on Ambaum until the caller lost the UNSUB.

---

The caller stated that he saw the UNSUB at approximately 11:30 AM and described the UNSUB as 6'1" with dark brown hair possibly having pock marks on the back of his neck. The called was unable to furnish any further identifying information except that the license plate holder had a name something like [REDACTED] Autos.

A DMV check on license [REDACTED] indicates that this ve- hicle is a 1971 VW registered to [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Seattle, with the owner being t[REDACTED]e [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Washington.
