I believe [REDACTED] Tacoma, Wash. 98406, should be checked out as a possible suspect in the hijacking because he: (1) is a sky diver, (2) was absent for at least three days over Thanksgiving, (3) is somewhat similar to the picture and description, (4) is a loner, (5) has a late model T-Bird Wa Licence [REDACTED] Mason County license may indicate he is familiar with southwest Washington.
