RE [redacted]

---

[redacted] suggested as suspect by anonymous letter to the Seattle Post Intelligencer. The letter stated [redacted] has recently purchased a new cadillac, License Number [redacted] a [redacted] and several other purchases.

It was determined through Department of Motor Vehicles records that License Number [redacted] was registered to a 1967 Cadillac, owner [redacted]. It was learned that [redacted] was born [redacted] is 5'11", and weighs 175 pounds. A copy of [redacted] driver's license was obtained from Olympia Department of Motor Vehicles and displayed to the three Seattle witnesses who all stated [redacted] was not identical with the hijacker.

In view of the discrepancy between [redacted] physical description and that of Unsub and because [redacted] was not identified by Seattle witnesses, [redacted] is no longer being considered a suspect in this matter.
