WEEKLY SUMMARY

As the result of the Seattle file review currently in progress, the following investigation has been initiated:

On the premise that unsub parachuted successfully into the previously calculated area of southwest Washington, it is spectulated he would have buried the money and his parachute and then hiked to the nearest road or highway. From there, he would most probably have walked to the nearest phone booth and called a friend or relative for the purpose of being picked up.

Based on the above, all the pay phones surrounding the calculated drop area within reasonable walking distance, i.e., 15 miles, are being checked for long distance phone calls made during the evening of 11/24/71 and on the morning of 11/25/71.

At the present time the following leads are contemplated:

1. Obtain the names of the subscribers to all telephone numbers called during the above mentioned time period.

2. Compare these names with those in NORJAK indices.

3. Discretely obtain photographs of those subscribers that appear to be possible suspects through the Department of Motor Vehicles and local police records.

4. Interview subscribers still considered as suspects to determine nature of call on the date in interest and in addition, show the artists composit of unsub to determine if it is familiar to them.

ARMED AND DANGEROUS.
