[REDACTED] stated that [REDACTED] As a result of this [REDACTED] stated that he was able to determine that there is absolutely no similarities in facial features between [REDACTED] and the artist's conception of COOPER. [REDACTED] was also able to determine that [REDACTED] is a non-smoker and possesses none of the characteristics contributed to COOPER by witnesses.

The identity of [REDACTED] as furnished by [REDACTED] describes him as a white male, 5' 10", blue eyes, brown hair, born [REDACTED].

Inasmuch as neither fingerprints nor physical characteristics of [REDACTED] match those of COOPER, no further action is being taken by the Richmond Division in this matter.
