[REDACTED] ABOUT 1 OR 2 WEEKS AFTER HIJACKING OCCURRED, THE EX-PARATROOPER MOVED AWAY CLAIMING HE WAS GOING TO PUERTO RICO TO LIVE. [REDACTED] LEFT A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE HE DID. WHEN HE LEFT, HE SOLD ALL HIS FURNITURE AT VERY CHEAP PRICES. THE EX-PARATROOPER WAS DESCRIBED BY [REDACTED] AS WMA, LATE 30'S, APPROXIMATELY 5 FEET 10 INCHES, SLENDER BUILD BUT BIG BONED, SHORT BLACK HAIR, TAN COMPLEXION.
AT THE TIME UNSUB'S ARTIST CONCEPTION DRAWING APPEARED IN LOCAL PAPERS AT TACOMA, [REDACTED] NOTED SOME RESEMBLANCE TO THE EX-PARATROOPER. ALSO IT IS [REDACTED] RECOLLECTION THAT EX-PARATROOPER'S DESCRIPTION GENERALLY SIMILAR TO UNSUB. THIS FACT COUPLED WITH THE FACT THE NEIGHBOR WAS AN EX-PARATROOPER AND THAT HE MOVED AWAY SHORTLY AFTER HIJACKING OCCURRED LEADS [REDACTED] TO BELIEVE HE COULD BE CONSIDERED A POSSIBLE SUSPECT IN CAPTIONED CASE.
