hijacking and stated he would cooperate fully with the FBI's investigation. [REDACTED] claimed he was employed as [REDACTED] by Abco Chemicals in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and worked the entire day of November 24, 1971, in that capacity. [REDACTED] could not recall any specific contacts he made, stating he left [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Colorado Springs, about 9:00 a.m. and then returned about 4:00 or 4:30 p.m. [REDACTED] advised that he was required, as part of his employment with Abco, to submit at the end of each week to Abco headquarters, in Irwin, Pennsylvania, records containing dates and names of persons contacted in Colorado Springs, during the previous week.

Investigation at Colorado Springs, Colorado, revealed [REDACTED] resided with [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Colorado Springs, from September 16, 1971, through January 11, 1972. [REDACTED] maintained checking and savings accounts at the Academy Boulevard Bank, Colorado Springs, but no significant account activity noted with the exception of $1,200 deposit on December 30, 1971. There was no safety deposit box rented at that bank by [REDACTED]

A copy of [REDACTED] weekly reports were obtained from Abco, Inc. in Irwin, Pennsylvania, and attempts by Agents at Colorado Springs, Colorado, to verify [REDACTED] location on November 24, 1971, proved negative in that some of the addresses listed were not valid and others, although valid, personnel at the various locations could not remember [REDACTED]

On September 5, 1972, NORJAK eye witness [REDACTED] [REDACTED] stated after viewing a photograph of [REDACTED] that he was not identical to UNSUB in this matter.

In view of the apparent discrepancy between [REDACTED] age at the time of the hijacking, i.e. [REDACTED], and the age UNSUB was thought to be at the time of the hijacking, that of approximately 45 years old, no further investigation will be conducted concerning [REDACTED] at this time; however, should any new information come to the attention of the San Francisco Division, which would indicate that [REDACTED] should be rein- vestigated as a suspect in this matter, San Francisco is directed to advise Seattle of this new information and conduct investigation deemed appropriate.
