RE: ARTIST'S CONCEPTION
---
Enclosed is a copy of photo KK5-1 in the Facial Lines Section of the Facial Identification Catalogue, and a copy of the artist's composite of UNSUB.
The following information is being submitted for Bureau review, and the enclosed leads are being set forth on an UACB basis:
On 12/2/71, a key witness, [REDACTED], insisted that the artist's conception was not a good likeness of the hijacker. She requested permission to examine the Facial Identification Catalogue and immediately picked out photograph KK5-1 in the Facial Lines Section stating, "that is him, except for the ears and hair." She explained that the person depicted in that particular photograph resembled the man; however, the ears of the hijacker did not protrude as far from the head and she felt that the hair line should be somewhat lower than that on the man depicted on photo KK5-1. She was very adamant in her insistence that the artist's conception shown to her was not a good likeness of the hijacker.
A comparison of the artist's composite of UNSUB and photo KK5-1 revealed the primary difference between the two photos is UNSUB's composite appears to be a man much younger than the man depicted in photo KK5-1. The man in KK5-1 appears to be in his mid-40s while the composite shows the man in his late 20s or early 30s.
