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 Bureau advised by teletype dated 12/17/71 as follows:

"It is expected the Seattle Office will continue to give this matter close supervisory attention and insure investigation is conducted promptly and thoroughly."

In view of this, the enclosed information is being submitted in memorandum form, first for supervisor evaluation and approval prior to being forwarded to the Bureau for approval.

A key witness, [REDACTED], was very adamant in her insistence that the artist's conception was not a good likeness of the hijacker. In an FD-302 dated 12/2/71, [REDACTED] stated that the coneption was not, in her opinion, a good likeness of the hijacker. She requested permission to examine the Facial Identification Catalogue and immediately picked out photo #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 photo closely 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.
