IF NOT ALREADY INSTITUTED BY PORTLAND, THE FOLLOWING INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN AN EFFORT TO BACKTRACK ON THE HIJACKER IN THIS CASE.
ONE. A CANVAS OF THE MOTELS IN THE VICINITY OF THE AIRPORT, DISPLAYING THE ORIGINAL ARTIST'S SKETCH IN WHICH HE WORE GLASSES AND THE REVISED SKETCH WHICH WILL BE FURNISHED TO THE FIELD SHORTLY, SHOWING THE HIJACKER WITHOUT GLASSES. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE SUBJECT STAYED AT ONE OF THE MOTELS BEFORE THE FLIGHT.
TWO. CONTACT THE AUTO RENTAL AGENCIES, SUCH AS HERTZ AND AVIS, AND DISPLAY THE SKETCHES TO THEM ON THE OFF CHANCE THAT THE SUBJECT MIGHT HAVE TURNED IN A RENTAL UNIT ON NOVEMBER TWENTYTHREE OR TWENTYFOUR LAST, OR/IN THE IMMEDIATE TIME AREA.
THREE. CHECK WITH AIRPORT SECURITY FOR ANY POSSIBLE CARS PARKED AT THE AIRPORT THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR SUCH A PERIOD OF TIME AS THEY MIGHT BE CONSIDERED AS A SUSPECT VEHICLE IN THE HIJACK.
