NORJAK
Reurairtel dated 8/7/72.
Bureau artist developed composite drawing of NORJAK Unsub with sunglasses based on interviews with stewardesses [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. On 11/27/71 stewardess [REDACTED], while viewing original sketch prepared, commented that it was "almost 100% like him" and stated she could suggest nothing additional to make sketch a better likeness.
With reference to photo KK5-1 in the Bureau's Facial Identification Catalog, it is noted [REDACTED] indicated on her initial interview it would bear a resemblance to Unsub if modifications were made. She selected ten additional photos as resembling various features of Unsub. This plus the comments and lock-alike photos selected by stewardesse [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] went into the preparation of composite drawing with sunglasses. The sketch was modified to show the eyes when additional witnesses later selected look-alike photos of the eyes.
The attempt to depict the apparent age of Unsub has proven difficult from the beginning since witnesses did not describe age lines or features that lend themselves to the aging process. Preparation of the drawing in color may contribute to the aging factor as well as show the complexion color. In view of [REDACTED] more recent comments, an additional sketch in color and labeled "B" has been prepared by Exhibits Section with and without sunglasses. The "B" sketch is based on photo KK5-1 from the Catalog with changes su[guess: gge]sted by [REDACTED]. Original sketch previously prepared from combined descriptions of several witnesses will be retained in Bureau files.
