[REDACTED] was supposed to be in the Little Rock area and that office was having difficulty in locating her. BIBLER stated there is a dire need to have these persons contacted immediately and results furnished Seattle by 9AM, PST. There is some difficulty with the PD and they are fighting a time problem.

STEELE and another SA presented themselves at the PD and in the Office of the Chief were advised by an Assistant Chief and Sgt. that an informant of a Seattle Officer alleges that the hijacker is now in Seattle, that he had "washed" the pay off ransom money, destroying all but $70,000. This man[REDACTED]

The informant related that this person also had a good knowledge of aircraft[REDACTED]. The only[REDACTED]one meeting this criteria is[REDACTED]

The big problem is this, A Sgt. of the Seattle PD, and the local prosecutor have made arrangements with NWA[guess: at] Seattle to fly the Sgt. to Minneapolis and exhibit[REDACTED] photo to the witnesses. If they identify, the local DA intends to file charges. Apparently ASAC BIBLER on learning of this inquired of the Chief as to to their jurisdiction in this matter, and the answer he received was that they would figure out some sort of a charge. The above is the reason why it is so important that if an ident is made, the Bureau do it first.
