Re telephone call from ASAC BIBLER, 11/29/71

Referenced phone call advised TONY FERNANDEZ suggested as possible subject in this matter. Check with COP RALPH BENEFIEL who knows FERNANDEZ verywell at Longview, Washington reflected that he does not resemble the composite photograph of the hijacker primarily because he is losing hair on the front of his head. A photograph of FERNANDEZ was obtained from Deputy [REDACTED] Cowlitz Co. SO BENEFIEL also advised that FERNANDEZ is in and out of Longview Washington and from what he has heard is not here too frequently. He advised he saw him about two weeks ago in downtown Longview but has not seen him since then.

A photograph of FERNANDEZ was obtained on 11/30/71 from Deputy [REDACTED] Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office which is the only one available in this area. It is suggested that a photo of FERNANDEZ may be obtained from McNeil Island which would be later that the attached. Further information re the location of FERNANDEZ may be obtained from [REDACTED] Officer, Federal Building, Tacoma, Washington.
