Re Suspect DONALD OTIS BURNWORTH.

---

Enclosed for Seattle and Oklahoma City are two photographs each of DONALD OTIS BURNWORTH.

[REDACTED], United Airlines (UAL), San Francisco International Airport (SFIA), advised on 3/9/72, that BURNWORTH is a logical suspect in this case, because in his opinion the photograph is an extremely good "look alike" to the artist's conception of Unsub in this case. He was a pilot in the United States Air Force and was employed as a civilian pilot by the Air Force, as well as by the Federal Aviation Administration. He has been employed since 10/64 by UAL as a pilot and is currently on leave of absence and not scheduled to return to work until 8/24/72. [REDACTED] stated that he has been somewhat of an employment problem and has had numerous financial [REDACTED] [REDACTED] problems. According to [REDACTED] BURNWORTH has had financial difficulties and has not been employed since approximately August of 1971. According to [REDACTED] BURNWORTH's present whereabouts are unknown, and the only way to contact him is through his mother's address, 1611 Sheffeld Road, Oklahoma City.
