Document reference number header. A redacted witness confirms a physical description of a redacted subject: graying hair on sides, thinning on top, sometimes wore glasses, usually wore a mustache, was a heavy cigar smoker (not Raleigh cigarettes), and had a dark or olive complexion that tans easily. A redacted witness states that the subject has no known training in flying or parachute jumping. The subject once planned something in Colorado that never materialized. The subject served during World War II and suffered an unspecified injury or condition during service; it is unknown whether after-effects persist. A redacted individual states he has been unable to locate the subject in Portland, where the subject was previously seen working. He no longer has the address from the Portland directory. He also does not know the subject's phone or address in Washington, nor the last name or address of another redacted individual. A redacted witness, after viewing the FBI artist's composite sketch, does not believe the Unsub matches the redacted subject if the sketch is accurate. However, the witness states it would not surprise him if the subject were involved in something like this given his unpredictable nature. A redacted witness requests that the FBI notify him if the redacted subject is investigated and cleared as a suspect. The witness felt this would be important for reasons that are partially redacted.
