AN 164-59

[REDACTED] Alaska, in 1965. He stated that [REDACTED] was the most [REDACTED] and the case collapsed. BURNS was released from the Anchorage State Jail on 5/17/71 and immediately left Alaska to return to the Portland, Oregon area.

He advised he cannot locate at the moment his reports on the investigation, which would reflect the address of BURNS' father and BURNS' residence in Oregon, but he noted that the Portland Division of the FBI assisted him in his State case and that office will probably have the most current address for BURNS.

[REDACTED] made available a photograph of BURNS taken while BURNS was in confinement in Alaska. [REDACTED] noted the photograph depicts BURNS with a full beard, which, [REDACTED] advised, BURNS grew in the Anchorage jail. He noted again that BURNS was arrested in 1969 on the bank robbery by the Portland Division of the FBI and that Division may be in possession of a photograph depicting BURNS clean-shaven.

[REDACTED] advised he does not know whether BURNS was ever a pilot and/or parachutist.

He described BURNS as being intelligent, confident and entirely capable of pulling off captioned matter.
