NITEL teletype from SAC Butte to Anchorage, Portland, and Seattle offices. An individual in Montana reported that after viewing the composite photograph of the UNSUB published in the Spokane newspaper on November 29, 1971, the composite resembled a known person with ties to the Seattle area. The message requests Anchorage obtain and forward a photograph, Seattle ascertain background information, and Portland check Oregon records for background and photo.
