RE: BEN FRANKLIN STEPHENS
SUB. No. 436
STEPHENS suggested as a suspect because of
physical appearance and life style. It was determined
through logical investigation that STEPHENS' location on
December 24, 1971 most probably was at the home of Mrs.
SAPHRONIA JOHNSON, Big Fork, Montana. STEPHENS photo-
graph shown to three witnesses at Seattle. All three
advised he was not identical with the hijacker, in their
opinion.
In view of the above, no further investigation
concerning STEPHENS is being conducted at this time.
ARMED AND DANGEROUS.
