SE 164-81

---

believed unsub was not well prepared for the hijacking and had not thoroughly thought the hijacking out, he most pro- bably always carries a small pocket knife with him.

---

The following information tends to indicate unsub was somewhat conservative in his thinking and dress:

1. Short style hair

2. Age mid 40's

3. Dark colored suit, dark colored raincoat, white shirt, narrow black tie.

4. Unsub did not swear and showed a great deal of respect for the stewardesses on the airline because they were women. (Unsub engaged in a small argument with one of the passengers, as well as experiencing extremely tense and nervous situations, and through it all he never used profane language - this might indicate he is possibly a religious man. Since he did drink, and since he is possibly religious, he probably is not a Baptist or Mormon.)

---

The following information tends to indicate Unsub possibily possessed athletic ability:

1. His physical build was described as average to well built, even though his age was described as in his mid-40's.

2. Unsub exhibited some physical dexterity using his hands and a small knife.

3. Unsub apparently parachuted from an aircraft at night; something that would require no small degree of physical ability.

It is felt unsub possibly maintains his physical well being through regular exercise.
