ALVIN CURTIS HARTLEY was contacted at his residence, the [REDACTED] of Rangely, telephone number 675-2085, on April 24, 1973, and immediately advised the identity of the interviewing Agent and furnished a copy of the "Interrogation; Advice of Rights" form. HARTLEY was informed that the FBI was conducting an investigation in an effort to determine the identity of the hijacker of the Northeast Airlines Flight #305, which was hijacked on November 24, 1971. He was informed that in view of his physical description and previous experience as a paratrooper, that he had been considered as one of the suspects. HARTLEY read the "Interrogation; Advice of Rights" form and said that he was very willing to talk about aircraft hijackings as he had never had anything to do with an aircraft hijacking, but that he did not wish to sign the form.
HARTLEY advised that he is self-employed as a dredger in the mining business and during the year of 1971, stayed primarily in Las Vegas, Nevada. He stated that he had a camper truck and parked the camper at the [REDACTED] [REDACTED] in Las Vegas. He advised he travelled fairly widely, at times residing with his mother, Mrs. EDNA SPIRE, nee ROGERS, 2444 North 14th Street, in Tuscon, Arizona. He stated that during 1971, he did travel from time to time to Reno, Nevada, and on one occasion, travelled up to Van Coover, British Columbia, only in reference to mining operations. HARTLEY advised he was hazy on dates, and could not remember specifically what he was doing on November 21, 1971, but did recall that during August, or September, 1971, he had fallen from a horse and broke his left wrist. He stated he had trouble with the wrist having fallen on one occasion after he had the cast on where he reinjured it. He stated a [REDACTED] address unrecalled, a general practitioner in Las Vegas, treated him for the broken wrist and that he had a cast on the wrist for approximately five months. He advised that to the best of his recollection, the cast would have been removed during January, or February, 1972.
