RE NEW SUSPECT OWEN REYNOLDS

---

F. W. GILLETTE, 14042 South Cornuta Street, Bellflower, California, directed a letter to the Los Angeles Office and was subsequently interviewed. He advised as follows:

He is of the opinion that OWEN REYNOLDS, a person with whom he worked in the early 1950's is a good likeness to the Unknown Subject in this matter. He bases this opinion on the fact that the mouth, nose, and hairline of the artist's conception resembles those of REYNOLDS. He recalls REYNOLDS was once married and resided in Seattle, Washington, and had claimed to have survived three air crashes while serving in the United States Air Force during World War II. Following his discharge from the Air Force, REYNOLDS became a meat cutter, which is also GILLETTE's occupation, and he became rather closely asso- ciated with REYNOLDS, while they worked several months together in the southern area of Los Angeles County.
