He has also been a patient or inmate at Western State Hospital, a mental hospital, Stillicoom, Washington, on several occasions. He had been a diver in the U. S. Navy during World War II, but she never knew of him having any interest or involvement in sky diving.

LA FONTAINE had previously been [REDACTED - b6/b7C/b7D] [REDACTED - b6/b7C/b7D]

She has no knowledge of his present occupation, if any, but the last time she talked to him on the phone in late 1974, he indicated that he was logging.

About three years ago, LA FONTAINE alleged he had been seriously injured while logging in the woods when a tree fell on him and allegedly smashed a vertebra. She thought this was about three years ago, but paid little attention to it as she considered him a pathological liar.

She never knew LA FONTAINE to use an alias. She believes that he is receiving a Veterans Administration pension as a result of World War II injury. He can get very violent at times and can be dangerous. He has attempted suicide.

She had never seen the sketch of the skyjacker until the issue of the Chicago Tribune dated November 24, 1974, but immediately felt the sketch definitely resembled ROBERT MAXIM LA FONTAINE, described above. She also displayed the sketch to [REDACTED - b6/b7C/b7D] and they likewise believed the sketch closely resembled ROBERT MAXIM LA FONTAINE.
