RE: JOHN RICHARD MERIT, Sub Number 811

---

Re Los Angeles airtel to New Orleans dated 6/25/76.

Review of New Orleans case captioned [redacted] JOHN RICHARD MERIT, AKA; Bank Robbery Suspects, 00: New Orleans." New Orleans File [redacted] failed to reveal any information to specifically establish the whereabouts of MERIT on 11/24/71. The only information which could possibly establish his whereabouts on 11/24/71, is an interview with [redacted] conducted on 12/29/71 in Forestdale, Alabama, which is referred to in re airtel. No other information exists in this file which specifically states the whereabouts of MERIT on 11/24/71.

In addition, review of New Orleans File [redacted] captioned [redacted] MISSING PERSON, 00: Jacksonville," also failed to develop any specific information as to MERIT's whereabouts on 11/24/71.

ARMED AND DANGEROUS. POTENTIALLY SUICIDAL.
