Re Seattle memo of SA [REDACTED b6/b7C] 1/5/72.

---

On January 12, 1972, [REDACTED b6/b7C] Bel-Vue Tavern, 10128 Main, Bellevue, Washington, was interviewed. [REDACTED b6/b7C] advised that she has known [REDACTED b6/b7C] for about 5 or 6 years. She described him as being somewhat over 50 years of age, 6' 3", 180 or less, build very skinny, hair extremely thin, turning gray.

When shown the composite photo of the hijacker, [REDACTED b6/b7C] stated that the individual depicted in no way resembles [REDACTED b6/b7C]. She further advised that [REDACTED b6/b7C] has given no indication of newly found wealth. In fact, he not only has difficulty paying his bar tab, but in addition, since the [REDACTED b6/b7C] he works for is on the verge of going out of business, [REDACTED b6/b7C] has indicated to her his intention to collect unemployment compensation. [REDACTED b6/b7C] further characterized [REDACTED b6/b7C] as "a nice guy who occasionally goes over the deep end, but who is certainly not smart enough to have pulled off a caper like this one."

---

[REDACTED b6/b7C], Bellevue, Washington, was interviewed and furnished the following information:

He is a regular customer at the Bel-Vue Tavern and knows [REDACTED b6/b7C] very well. In his opinion, [REDACTED b6/b7C] in no way resembles the composite picture of the hijacker. The man he knows is older, has less hair, and very different facial features.
