OPTIONAL FORM NO. 10 MAY 1962 EDITION GSA FPMR (41 CFR) 101-11.6 UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT Memorandum

TO : FILE (164-81) DATE: 4/12/72

FROM : SAC, SEATTLE Sub 386 SUBJECT: NORJAK

---

On 4/12/72 I called SA HENRY SCHUTZ at the Bureau.

I advised him that the 3 stewardess witnesses in Minneapolis had observed the photograph of RICHARD FLOYD McCOY and advised that he was not identical with the NORJAK subject.

I told him that one witness here had observed certain similarities between the photograph of McCOY and the NORJAK subject; however, this witness, [REDACTED] said that if McCOY were wearin a wig and had cosmetic makeup, it would change his complexion to a darker shade and there would be more similarity.

Witness [REDACTED] advised that after viewing the photograph of McCOY, he would eliminate McCOY as a suspect in NORJAK. He did say there were facial similarities but based on the photograph displayed to him of McCOY, he would be eliminated as a suspect.

A 3rd witness here was unable to identify McCOY as the subject of NORJAK.

I told Mr. SCHUTZ that in spite of this, in view of the obvious similarity in the two cases, together with the apparent similarities of McCOY's photograph to that of the artist's sketch, I thought we should immediately establish positively his whereabouts during the pertinent period through independent witnesses, and that we would continue the investi- gation endeavoring to determine if McCOY had made a pre- hijacking flight from Salt Lake City to Portland and return and/or from Portland to Seattle and return.

I advised him later some time today we would send him a teletype concerning this matter.
