RE [redacted]

[redacted] suggested as suspect by anonymous letter b6 to the Seattle Post Intelligencer. The letter stated [redacted] b7C has recently purchased a new cadillac. License Number [redacted] a [redacted] and several other purchases.

It was determined through Department of Motor Vehicles records that License Number [redacted] was registered b6 to a 1967 Cadillac, owner [redacted] . It was learned b7C that [redacted] was born [redacted] is 5'11", and weighs 175 pounds. A copy of [redacted] driver's license was obtained from Olympia Department of Motor Vehicles and displayed to the three Seattle witnesses who all stated [redacted] was not identical with the hijacker.

In view of the discrepancy between [redacted] physical b6 description and that of Unsub and because [redacted] was not b7C identified by Seattle witnesses, [redacted] is no longer being considered a suspect in this matter.
