Re memo of SA ROBERT H. WICK, to Seattle file 164-81, dated February 13, 1973.

Referenced communication advised [REDACTED] should be considered a suspect in this matter because he has been making a number of statements indicating he has unusual wealth and vaguely resembles artist's composite of unsub.

---

All NORJAK eyewitnesses have been repeatedly contacted and have viewed numerous photographs. Up to now, they have all been extremely cooperative, not withstanding the many contacts they have endured, both at work and at home. Based on the above, these witnesses will not be contacted to view photographs unless there is no other way to eliminate a suspect.
