Header of a US Government memorandum from a Special Agent (name redacted) to SAC Seattle, dated 12/28/73, regarding the NORJAK case (FBI file 164-81). An informant contacted the FBI on 12/13/73 by phone to suggest a suspect in the NORJAK case. The informant noted the suspect looks identical to a sketch published in the newspaper on the anniversary of the hijacking, flies constantly throughout the US, and is therefore familiar with Boeing 727 aircraft. The informant was reluctant and asked for discretion. The informant explained the suspect is associated with a California entity located in San Diego, where the suspect resides. Additional details about the suspect's recent activities are redacted. The suspect previously worked at Allstate Insurance and in September 1973 took a new position that also involves constant flying throughout the US. On approximately 12/6/73 the suspect was in Tacoma. During a lunch meeting, an anniversary news article about the hijacking was shown, and the suspect's resemblance to the composite drawing was immediately noted by multiple individuals at the company. Footer section containing dictation initials (JAG:jms), number of copies (2), a continuation notation, an approval signature/initial, FBI case sub-file number 164-81-6031, and standard government form footer text.
