[REDACTED] Otero Mills, north of Alamogordo, New Mexico, furnished the following information:

He generally keeps employment records five years and, therefore, anything beyond that would be very shallow. He stated that [REDACTED] worked for this company two or three different times and was last employed here in October, 1977.

In reviewing his sketchy records, [REDACTED] noted that [REDACTED] was employed here in 1971, however, left this employment on April 24, 1971 and was therefore not employed with this company on November 24, 1971. He recalled that when [REDACTED] left here approximately five months ago, he was going to work for a company in Texas. He only socialized with [REDACTED] on one occasion and related that [REDACTED] is an Anglo, a close family man and a very responsible individual. The last time he was employed here he was [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] added that [REDACTED] is also employed with this company.

He knows nothing about [REDACTED] hobbies or outside activities other than the fact that he is a hunter and fisher- man and could not recall if [REDACTED] was ever in the military service. As far as he knows, [REDACTED] is still residing in Cloudcroft, New Mexico and doesn't know if he is employed or not.

[REDACTED] viewed a copy of an artist's conception of the unknown subject in this matter and stated that this photograph was completely unfamiliar to him; and in his opinion, it bears no resemblance whatsoever to [REDACTED] He added that [REDACTED] is a much younger individual.

[REDACTED] felt that [REDACTED] is probably from the Farmington, New Mexico area inasmuch as he was previously employed there as well as in Reserve, New Mexico. To his knowledge, [REDACTED] is not a pilot and he always exhibited a good attitude in his work.
