ARMED AND DANGEROUS

Re suspect GEDDES EUGENE HARPER; [REDACTED] Sub Number 1042.

GEDDES EUGENE HARPER has been suggested as a suspect by [REDACTED] (protect), who is a [REDACTED] in Redding, California. [REDACTED] suspects HARPER of being identical to UNSUB because, according to [REDACTED] closely resembles the composite photograph of UNSUB, and in addition HARPER's background and lifestyle also fits the type of individual who would commit such a crime, according to [REDACTED]

---

[REDACTED] further advised that HARPER was in the U.S. Army, 101 Airborne Division, and was extremely unpredictable. HARPER died at Roseburg, Oregon, on 10/27/83, of Alcoholic Hepatitis.

---

HARPER was born on 6/20/41, and this would make his 30 years old at the time of the hijacking. Inasmuch as UNSUB in this matter has been described in his mid-40s at the time of the hijacking, no further investigation seems warranted concerning this suspect.

---

It is noted that Sacramento's letter to San Francisco dated 7/24/89, set forth a lead for San Francisco at Fortuna, California, to attempt to locate and interview [REDACTED] [REDACTED] This airtel inadvertently neglected to indicate Seattle as office of origin in this matter. It is thought that San Francisco forwarded results of that lead to the Sacramento Division. In order to resolve this aspect of the investigation, SA [REDACTED] telephonically contacted SSA [REDACTED] FBI, San Francisco. SSA [REDACTED] stated he would have someone check the San Francisco file (164A-220) and furnish the results of any investigation at San Francisco to the Seattle Division.
