Case number and page continuation header. Subject and a redacted associate departed Los Angeles for Seattle on the afternoon of February 22 via Western Airlines, arriving the same evening. They traveled by taxi to the Edgewater Inn where someone was already residing. Two plans were outlined for the UNSUB; one plan involving adjoining rooms at the Edgewater Inn was discarded. An alternate plan at a nearby beach area on Puget Sound was decided upon. On the morning of February 23, a 'driver' was introduced whose name is redacted. He is described as a white male, five feet ten inches, 175 pounds, dark brown hair, well-trimmed full beard, wearing sport clothes and obviously familiar with Seattle. He was driving a new yellow sedan, not a Ford, possibly a Dodge Dart, believed to be a rented car. He transported someone to a nearby location where a white Ford with red interior was rented, then followed them back to a motel. Bates stamp page identifier.
