J. E. MILNES, Special Agent in Charge, FBI, Seattle, announced today that the FBI was concentrating its search for the missing hijacker of Northwest Airlines Flight 305 in the vicinity of southwestern Washington in an area generally near Ariel, Merwin, Amboy and Crawford, Washington. Mr. MILNES said the hijacker was described as white, male, American, olive complexion, Latin appearance, black hair, normal hair style parted on left, age middle forties, six feet tall, 170 to 175 pounds, average build, brown eyes. He was wearing a black suit, white shirt, narrow black tie, black rain-type overcoat, black dress suit, and was carrying a dark briefcase.

He is believed to have left the aircraft subsequent to 8:05 p.m. MILNES urged anyone in the public having knowledge of a parachutist landing on the route between Ariel, Washington, and Reno, Nevada, to notify the FBI immediately.

MILNES released an artist's conception prepared by the FBI to the press, saying that the photograph is an excellent likeness of the hijacker's present appearance.
