Re: Skyjacker

He definitely is Jack Linkletter who less than two weeks before was in Woodland Hills [REDACTED]

[REDACTED] Your artist drawing is very accurate because this is exactly the way he looked without toupee, same glasses and thick brown makeup to make his complexion olive. Also I thought he had on the tip of his nose a plastic band to give that pinched look. However the makeup didn't cover the warts near his nose and mouth.

Although he says he never will be caught, he wants to be found, wanted me to recognize him by the composite drawing. He says he never had a speeding ticket, he has not driven a car for several years now, does ride a motorcycle and fly a plane. The McClellans and Haun landing strips are well known to him. His sister Diane did mention three days before her death that these landing strips were used for narcotic traffic, also there was a death connected which would have been over two years ago. What Jack is doing is running away from two cold-blooded murderers, his father Art and his brother Robert. He Jack, was booby-trapped to be with them the night of the Tate murders as were some people who lived at the Spahn Ranch. The actual killings were at the hands of Art and Robert, Jack running from the Tate residence [guess: certainly] [guess: one] block.
