Commentary by the AI model that transcribed this page. It may bring in context the page itself does not state. The scan is the source; the transcript is machine-generated from it.

Privacy exemption markings repeated along right margin of page. Portland FBI office teletype to Seattle reporting that a Portland witness (Northwest Airlines employee, name redacted) viewed 16 photos including a second photo of the unidentified suspect. The witness selected four photos, including the suspect's, as most resembling the UNSUB but could not make a positive identification. A second Portland NWA witness was not yet available to view photos. A witness from Eugene, Oregon, a fellow passenger during the hijacking, viewed the second suspect photo and identified it as the same one shown to him at 2 AM on April 22, 1972 by Newsweek. He stated this photo strongly resembles the UNSUB more than any of the approximately 500 photos he has viewed, but he could not make a positive identification. Continuation noting that someone contacted the witness by telephone from Seattle after displaying the single photo, advising that other witnesses were also being contacted and shown photos. End of page one of the teletype. FBI filing stamps showing case number, serial number, search/serialization date of April 23, 1972, and FBI Seattle office.
