All family or possible suspects contacted should be advised that this is merely another investigative step following advancement in technologies. No mention of the recovery of DNA evidence should be made. Care should be given so persons contacted are not lead to believe that they or their family member are a suspect of great interest in this case. Unless specifically requested in lead, no interviews are needed at this time, other than appropriate FD-302 to document DNA samples. Media discussions should be avoided. Refer any media inquiries without comment to the Seattle Media Coordinator, SA [REDACTED] [REDACTED] at [REDACTED] Any follow up leads to obtain these samples should be set by receiving offices with a copy to Seattle.
If anyone is uncooperative with this process, advise Seattle.

Phase II unresolved suspects:
1. JASON T. LANGSETH (SUB 327) SSN 525-52-5941 DOB 8/3/1934 **Caution - May Be Uncooperative Due to Prior Contact With FBI**
Last known address:905 Fogarty Ave, Shelton, Washington 98584 (10/2003)
LANGSETH was originally identified as a suspect based on information received from two individuals. He resembled UNSUB at the time, has military jump experience, and reportedly discussed committing the "perfect crime" prior to the hijacking. LANGSETH was only partially cooperative during his interviews in 1972 and 1977, and uncooperative when contacted in 1979 and ultimately refused to answer further questions or take a polygraph examination. Alibi information he provided concerning his work activities and travel during November 1971 was proven at least partially false. He was last contacted in January 1979 while living in Campbell, California. Following that contact, LANGSETH retained an attorney and refused a polygraph. In 1993, LANGSETH was again identified as being the UNSUB by an another associate who had viewed an "Unsolved Mysteries" segment about this case. Contact Seattle Case Agent if further details are desired.
Due to the passage of time, it is possible that LANGSETH will now cooperate with a DNA sample.
