believed unsub was not well prepared for the hijacking, and had not thorou[guess: ghly] thought the hijacking out, he most pro- bably always carries a small pocket knife with him.
---
The following information tends to indicate unsub was somewhat conservative in his thinking and dress:
1. Short style hair
2. Age mid 40's
3. Dark colored suit, dark colored raincoat, white shirt, narrow black tie.
4. Unsub did not swear and showed a great deal of respect for the stewardesses on the airline because they were women. (Unsub engaged in a small argument with one of the passengers, as well as experiencing extremely tense and nervous situations, and through it all he never used profane language - this might indicate he is possibly a religious man. Since he did drink, and since he is possibly religious, he probably is not a Baptist or Mormon.)
---
The following information tends to indicate Unsub possibly possessed athletic ability:
1. His physical build was described as average to well built, even though his age was described as in his mid-40's.
2. Unsub exhibited some physical dexterity using his hands and a small knife.
3. Unsub apparently parachuted from an aircraft at night; something that would require no small degree of physical ability.
---
It is felt unsub possibly maintains his physical well being through regular exercise.
