PD 164-41 SRR:sao 2

---

As he had read recent accounts of a hijacker obtaining $200,000, he viewed with suspicion the fact that [REDACTED] would make payment for his prescription with a $100 bill and also thought it was suspicious that he would be carrying three or four hundred dollars cash. At this time, he and two other employees of the store, [REDACTED], thought that [REDACTED] faintly resembled the composite picture of the hijacker that they had observed in the newspapers. As a result of this, he decided that it would be appropriate for him to contact the FBI, Portland, and furnish them informa- tion of the transaction by [REDACTED] at Fred Meyer.

---

He described [REDACTED] as being a white, male, height 6'1", having a full head of hair, dark brown in color. He thought his weight to be 180 - 190 pounds and described him as being stocky and muscular in build. He was not wearing eye glasses but he could not recall noting the color of [REDACTED] eyes. He appeared to [REDACTED] to be perhaps [REDACTED].

---

[REDACTED] recalled the person being with [REDACTED] as fitting [REDACTED] same general description as to hair, height, and build, except he thought his age to be in [REDACTED].

---

Upon viewing an artist's conception of the unknown subject hijacker, [REDACTED] advised that [REDACTED] was not identifiable with the unknown subject. He noted that [REDACTED] and he further noted that [REDACTED] in appearance and would appear to be much more [REDACTED] than the unknown subject appeared to be in the composite."

FBI document header showing case file number PD 164-41, dictator/typist initials SRR:sao, and page 2 of the document. A store employee became suspicious of a customer who paid for a prescription with a $100 bill and was carrying several hundred dollars in cash shortly after reports of a hijacker obtaining $200,000. The employee and two coworkers thought the customer faintly resembled the composite picture of the hijacker published in newspapers, prompting him to contact the FBI in Portland about the transaction at Fred Meyer. Physical description of the suspicious customer: white male, 6'1", full head of dark brown hair, 180-190 pounds, stocky and muscular build, no eyeglasses. Eye color not recalled. A second witness recalled the person matching the same general physical description regarding hair, height, and build, but with a different age estimate. Upon viewing an artist's conception of the hijacker, a witness advised that the suspicious customer was not identifiable as the unknown subject, noting differences in appearance compared to the composite sketch.
