that MASTERSON could have had nothing to do with the captioned matter because of the vast discrepancy in age and physical description. He stated he feels it is merely a ruse, those members of the family desirous of establishing re-identification to bring pressure to bare for such an operation. He stated he was advising the Portland FBI Office inasmuch as members of the family indicated that they were going to take the matter to the FBI since they had been turned down by the sheriff's office.

In view of the above circumstances and considering the considerable discrepancy in age and description, it is not belived necessary for the FBI to take any further action in this matter, and accordingly Portland plans no further action concerning this suspect.
