He did say there were facial similarities but based on the photograph displayed to him of MeCOX, he would be eliminated as a suspect. , A 3rd witness here was s unable to identify McCOY as ‘, the subject of NORJAK. ; ' 2 told Mr. SCHUTZ that in. spite of this, in view of the obvious similarity in. the two cases, together with the | apparent similarities of McCOY¥'s photograph to that of the - artist's sketch, I thought we should immediately establish positively his whereabouts during the pertinent period’ through independent witnesses, and that we would continue the investi- gation endeavoring to determine if McCOY had made a pre~ hijacking flight from Salt Lake city to Portland and return and/or from Portland to Seattle and return.
