Dear Sirs:
With reference to the hijack-ransomed plane just before Thanksgiving.
I would like to suggest a remotely possible lead to the people involved in this crime. I do it quite diffidently because the people I suggest are fellow employees at Rubens & Pratt, consulting engineers.
One person, Ray Ingold, 29008 22nd S., Auburn is an electrical engineer who has worked at R&P for less than a year. He bears a certain resemblance to the sketch of the person who hijacked the plane although he may be taller than the description indicates. 
The other,Robert R. Irwin, 6702 227 St. S.W., Mountlake Terrace, is a comparatively new employee and is a private pilot and has his own plane.
It is most probable that these people are not involved, but regardless of the outcome of any investigation I do not want my name mentioned at any time in any way.
