Heading: First Encounter with Pinjoli.

Text: 8 When Pinjoli left the bar, approximately five minutes later, Agent Olby and Officer Mortensen approached him. They identified themselves as police officers, displayed their badges, and asked to speak to him, explaining that he was not under arrest and was free to go. Agent Olby asked to see Pinjoli's ticket. The ticket, issued in the name of Sam Antone and purchased with cash, authorized a round trip from Anchorage, Alaska to West Palm Beach, Florida, departing Anchorage on January 30, 1983 with an open return. Agent Olby also learned that Pinjoli was an alien from Yugoslavia, without identification, passport, or immigration papers. Pinjoli explained that he had lost his papers in a swimming pool in Florida, but that Ilazi, who was from Yugoslavia also, had an immigration registration card. When asked, Pinjoli refused to tell the agents how long he had been in Florida. 9 Agent Olby asked Pinjoli to return to the bar and get Ilazi so that Olby could speak to him. Agent Olby and Officer Mortensen accompanied Pinjoli to the bar, but, at Pinjoli's request, waited outside while he went in to get Ilazi. As he entered the bar, Pinjoli glanced over his shoulder to see if the agents were watching him, and then grabbed his right ankle and patted it while looking at Ilazi. Ilazi, acknowledging Pinjoli's signal, leaned over in his chair and did something to his lower leg or foot. 10
