Sheridan 5_15_72 pages 19 attached
that's it

I was always pestering Sheridan for his signature to let us do an FOIA on him...this is almost as nice!
So the FBI treated him as a serious suspect. (don't see this much detail on other suspects in the files?)

It's in Part 25 of the FBI FOIA at the end, if anyone is interested in the source pdf, pages 371 to 389

in his resume to Boeing, even then he was complaining about difficulties publishing a novel.

INTERESTS
I an a voracious reader and read an average of about one book a week .
A majority of the books deal with literature, philosophy and commentaries on current issues.
My favorite sports are hiking, swimming and skydiving. Up until the last two years 1 have been a very ardent gardener.
I have written a great many short stories and poems and have been working on a novel for the past six years.
However, I have not found a publisher interested to publish any of my work.


I also found more detail on the airstairs test of 1963-64. It was the drop test
the air stairs were removed on the test as the picture we have shows

FBI memo mentioning investigation of the '63-'64 air stairs experiment
This is from pages 306 and 307 of Part 25 of the FBI FOIA. Attached

377 NOTE THAT UNLIKE THE PICTURE WE HAVE, THEY SAY THE AIRDROP TEST INVOLVED PARACHUTES. ?? maybe static line in photo that we don't see?


Page 2 has the mention

THE BOEING COMPANY:
   In 1963-1964, The Boeing Company had a team of 20 to 30 engineers and test pilots experimenting with the air stairs of the Boeing 727 to determine the planes adaptability for dropping cargo or personnel. In the tests conducted the air stairs were removed and packages were dropped from the plane using an especially designed chute.
<redacted>
 
  The Boeing Company has furnished the names of their employees who were involved in that experiment and investigation is being conducted to determine if one of these could be the hijacker. They are also being interviewed for any info they may have as to the identity of the hijacker.

They talk about getting some files on 12/6/71 and 12/7/71
that would coincide with shortly after the walk-in tip with the Boeing News article on Sheridan

but then the agent says on the 5/15/72 memo that he's been reviewing it biweekly for almost 6 months.

Since 12/7/71, this file has been reviewed on a bi-weekly basis. The file is still listed in a pending status and negative leads have been set forth for Seattle.

I figure the History Channel folks must have shown Peterson's photos to Tina. Surely they wouldn't blow an easy opportunity to solve the case.

Sheridan really charms women. Alison from HC bonded and asked me to look after him. Ex FBI SA MJF found him fascinating. My wife is a fan too. She was amazed at how much Sheridan reads and how up to date he is on current news and politics. He's opinionated (aren't we all?) but very articulate in explaining and defending his positions. He is a detail guy, knows who is on what Congress and Senate committee, who they are beholden to, how they vote, etc. I'd be happy to look half as good and be thinking half as clearly as Sheridan when I reach 92.

He's got one racy section in his book involving a woman in a bar and an almost fight.

talks about a blonde in Boeing fabrication too, that cut out fiberglass templates.

Who knows how much action Sheridan was getting back in the day..

There's various places that provide data that show it's him

for instance, the education section on his resume: (also his  prior jobs..left that out though)

COLLEGE EDUCATION

February 1947 to June 1949.....<redacted>....
A.A. degree.

University of Missouri.........Columbia, Missouri, ................
September 1949 to June 1952 and September 1953 to February 1954..........majors in English, philosophy and journalism..
B. A. degree.....

Montana State University , Missoula, Montana ...September 1954 to March 1955 and the summers of 1956 and 1957.....minors in creative writing and education.

So it looks like Sheridan was a serious suspect. Serious enough to ask a blue-eyed guy for DNA swab.

Why was he apparently dropped? His alibi was that he was in Nepal when the skyjack occurred, but what I have seen (trekking permit) only establishes that he resided there, not that he was there when the crime occurred. The FBI confirmed that he was in Nepal for the birth of his daughter, but that doesn't prove he was there during the crime.

The FBI wouldn't drop a hot suspect in a super high profile crime without a reason. There must be a reason, likely one that we don't yet know.

If the FBI was willing to review the file of a blue-eyed guy on a bi-weekly basis immediately after the hijack, for 6 months..then I think all the protests about suspects not having blue eyes, really should stop? I mean, what info do you have that the FBI didn't have then?

If anyone can get through to Sheridan, ask him this

"Hey Sheridan, I saw a copy of your resume when you applied to Boeing in April, 1962 (4/27/1962)...You said you had been working even then on a novel for 6 years and no one would publish it. What was that novel about? Do you have a copy of it still?"

I always thought he only had one book in him..but apparently he was writing short stories and even a novel way back then in 1962. Be nice to get some more of his writing from him.

Would fair skinned Yanks living in Nepal likely get a dark tan and be perceived as possibly "Latin" or Mediterranean" here?

Snow, you are a climber, whats the UV exposure like at the altitude Sheridan resided at?

Of course, sunscreen and hats can prevent or reduce tanning.

Sheridan professed to desperately want his latest novel The Idiots Frightful Laughter published, but he found endless reason to reject free assistance in getting it done. I know you guys hate Blevins, but he did offer free editing and publication assistance to Sheridan taking nothing for himself. I also volunteered to help Sheridan get it published but he never would even give me a manuscript. He implied that it was still a work in progress even after it had been offered online. 

I tried to buy a copy but Sheridan pulled it from online sale after I commented on curious parallels between the novel and NORJAK on dropzone.com. Coincidence? Perhaps.

I think Snow and Carr were the only online purchasers. Sheridan implied that Amazon blocked the further sale. but I doubt that it is what really happened.

He did give a copy to Oliver Stone, but nothing came of it.
