SOME quotes form the FBI files...
SA HENRY SHUTZ called from Bureau on 11/29/71
He said that he talked to the artist who interviewed one of the stewardesses, the only one who saw the man without glasses and she was unable to definitely recall what his eyes looked like.
RE: Artist’s sketch
“The hairline was good, Hair itself should be marcelled and hair style of President Nixon is quite similar to what unsub had. Hair should be slicked down as characters wore in old George Raft movies. Nose in artists’s conception is too pinched, should be broadened in area of nostrils. Cheeks too flat. Should be more rounded to give Mexican American appearance.
The Hijacker was wearing dark glasses when xxxx saw him and he was unable to furnish any particulars about the hijackers eyes. After studying the artists’s sketch of the hijacker, xxxx had the following comments. He stated that the hijacker had an overall appearance which was in some ways similar to the artists’s sketch. However, he recalled that the hijacker had a broader nose, wider forehead and face in general, than that depicted in the sketch.
That he has average eyes, of Latin appearance, with a sort of disinterested look… thought artists’s conception was very good overall. Except the hair did not recede quite so much as he remembers it, it was a little more curly and definitely short. He also thinks the nose and face slightly too thin, although not much. Feel’s artist sketch makes him look younger than he is.
The subjects hair was jet black, greasy, had a patent leather sheen, marcelled, combed almost straight back but with a slight angle toward the right side of the head and a slight part on the left.
He felt the subject might have been a Mexican-American with possibly some American Indian blood.
.. suggested the following changes;
The hair should be as it appears in the sketch, not photograph, at the top of page 104 in the above-mentioned catalog; it should be marcelled with a slight part on the left, with a patent leather sheen.
The mouth’s lower lip is too full….
The chin is too too broad….
SA XXX penciled in a narrower lip, narrowed the chin and shaded the area on either side of the chin in the artist’s sketch. XXXX stated that with these changes the resemblance was closer, but that the entire face should be longer. The sketch, as it originally existed resembled a “clean cut American” too much.
The neck and chin of unsub appear as if he had been fat and lost weight, leaving some flabby skin. Everything from nose up is good. Mouth is also good. Overall picture of composite makes unsub appear younger than he actually is.
Hahneman clamed to have cancer and pics of Hahneman seemed to range from heavy to thin and back to heavier with a "turkey neck".
Two Hahneman pics, one compilation and one with George Raft (Left) and Hahneman (middle) and Richard Nixon. He has "marcelled" Nixon hair..
