everything else.
PAUSE
#1:
Both of my arms go to sleep now for some reason.
#6. 5:
Okay, now that we have a chance to stretch,
why don't we go ahead and sketch some of these
things that you saw #1.
#1:
Okay, Page 1, what I was, looking at essentially
was a section of the . . part of this building
and there was like the hallway was real long.
I was looking down this real long hallway.
And, the hallway did one of these turns and I
don't know if it went the other way or not but
I sense that it just went to the left ..
#6. 5:
Okay.
#1:
And the . . Put down "P" because the guy looked
like a policeman to me. For some reason, was
down here at the bend in the hallway. And way
down in this end were the . . was the door to
this . . one room and there was. .
there was
more rooms.
#6.51
Uh huh.
#1 :
I sense there was like maybe six hostages total.
Four anyway for sure. And . . in this room on
the bed was the guy, Victor. Okay. And there
was no windows in this room.
Now, right across
the hall was another room and I sense that in
that room was this guy Lainden. Only this guy
Laingen didn't match his picture. It was like
you know, he has a full head of hair in this
picture and he doesn't in this room.
So.
And he also, he had a window in this end of the
. . room right here.
That's essentially that
part.

And I think that you just wanted to say some-
thing about the
#1:
Laingen's hair.
#6.5:
Uh huh.
#1:
In the picture he's got a full head of hair.
The Laingen I'm seeing in the room doesn't.
#6.5:
Okay.
#1
There's something different.
#6.5:
Okay.
#1:
Not something I can put my finger on the its
something different. It may be just the different
way he's combing it.
#6.5:
Are you sure it was Laingen?
#1:
Yeah. Let's see, where was I? The shape, the
general shape of this building, the impression
I'm getting for general shape of this building
is that its in a "U" shape. And,
And that this is the area with the "X" that this
section's in. And that the main entranceway is
like blocked in the front and there's a main
thoroughfare and then over here is like a wall
and this is a park. I got the feeling like this
direction where the arrow is, is the direction of
the building earlier today.
#6.5:
Okay.

What I called the "E" shape.

And on Page 4, the impression I'm getting for
the windows is that the windows are just a plain
rectangle. . . and there's a wrought iron design
over them that looks like this. Its. . its sort
of like the post piece with a flag on both ends
with the . . the points sort of overlapping like
this with a .
like some kind of a piece going
down behind them that these things are welded to.
That and there's another one right next to it.
Its kind of like a . . a silver paint on it of
some sort.

Yeah. Like a double ended flag post with flags
on it.
#6.5:
Um hm.
Okay.
#1:
Only they're made out of iron and they're welded
directly onto iron bars like coming down through
these windows. You know, the same pattern as
that.
Other than that the windows are just plain
squares or plain .
. . rectangles.
PAUSE
For some reason.
.
. The color pink, I don't
know why. I was trying to get a color of this
building and the color pink kept coming into my
mind.
And nobody in their right mind paints a
building pink.
#6.5:
Pink?
#1:
Yeah.
But . . the color pink. Maybe its a close
- something like a fleshtone color that's close
to being pink.
#6.5:
Um hm.

With the lights on it a certain way or something.
PAUSE
#6.5:
Okay.

That's Page 4.

have this?

All the windows on this building.
#6.5:
All of them?
#1:
At least the second and third floor.
#6.5:
Okay.

to the building?

floors.
#6.5:

There's
a park across the street that
has like
like a stone. . this would be
like masonary here. . . with a . . with like a
brick facing on one side. Like this.
PAUSE
Its like a gateway. For some reason I had af
very strong impression of this stone gateway.
And then there's like a very low thin wall over
here like this. Its also . . stone on top of
·
. brick. Like this.
With very short little
iron bars on top.
#6.5:
Okay.
#1:
And the same thing over here.
PAUSE
The short iron bars.
And I got the impression of like a dual pattern
pathway going off in the distance like this.
That's what these light lines are believe it
or not, going up hill.
#6.5:
Um hm.
#1:
And the trees, all these trees in the park.
Sitting here.
#6.5:
And this park is located?
#1:
Directly across the street from this place.
And, Page 6. The "U" shape building is laid
out like this with the main road running in
front of it and the park went down that way.
I got the impression like this was a hill.
The way I'm drawing this thing it looks like
a bull's eye; its more like a topigraphical
hill.
#6.5:
Okay.
#1:
And I felt like there was five buildings of
uniform shape directly behind the "U" shape
building.

I got the feeling like there was maybe four
hostages on the floor in this particular space
of area and I was . . getting a real strong
impression that there were like a whole lot more
hostages very close by. Possibly in the same
building, but I couldn't find them.
#6.5:
Um hm.

And. .
. that may be why I . . It could very
well be analytic that I'm saying that the other
hostages that I was looking for earlier today
are in the other building, the "E" shape building,
are close by. You know, I'm not sure if I'm
confusing the two.
#6.5:

close by or is there a lot more hostages in
this building?

Okay. You said something again, that I wasn't
quite sure I caught. Something about a metal
cage, no window. When you were first describing
- I thought, the room that he was in.
#1:
Oh. I got an impression of some kind of a .
caging of some sort. And I. . I don't know if
I'm seeing some kind of a block ventilator
shaft or if I'm seeing something on the door or
you know, if I'm just .

was very little light in the hall.
And there
