The FBI has issued a bulletin asking Seattle residents to help identify two men seen acting suspiciously on Washington ferries.
SEATTLE – The FBI is asking for the public’s help to identify two men who have been seen acting suspiciously aboard Washington State ferries recently.
The FBI released a bulletin late Monday, including photographs of the two men. One of the photos shows the men side-by-side and the other is a solo shot of one of them. They were snapped by a ferry employee who thought the pair acted suspiciously.
“They had more than the average interest in the working parts of the ferry, the layout of the ferry, the size of it — more than you would see in normal passenger,” said FBI spokesperson Robbie Burroughs.
The FBI says the men were seen on more then one ferry and more than one run over the past several weeks. They were also taking photos of parts of the boat, which the agents won’t reveal, but that apparently aroused the suspicions of passengers and crew alike.
Anyone who knows the men or there whereabouts are asked to call the FBI at (206) 622-0460.
UPDATE at 8/21/07 7:45:09 am:
The left-wing Seattle Post-Intelligencer has refused to publish the FBI’s photos of the two men.
The Seattle P-I is not publishing the photos because neither man is considered a suspect nor has either been charged with a crime.
