EDWARD VAE; ANTEERP Route 1, Box 409 , Eureka, Calif-
ornia was reinterviened
The
information furnished his relztives
at Norco, California regarding Vaw ANTNERP livirg
with SIREAN SIRHAJ , whon: knew 2s " SOL" Was discussed
with him_
After considerable conversation &nd viewing of
published photograph of SIRFAN , VAx ARTTTERP becene fully con-
vinced that Sf SOL" and SIRIIAN are identical, that this i8
the young man with whon he lived for about 5 months in late
1966 at the Highlander Motel ana another address in Norco,
California. VAN ANTWERP gave the appearance of total
amazenent when this realization came upon hin He stated
would SOL do a thing like that 9?
VAN ANTWERP met SIRHAN totally by chance at the
Highlander Motel, when SIRHAN came there looking for a place
to stay. VAN ANTWERP was
drinking that and they
into a conversation which resulted in SIRHAN moving into
his motel room with hin_ Although they occupied the sane
room for about 5 months , they did not associate much else-
where SIRHAN worked at Corona Del Mar Horse Boarding
Stables as an exercise VAN ANTWERP was working for
Taylor Rentals in Norco. SIRHAN said his hone was in
Pasadena
9
and he went there frequently on weekends to visit
his famiiy_ During the weeky SIRHAN went to work at the
horse
stabies
each morning
9
returning in the evening in a
routine fashion About all he did at the motel was sit
around quietly drinking tea in great quantities The
thing out of the ordinary that VAN ANTWERP noticed about
SIRHAN was that he did seem to have 2
feeling that he was
getting an unfair deal in life mainly because he was econ-
omically poor SIRHAN did not set forth any radical political
views or make comments indicating any thing extraordirary
in his personality.
VAN ANTWERP has no
knowledge of SIRHAN 8 as8ociates ,
social organization affiliations, political beliefs, ethnic
background
