CASE NO: 3-86 (284980-T)
DATE: January 6, 1976
Continuing investigation into the bombing of the RIVERSIDE
POST OFFICE
located at 2285 West Flagler Street, in Miami, Dade County,
Florida,
occurring on December 3, 1975.
SYNOPSIS:
Interview of witnesses and viewing of photo lineups
presented by this
detective to witnesses to the bombings of December 3 and 4,
1975.
DETAILS:
This detective, in the company of Det. H. Rapado, met with
PAT LOPEZ at
CARIBE INSURANCE AGENCY at approximately 6:30 p.m. on
January 6, 1976.
Miss LOPEZ was shown a lineup containing photos of the
following ID
numbers: 115352, 132225, 107614, 142167, 61345, 82675, and
an
unnumbered photo of JOSE ANTONIO CALATAYUD RIVERA, a known
and active
revolutionary. Miss LOPEZ could not identify any
person but
stated that number 82675 had a certain resemblance.
The lineup consisted of one blackened Kodak sheet containing
photos. A second photo lineup consisted of front and
side views,
cut out photographs on opposite sides of a black piece of
notebook
binder paper.
Miss LOPEZ again stated that number 111876 showed a
resemblance.
Miss LOPEZ then was shown the same photographs, front view
and again
picked number 111876 as having a certain resemblance.
The numbers
in the lineup are as follows: 111876, 149058, 131294, 82675,
106599. Also included was 00124, the photo of LUCIO
BULIT, a
known affiliate of ALPHA 66, and a suspected activist.
A third lineup was shown to Miss LOPEZ containing individual
photographs of various persons, some having PSD numbers and
some not;
however, the collection contained one photograph of ROLANDO
OTERO
HERNANDEZ, white male, DOB 4/18/43. OTERO'S prints
have been
matched by the FBI and PSD labs to latents taken from the
airport
bombing communique and the locker at the airport in which a
bomb was
placed. See Case 3-83. Of this group Miss LOPEZ
picked
OTERO'S photograph as being almost sure that it was the same
person
that she saw wearing a black leather jacket on the night of
the post
office bombing (see December 4, 1975 report).
A sketch was also shown to Miss LOPEZ with negative
result. (The sketch was dated December 9, 1975.)
Case open pending further investigation.
