THE
"WANTED" POSTER
The FBI prepared a "wanted" style
flyer for distribution to local law enforcement agencies in
Miami to facilitate the arrest of Lennon (HQ-24 page 5).
Although he had one of the most famous faces in the Western
world at this point, the FBI apparently was not confident
that local police would be able to recognize the ex-Beatle.
The photo, however, is not of Lennon but rather David Peel,
an East Village street singer who had become friends with
Lennon and who had an album released on Apple records that
year.
