</s>LA 56-156 SECTION II Los Angeles Report 6/15/68 Pages 330-618 STIRHAN BISHARA STIRHIAN CIVIL RIGHTS

Summary  
The document contains FBI records and police reports from 1960 to 1968 detailing investigations into the Stirhan/Sirhan family in Pasadena, California, with connections to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy on June 5, 1968. Neighbors reported interactions between family members and trash collectors, including STIRHAN’s frequent encounters with such individuals and his ownership of a pink Desoto automobile. Gunshots were heard near the Stirhan residence in late 1967 and early 1968, though sources could not confirm their origin. Neighbors also noted incidents involving family members throwing stones at dogs and one brother driving under the influence. Following RFK’s assassination, neighborhood fear increased, with some residents expressing concerns about the family’s behavior. FBI FD-302 forms from 1966–1968 include interviews with SIRHAN family members, such as Adel Bishara Sirhan, who referenced a 1960 motor vehicle theft case (case number 27/3/2005) and pool-playing activities. A marijuana sales investigation in 1966 linked Munir B. Sirhan to the area, with his address at 66 East Howard Street. The Pasadena Police Department booked Sirhan on October 10, 1966, noting a circular scar and birthmark on his back. Administrative records also mention unrelated complaints about abandoned vehicles and other cases.
