Summary  
The documents detail medical records, insurance claims, and FBI investigative reports related to Sirhan Sirhan (also referred to as STIRHAN or Stirian) and his potential connections to Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination. Medical records describe injuries sustained by Sirhan from a horse accident on September 24, 1966, at Granja Vista Del Rio Ranch in Corona, California, treated by Dr. Richard A. Nelson for eye complications and later evaluated by Dr. E. Gordon Kichn. Insurance claims (Argonaut Insurance) document treatment costs from October 1966 to January 1967. FBI reports from June 1968 reference STIRHAN’s employment at a Richfield Gas Station in Pasadena, attendance at Pasadena City College, and alleged interactions with individuals linked to RFK’s assassination investigation. Testimonies from farm workers at Granja Vista Del Rio Farms describe Sirhan as an employee who lived in Norco, California, and engaged in conversations about politics, including references to historical figures like Napoleon and Hitler. Janice Ducky, a former farm worker, claimed to recognize Sirhan on television after the RFK assassination on June 5, 1968. FBI interviews with individuals such as Dr. Charles R. Bell, George A. Katas, and PCC students describe Sirhan’s behavior as stable but note his alleged political remarks and associations with religious groups.
