Summary  
The documents consist of multiple FBI FD-302 forms dated 1966–1968 detailing investigations into Sirhan Sirhan (variously spelled as SIRIAN, STIRIAN, STIRHAN), a subject linked to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Key details include Sirhan’s employment history at health food stores and horse farms in Pasadena and Corona, California, where he worked as a delivery driver, night shift employee, and exercise boy. Witnesses described him as quiet, non-political, and respectful but noted tensions with employers, including John Weidner. Sirhan allegedly purchased a 1956 Desoto car, frequented horse tracks, and had interests in witchcraft and religion. His employment at Granja Vista Del Rio Ranch resulted in head injuries from a 1966 horse accident, leading to hospitalization and insurance claims. The documents reference FBI case files (e.g., Los Angeles 56-156) and mention his alleged connection to Santa Anita Race Track and potential ties to RFK’s assassination, though no direct evidence is provided.
