The documents detail FBI laboratory analyses and investigative efforts related to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy (RFK), focusing on handwriting comparisons, forensic evidence, and connections to Sirhan Bishara Sirhan. Key elements include handwriting analysis of Sirhan’s driver’s license photograph from March 1964, comparisons with a Rosicrucian sign-in sheet and a check for a $1,705 settlement, and examination of a shooting rooster photograph signed by Sirhan, which was linked to the name SIRIAN DISHARA SIRIAN. The FBI also analyzed postcards with handwritten notations (Q29 and Q22), concluding they were written by the same individual. A white envelope (Q30) addressed to the White House and a folded letterhead bearing a message from "The Gang in Vietnam" (Q31) were examined but lacked identifiable sources due to missing watermarks or other characteristics. Voice analysis of June 1968 tape recordings noted differences between Sirhan’s speech and an anonymous caller discussing RFK’s assassination. The FBI processed photographic evidence, including a Steve Schapiro photo of RFK at Los Angeles International Airport in May 1968, which was returned to SA Ashland. Physical evidence from Sirhan’s car included a parking ticket from Hollywood Race Track and a Richfield O11 credit card receipt for repairs on May 20, 1968. The autopsy report of RFK was noted as incomplete due to forensic challenges. Some documents reference the return of cartridge cases from the San Gabriel Valley Gun Club to local authorities and restrictions on using laboratory reports in civil proceedings.
