Summary  
The documents detail an FBI and LAPD investigation into John Fahey’s alleged involvement in a conspiracy surrounding the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) on June 5, 1968. Fahey claimed he met a foreign-looking woman at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 4, 1968, who informed him of an assassination plot against RFK. He alleged being followed by a blue Volkswagen and encountering two men he believed were part of the conspiracy. However, his statements varied during interviews, including discrepancies about the vehicle (initially described as a dark blue Ford, later a blue Volkswagen) and the timeline of events. Fahey also mentioned being hypnotized by Dr. Ray La Scola and undergoing polygraph examinations, which he claimed confirmed his truthfulness. Investigators noted inconsistencies in his accounts, leading to further scrutiny. Paul Woo, a business associate of Fahey, recalled meeting him in 1966 but denied any connection to RFK-related activities. Jo Ricketts, a hotel employee, was questioned about Fahey’s presence at the Burbank Hotel on June 4, 1968, but provided conflicting details. The polygraph examination conducted on September 5, 1968, concluded that Fahey’s responses indicated deception, particularly regarding his claims of witnessing Sirhan Sirhan or Munir Sirhan and knowledge of an assassination plot. A hypnosis session involving Dr. La Scola and John Dirks, a Kennedy campaign worker, revealed Dirks’ recollection of two men near the Embassy Room at the Ambassador Hotel and a woman with polka-dot clothing and buttons on her breast.
