</s>John Fahey 2025 RELEASE UNDER E.O. 14176

Summary  
The document details an investigation into John Fahey’s alleged involvement in events surrounding the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy on June 4, 1968. Fahey claimed to have met a woman at the Ambassador Hotel coffee shop who informed him she was part of a conspiracy to assassinate Senator Kennedy. He described being followed by a blue Volkswagen during his trip from Los Angeles to Ventura and later to Oxnard. His accounts varied across interviews, including conflicting details about the vehicle he claimed was following him and the woman’s identity. A polygraph examination conducted on September 5, 1968, indicated inconsistencies in his statements, with examiners concluding he was not being truthful about seeing Sirhan Sirhan or Munir Sihan, or being involved in a conspiracy. Fahey also alleged interactions with Fernando Paura, who allegedly arranged for a police press identification card and participated in creating a composite sketch of the woman. Follow-up interviews with Paul Woo and Jo Ricketts explored Fahey’s business contacts and his presence at the Burbank Hotel on June 6, 1968.
