Summary  
The documents detail forensic and investigative analyses conducted by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and other agencies following the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy on June 5, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Key physical evidence includes bullet trajectories from an Iver Johnson Cadet revolver, recovered shell casings, and powder residue patterns indicating the weapon was held approximately one inch from RFK’s head. Bullet fragments were found in RFK’s cervical vertebrae, right shoulder, and other locations, with some exiting his body or being lost in the hotel’s ceiling or corridors. Forensic analysis of clothing revealed contact with lipstick and makeup from brown paper sacks and May Co. green sacks. Sound tests at the Ambassador Hotel were conducted to determine muzzle distance and gunfire location. Sirhan B. SIRHAN is identified as a suspect, with handwriting analysis concluding he authored most spiral notebooks linked to the case. Latent print examinations on items connected to Sirhan, including a 1956 DeSoto car and documents, revealed multiple prints matching him but also unidentified impressions. Shell casings from the scene did not match the weapon recovered from Sirhan. Witness interviews described Sirhan’s interactions with campaign workers, attendance at Rosicrucian meetings, and medical accounts of RFK’s injuries. A crime scene mock-up of the Ambassador Hotel Casino and Lobby floors was created, and over 2300 witnesses were listed, including hotel staff and campaign associates.
