Summary  
The documents detail FBI investigative activities related to Robert F. Kennedy's assassination and associated inquiries. On July 18, 1968, an FBI report notes that Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and Phoenix Police Department could not locate records for Oliver Jerry Owen (also known as Oliver Brindley Owen). The Phoenix Division declined to submit FD-9 to the Identification Division due to uncertainty about Los Angeles’ investigation. On July 22, 1968, an FBI report references an informant, Agustine V. Chavez, who claimed divine revelation of assassinations involving Senator Robert F. Kennedy, President John F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. The Los Angeles office concluded no further action would be taken on this matter. A cover sheet for an informant report (FD-306) from July 22, 1968, mentions Robert Rosselli Taylor, who resides in Glendale, California, and works part-time at Nash Department Store. Taylor reported knowing Joe Sirhan, a stockroom employee, who might provide information about his brother’s death if relevant. A complaint form (FD-71) from July 19, 1968, includes testimony from an individual named "C" who claimed to have seen a red MG or Triumph near the Ambassador Hotel around the time of RFK’s assassination. C noted that Stirhans car was found on Alexander Street and suggested the timing of his sighting might be significant.
