The documents detail FBI investigative activities related to Robert F. Kennedy’s (RFK) assassination on June 5, 1968, including interviews with witnesses, suspects, and individuals linked to RFK’s campaign or security concerns. Key elements include FD-302 interview records documenting statements from individuals present at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles during RFK’s visit on June 4–5, 1968, such as William R. Hodges, his girlfriend Carol Fenbury, and others. Interviews also focused on potential connections to Sirhan Bishara Sirian, the accused assassin, and other figures like Gary Wayne Dottman (linked to Russian intelligence during Navy service) and Nadine Booher (owner of Malibu Riviera Restaurant). The FBI coordinated with the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology for RFK’s autopsy report by Dr. Naguachi, which included details on the timeline of the investigation. Efforts were made to locate William Bear, a salesman connected to a Muntz TV dealer in Seattle, and verify employment history for individuals like Stewart E. Cummings and Ella Cummings. The documents also reference unrelated investigations into cases such as James Riddle Hoffa but exclude them from RFK-specific analysis.
