Summary  
The documents detail FBI and Los Angeles County District Attorney investigations into Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination and related inquiries, spanning October 1968 to May 1968. Key elements include FBI interviews of individuals linked to the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 4–5, 1968, including Thelma Schaffer, Jack B.B.T., John Chambers, and Malcolm Miller. Interviews also targeted Peter Edelman (abroad), Carl H. Goldsteck (linked to Spokane banks and the hospital where RFK was treated post-assassination), and Antonio Albizo Ortiz (Mexican national with ties to left-wing groups in Mexico City). Administrative records reference inter-agency communications between FBI offices in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and other locations, as well as file management tasks. Sirhan Bishara Sirhan’s court appearance on October 14, 1968, is noted, with his attorney Russell P. Pasons requesting motions granted by the court. Investigations into John Wright included conflicting employment records at the Ambassador Hotel and addresses in Los Angeles, Kansas City, and Pensacola, Florida. A package from Salt Lake City containing a polka dot dress and documents was sent to FBI Los Angeles for review. Rebecca Fogel’s case, involving alleged medical treatment denial in Canada, is linked to Sirhan Sirhan but lacks direct assassination ties. Medical examiner Dr. John Holloway conducted neutron activity analysis and communicated with the FBI Laboratory.
