Summary  
The documents detail FBI investigations into the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) and related inquiries involving Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, Jerry Owen, and other figures. John Christian, a journalist, contacted the FBI in April 1969, alleging that Jerry Owen, a religious figure with paramilitary ties, provided false information to Los Angeles police about picking up Sirhan near the Ambassador Hotel on June 3, 1968. The FBI found no evidence of this interaction. Christian also claimed Sirhan visited Caliente, Mexico, and had connections to groups like the Minute Men and Carl McIntire’s organization. The FBI deemed these claims uncorroborated. Additional sections reference unrelated inquiries into Thomas Good, Reverend JHHO, James Mondell, Jose Quarte, Kathy Fulmer (who died in 1969 from an overdose), and Crispin Gonzalez (a 17-year-old arrested in Mexico for alleged involvement). The FBI also noted internal memos confirming prior investigations into these matters were resolved. A separate document references Art Kevin’s radio broadcast discussing assassination plots against RFK, linking Sirhan to Al-Fatah and unresolved claims about the “polka-dot dress lady.” Polygraph examinations later refuted witness accounts involving Sandra Serrano and Vincent Di Pierro. Another section details NBC-TV allegedly paying Sirhan $1,000 per minute for an interview with Robert Kaiser in May 1969, which FBI agents found no evidence of. Legal proceedings for Sirhan’s trial and appeals are documented, including his death sentence and defense attorneys’ efforts to challenge it. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office released cost summaries for the case, totaling $929,285, and a lawsuit was filed against RFK campaign committees for hotel expenses incurred during the assassination.
