</s>VOLUNTARY WITNESSES 2025 RELEASE UNDER E.O. 14176

Summary  
The documents detail investigations into Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination, focusing on witness accounts, inconsistencies in testimonies, and forensic analyses of claims involving Sirhan B. Sirhan. Jerry Owen, an ex-prize fighter turned minister, alleged he met Sirhan in Los Angeles on June 3, 1968, discussing a horse sale. Investigators found discrepancies in his timeline, including conflicting dates, locations, and evidence contradicting his claim about purchasing boxing shoes. A polygraph test on July 3, 1968, indicated Owen was untruthful, and his criminal history of arson and fraud further undermined his credibility. John Christian, a magazine writer, claimed Owen and Sirhan were conspirators, seeking government support for his theory, while Virginia Teresi fabricated an account of witnessing Sirhan with weapons on June 3, later disproven by polygraph results and record checks. Witness accounts at the Golden Garter Inn in Alhambra identified Robert Andrese as a man resembling Sirhan, though evidence refuted Sirhan’s presence there. Mr. Gearhart initially claimed to have met Sirhan at a bar but retracted his statement after polygraph testing, while John Fahey admitted fabricating claims about a conspiracy involving vehicles and hypnosis sessions with Dr. Ray La Scala. The Biltmore Hotel investigation disproved fabricated claims of Sirhan’s registration, and discrepancies in witness details, including dates and identities, were noted across multiple testimonies.
