Summary  
The documents detail FBI and LAPD investigations into the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) on June 5, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Sirhan Bishara Sirhan was identified as the primary suspect and arrested for the crime. The FBI analyzed physical evidence from the scene, including a .22 caliber revolver used in the shooting, bullet trajectories, and powder residue indicating the weapon fired within one to six inches of RFK’s head. A sound test suggested the shot could not be heard in certain areas. Laboratory reports included fingerprint comparisons and indented writing on documents linked to Sirhan, with some references to unrelated cases or international communications, such as statements from Jordanian security officials about Sirhan’s family.  

A Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) notice sought information about a man seen at Hollywood Park Race Track on June 3, 1968, matching Sirhan’s description. The individual was reportedly hired to drive a red pick-up truck with specific markings and later conversed with a witness about purchasing a palomino horse. LAPD compiled a list of witnesses interviewed during the investigation, including individuals present at the Ambassador Hotel on June 4-5, 1968.  

Separate reports describe Norberto Salinas Navarrete, a Mexican Federal District Attorney in Juarez, who was hospitalized at the General Hospital for the Insane in Juarez after being deemed psychotic in 1968. He later died by suicide by hanging on July 4, 1968. The FBI noted that Salinas initially claimed his story about RFK’s assassination was a hoax and criticized authorities for believing it.
