John Wright, a.k.a. John David Wright, was interviewed by the FBI on June 7, 1968, and stated that he was employed as a "kitchen reporter" at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, where Senator Robert Kennedy was shot on June 4, 1968. Wright claimed to have seen Sirhan Sirhan, the alleged shooter, in the kitchen on the evening of the shooting.

Wright's statements were corroborated by Caroline Petitino, a volunteer campaign worker for Senator Kennedy, who stated that she had spoken with Wright and he had told her about seeing Sirhan in the kitchen. However, Petitino later recanted her statement, saying that she was "very upset" when she made it.

Ronald Huntley, an interviewer at the Employment Center in Portland, Oregon, reported that he saw two men, one of whom resembled Sirhan, attempting to get into a restricted area where Senator Kennedy was speaking on May 28, 1968. Huntley described the man as being around 25-28 years old, with dark skin and black wavy hair.

William McCarthy, a journalist who covered the California primary election for the Boston Herald, reported that he saw an individual who resembled Sirhan in the Colonial Room of the Ambassador Hotel on June 4, 1968. McCarthy described the man as being around 20-25 years old, with dark skin and curly black hair.

James McEvoy, a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Davis, reported that he had to ask a young man to leave a hallway behind the stage where Senator Kennedy was speaking on May 16, 1968. The young man resembled Sirhan and was described as being around 20-25 years old, with dark skin and black wavy hair.

The FBI also interviewed Lorena Kurtz, who claimed that she had information about a conspiracy involving Sirhan in the assassination of Senator Kennedy. However, her statements were deemed to be "incoherent" and not credible.

Leonard Edwards, a semi-retired man from Mountain View, California, was interviewed by the FBI on June 27, 1968, and stated that he had made some strange remarks about politics and violence in the past. Edwards denied any involvement in the assassination of Senator Kennedy and claimed to have been at home on the day of the shooting.

The FBI also investigated a possible connection between Edwards and Sirhan, but found no evidence of their involvement together.

Overall, the FBI's investigation into the assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy revealed several individuals who had made statements or had interactions with Sirhan in the days leading up to the shooting. However, none of these individuals were deemed to be directly involved in the assassination.
