The FBI investigation into the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy on June 5, 1968, revealed that Walter S. Crowe, Jr., and Thomas D. Good were close friends of Sirhan S. Sirhan and had been identified as members of the Southern California District of Youth for Socialist Revolution.

Sirhan was convicted of assassinating Senator Kennedy and was sentenced to death, later commuted to life in prison. The investigation into his activities prior to the assassination revealed that he had been in contact with various individuals, including Crowe and Good, who were associated with socialist and communist groups.

The FBI also investigated a possible conspiracy involving the Communist Party, USA (CP-USA) and its members in the assassination of Senator Kennedy. However, no evidence was found to support this theory.

In 1969, an individual named John Christian contacted the FBI with information about Jerry Owen, who had been in contact with Sirhan prior to the assassination. Christian stated that Owen had affiliations with the Minute Men Organization and was affiliated to some degree with Carl McIntire, a well-known religious figure.

The Los Angeles Police Department investigated Christian's claims but concluded that they were without value. The FBI also investigated Thomas Daniel Good, who resided at 22 South First Street, San Jose, a rooming house for students at San Jose State College. Good was enrolled in a Special Program Project at the college and his whereabouts were unknown on June 6, 1968.

Sirhan Bishara Sirhan was flown to Hamilton Air Force Base and then to San Quentin Prison after being convicted of assassinating Senator Kennedy.
