Robert E. Ritchey's statement to the Pasadena Police Department on May 3, 1967:

Ritchey reported that Saidiabah Sirhan, his friend and roommate, had a pistol with a black handle and chrome barrel. Sirhan would often refer to the gun as "a pistol" when discussing it.

On July 1947, Ritchey moved into Sirhan's apartment and found him asleep in bed with the pistol on his chest. Ritchey picked up the gun and put it on the dresser, noticing that the pistol was loaded.

Sirhan later told Ritchey that he had wondered how the gun got on the dresser while they were living together. Sirhan also showed Ritchey a rifle that he kept in a closet, but Ritchey didn't remember anything specific about the conversation.

Ritchey reported that Sirhan would often talk about his rifle and call it "rifle," whereas when discussing the pistol, he would refer to it as "gun."

Madeleine Smith's statement to the Pasadena Police Department on May 16, 1967:

Smith reported that Robert Ritchey told her that Saidiabah Sirhan had received a threatening phone call from an unknown person. At the same time, Sirhan had sent a gun and money to Ritchey's apartment.

Sirhan stayed with Ritchey for two nights to protect him and brought his gun with him. On the day he left, Sirhan asked Ritchey to go back to their apartment to look for one bullet that he claimed was missing.

Ritchey reported that Sirhan seemed very upset about the missing bullet and had searched the entire apartment but couldn't find it.

Smith also reported that in November 1967, Sirhan told her that Robert Ritchey had stolen his gun and money while he was asleep.
