Summary: The documents contain fragmented and partially illegible records related to FBI investigations involving threats against individuals, including references to Martin Luther King Jr. (KING). A 1963 entry mentions threats against Reo Faraon and other names with coded identifiers such as "R.R.K.S.KILLS" and "KILIS," though the connections to MLK are unclear. Later entries from May 1968 reference a phone call involving an informant known as "BOB" LNU, linked to Leamont Anderson White and Frank Brickley. The FBI sought to identify an individual associated with Western Union in Los Angeles, Lester Edward Packet, through photographs and interviews. Odeala Packett, his wife, is noted for filing for divorce and providing details about his movements, including locations like Florida, Nevada, Tennessee, Chicago, and Kansas City. A 1984 memorandum mentions a reward of at least $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of MLK's killer, with instructions to law enforcement agencies to discreetly remind media outlets without publicizing the FBI’s role.
