Summary:  
The documents detail FBI investigations from 1964–1968 into individuals potentially linked to Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. Key figures include James Earl Ray, Charles Stein, and others such as Leon Davis (a look-alike for Ray), Louis Lomax, Marie Lee, Charles De Carvelho, Noel Gray, Rita Rossi, Stan Rossit, and Tomas Lau. Investigations focused on surveillance, interviews, and tracking associations, including financial records, travel patterns, and potential connections to civil rights activities or criminal networks. References to phone booth locations near Yuma (Arizona) and New Orleans were noted, alongside administrative requests for resources like 8,000 information orders (I.O.'s) in New Orleans. The FBI withheld phone records from Louis Lomax due to operational security concerns. Charles Stein reported confusion about events and recalled items in a Mustang trunk but could not confirm details. Tomas Lau claimed to have seen photos of the subject at Missouri State Penitentiary, while Rita Rossi and Stan Rossit were linked to the subject’s associates. Administrative records also included FBI memos, indices, and communications between New Orleans, Memphis, and Phoenix offices regarding case management and phone call tracking.
