Summary  
The document contains records from federal and state investigations into individuals associated with the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK), focusing on threats, physical resemblance checks, and forensic evidence such as a Browning High Power Rifle serial number discrepancy (44/445). Key inquiries include reviews of names like HARVEY LOWEYEYER, JEROME WALLIS VERNON, A.J. CONSOLINO, KENNETH E. HUNT, JIMMIE DELTON GARNER, ERIC STARVO GALT, and KARL GALT across Missouri counties (St. Louis, St. Charles, Jefferson, Rolla, etc.), as well as business records for companies like Federal Barge Lines, Edwards Towing Co., and Universal Towing Company. Investigations involved cross-referencing voter registrations, credit bureau data, military service files, motel check-ins, and vehicle tracking. A.J. CONSOLINO’s Ford automobile with Illinois license plate 411-809 was tracked in Memphis, Tennessee, and St. Ann, Missouri. Kenneth E. HUNT’s van rental history with Executive Leasing Company and his ties to Foster Spring Company were examined. Jimmie DELTON GARNER’s World War II military records (Army Serial Number 3278 879) included disciplinary actions for misconduct. The Browning rifle investigation noted discrepancies in serial number matching, with the weapon linked to shipments to California and Alabama but later returned for credit. Name checks for "Harvey Lowyer" variations yielded no results. Administrative notes reference document releases under Executive Order 14176.
