Summary: The documents detail an FBI investigation into potential leads related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) on April 4, 1968. A prime suspect in Birmingham, Alabama, is Eric Starvo Galt, registered owner of a 1966 white Mustang with VIN six T zero seven C one nine zero six four seven and license plate ALABAMIA ONE-THREE EIGHT NINE NINE THREE. The FBI instructed offices to check the VIN for re-registration. Another lead involves John Clinton Millsap, a man from Salt Lake City, Utah, who allegedly discussed purchasing a high-powered rifle to target "Negros" during a visit to his uncle William Millsaps in North Carolina. After MLK's assassination, William Millsaps claimed the killer resembled his nephew and feared he might be responsible due to prior statements about violence. The FBI also investigated car registrations linked to Memphis and Atlanta, including non-existent license numbers and cross-referenced records with state motor vehicle bureaus.
