Summary  
The documents detail FBI investigations into individuals associated with a 1966 white Mustang linked to Los Angeles apartment complexes, focusing on Eric S. GAIN (also referred to as GALT) and other persons of interest. Service records from H. Beckman Chevrolet Service Station (1506 North Normandie Avenue) show repairs for the vehicle on February 13, 1968, with cash payment and initials noted. The car was tied to an apartment at 1535 North Serrano Avenue, where GALT resided from November 1967 to January 1968. Apartment tenants described him as clean-shaven, well-dressed, and occasionally using utilities after initial residency.  

FBI interviews with residents of the Serrano Avenue complex in early 1968 revealed conflicting accounts about GALT’s presence, including claims of a white Mustang parked near the building and cardboard notes found in an abandoned car in Atlanta, Georgia. Names like "Ginger Day" and "Anita Kazwinikel" were linked to these notes. The agency also pursued inquiries into potential connections between GALT and other individuals, such as Sue Harris and Ginger Nance, who were associated with California motels and alleged prostitution operations.  

A white man described by Sylvia Blank (manager of Gramercy Park Apartments) was observed near the complex on April 11, 1968, with physical traits matching composite sketches of Thomas Flicked or GALT. Blank reported finding black high heel shoes in an apartment vacated between April 1st and May 5th, 1968. The FBI reviewed employment records for Thomas Flicked at Hollywood Carpet Inc., noting inconsistencies in witness identifications and unavailable documentation.
