Summary:  
The document contains forensic analysis reports and investigative records from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Forensic examinations included fiber, hair, soil, and physical evidence such as bedspreads, car parts, license plates, and firearms. Key items analyzed included a .243 Winchester caliber Remington Model 700 rifle (Serial Number 283749) sold to Harvey Loweyer on March 29, 1968, and a .30-06 Springfield caliber Remington Model 760 rifle (Serial Number 4471616). Soil samples from multiple locations were compared for potential connections. Hair and fiber analysis focused on Caucasian-origin specimens linked to items like a black rifle box, bedspreads, and razors. Toolmark examinations of firearms and cartridges were conducted to determine potential weapon linkage. Latent fingerprint analysis, laundry tags, and physical evidence such as a dent on a board were also examined. The reports reference administrative details about specimen retention, examination requests, and FBI file numbers (e.g., FBI File No. 44-45891).
