Summary  
The document details forensic evidence collected during the investigation into the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., which occurred on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. Key items recovered included firearms (a .243 Winchester Browning rifle and a .30-06 Springfield Remington "Gamemaster" rifle), ammunition cartridges, bullet fragments, personal belongings (e.g., toiletries, clothing, maps), and other objects. The FBI Laboratory conducted analyses of firearm toolmarks, bullet comparisons, and fiber evidence to determine the origin of items and their potential links to suspects. Bullet fragments recovered from the victim were consistent with a .30-06 Springfield cartridge fired from a Remington rifle, though no definitive weapon match was established due to the widespread distribution of Channel Master products. The report also references checks against national databases for stolen property and crime records, noting the absence of serial numbers on certain items.
