The document contains an affidavit from Robert A. Frazier, a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), detailing his examination of evidence related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4, 1968. Frazier received items from Memphis, Tennessee, including a .30-36 Springfield caliber Remington Model 760 rifle, a Redfield telescopic sight, and various bullets and cartridge cases. Microscopic analysis indicated that the fired .30-caliber bullet was consistent with the submitted rifle's barrel characteristics and that the .30-06 Springfield cartridge case had been fired and extracted from the rifle. However, due to distortion and insufficient markings, Frazier could not definitively confirm if the submitted bullets were fired from the rifle. The document also references a file number (44-38861) and includes repeated redaction markers ("2025 RELEASE UNDER E.O. 14176").
