Summary  
The documents detail FBI investigations into potential suspects linked to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK), including Frank G. Niles, a former American Nazi Party member with mental health issues, and Paul Cobb, who made statements about MLK’s death. Niles’ background includes psychiatric treatment, alleged ties to extremist groups, and connections to Memphis, Tennessee, where MLK was assassinated. Cobb is noted for interacting with FBI agents in San Francisco, expressing radical views on race, and associating with Black Panther groups. The FBI sought information on Niles’ whereabouts and activities, while investigating Cobb’s alleged knowledge of MLK’s assassination. Additional records include correspondence between William O. Wood and J. Edgar Hoover regarding Wood’s 1963 attempt to report on the investigation, which was followed by FBI inquiries in 1968. Anthony Worroby is mentioned as an individual who claimed to have arrived in Panama via a Swedish ship and sought U.S. military service, with personal details including a Social Security Number [SSN REDACTED]. Angel Stickelebault, described as a look-alike for James Earl Ray (the alleged assassin), was investigated for travel to Mexico with his family, though passenger lists did not confirm his involvement. Administrative notes reference FBI procedures for reviewing mental health records and verifying documents such as boat rental agreements and car registrations linked to suspects.
