Summary  
The documents detail an FBI investigation into James Earl Ray’s alleged involvement in the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., focusing on his connections to Ginger Nance (also known as GINGER CUNNINGHAM), Anita Katzwinkel, and other individuals. Key evidence includes a torn Kleenex box found in Ray’s abandoned Mustang in Atlanta, Georgia, containing handwritten notes referencing Nance, Katzwinkel, and locations such as Serrano Blvd., Los Angeles, and Mendota, Illinois. The FBI examined Nance’s alleged movements between Illinois and California, her employment history, and ties to a film company. Witness interviews, including Susan Flicked (nee Harris), provided details about Nance’s activities in Los Angeles during 1967. Ray’s brother, Jerry William Ray, was noted for his criminal history involving armed robbery and resisting arrest. The FBI emphasized Ray’s status as an armed and dangerous individual. Additional records include FBI laboratory analysis of handwriting samples from Eric S. Galt, Susan Harris Flicked, and Thomas Flicked, as well as business records from the Superior Bulk Film Company linked to camera equipment orders and financial transactions. References to a white envelope postmarked Montreal and a remote control cable were also noted.
