Summary  
This document contains two distinct segments: a fragmented 1968 law enforcement report on a car theft investigation in Tennessee and an FBI record detailing forensic textile analysis linked to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The first segment focuses on Eric Starvo Galt, a suspect associated with a stolen silver Mustang (VIN: SAK 107C1N90667) and Herman Eugene Patterson, a repeat offender with multiple drunk driving arrests in Shelby, Tennessee. The second segment describes an FBI investigation into MLK’s assassination, involving forensic analysis of laundry marks found on clothing tied to suspects.
