Summary  
The document contains multiple FBI records from April 1968, detailing investigations into various cases involving Eric Starvo Galt (Gault), a white male associated with a stolen 1968 white Mustang found in Atlanta, Georgia. The vehicle, registered to Alabama and bearing license plate 1-3896, was discovered parked in a residential complex on April 5, 1968. Items recovered included thermoseal tape marked "4-379" and "5-77," a handwritten note referencing "Ginger and Anita Kinkel" at an address (One Five Three Five Serrano, Apt. Six), and a laundry tag with partial digits possibly indicating "B," "Eight," or "Three." The investigation tracked Galt’s movements in Los Angeles, including rental history, financial transactions related to a laundromat purchase, and disputes over ownership involving Maurice H., who claimed Galt defaulted on payments. A work order for car repairs signed by "Eric S. Galt" was recorded at H. Beckman Chevron Station. Phone number investigations linked to Anita Kinkel revealed disconnected or unverified numbers. The FBI also conducted checks on airline manifests for trips between Atlanta and Los Angeles/Mexico under specific names, inquiries into Klan informants in the Atlanta area, and forensic fingerprint analysis requests. Vernon’s potential ties to a Memphis case and vehicle details were noted, with direct supervision from SAC offices.
