Summary  
The documents detail FBI investigations (LA 44-1574) into a white 1966 Mustang with Alabama license plate 1-38993, abandoned in Georgia on April 5, 1968. The vehicle was serviced at H. Beckman Chevrolet Service Station in Los Angeles on February 13, 1968, under service order No. 423676 initially attributed to "GALT." Interviews with station owner Hyman Beckman and mechanic Albert Ballan identified the car as brought in by a white male with light brown hair, Southern accent, and age range of 30–58. Eric S. Galt, listed as the car’s owner, resided at 1535 North Serrano Avenue, Los Angeles, from November 1967 to January 1968. Rent records and tenant descriptions from the apartment complex managed by Dale Dykema and Mrs. Bernhardt corroborate Galt’s presence there. The investigation also notes a prior service order for the same Mustang at Cort Fox Ford in Los Angeles on February 22, 1968. Additional FBI FD-302 forms from April 15, 1968, reference interviews with residents of 1535 North Serrano Avenue and related addresses, including claims about individuals named Eric Galt, BRIC GAIT, and others. A piece of cardboard found in the Mustang’s trunk contained names like "GINGER DAY" and "ANITA KAZWINKEL," along with newspaper scraps listing rental ads. Other entries describe apartment management changes, tenant movements, and vehicle sightings but do not establish a direct link to Martin Luther King Jr. or his assassination.
