The documents consist of multiple FBI memoranda dated between April and May 1968, detailing investigative efforts related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK). SA Delmer R. Exon in Tulsa, Oklahoma, requested fingerprint comparisons of James Earl Ray with latent prints held by the Tulsa Police Department and Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office, which yielded negative results. Subsequent memoranda from SA John E. Chenoweth Jr. and SA Gerald E. Pitts describe broader checks across Oklahoma counties (Duncan, Stephens, Jefferson, Marlow, Carter) for individuals named Harvey Lomyer/Lowyer, Myrtle Johnson, Eric Starvo Galt, and others. These included examinations of directories, telephone listings, voter registration records, credit bureaus, laundries, and banking institutions, all of which returned no matches or relevant information.
