The only photos of Robert Kennedy when he was assassinated were seized by LAPD and lost 20 years later!

Jamie Scott Enyart was just a 15 year old high school student who had a fascination with taking pictures, when he captured several photographs of Robert Kennedy walking through the ballroom of the hotel he was staying at. Enyart was standing slightly behind Robert Kennedy when the shooting began, and Enyart took as many pictures as he possibly could.

When leaving the scene, the Las Angeles Police Department seized the photographs taken by Enyart, because the police said that the photographs would be a critical component throughout the trial of Sirhan Sirhan. However, the photographs were not presented as evidence. Instead, they were sealed up for 20 years.

In 1988, Enyart demanded that the photographs be returned to him. When the police were unable to find the photographs, they told him that they must have been destroyed, and he filed a lawsuit. The LAPD then responded by saying they found the pictures, and they would be brought to him by a courier the following morning. To everyone's surprise, the briefcase the pictures were being held in was mysteriously stolen, never to be seen again, and Enyart was given $450,000 in damages.
