The FBI’s investigation into the events of November 18, 1978 focused upon the assassination of Leo Ryan and any actions of members of Peoples Temple which may have shown evidence of a conspiracy related to that assassination. Code-named RYMUR \u2013 short for Ryan Murder \u2013 the investigation yielded 2750 serials totalling more than 10,000 pages, eventually separated into 42 large sections.<\/p>\n

This page includes the contents of Section 31, including serials 2084-2162. Most are dated during April 1979.<\/p>\n

The table below lists each document by serial number, the number of pages within each serial, the date the serial was generated, the federal agency originating the serial, and a brief description. Each entry then includes the PDF and the text of the serial. Additional notes appear at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n

A listing of abbreviations used in the RYMUR documents \u2013 including FBI field offices and State Department embassies \u2013 is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In citing these documents, each serial should open with the official designation of “RYMUR 89-4286.” As an example, Serial 2096 would be cited as “RYMUR 89-4286-2096.”<\/p>\n
