Summary  
This document comprises two FBI investigative records from 1969 detailing separate but related inquiries into jewelry thefts and associated criminal activities. The first report, dated April 18, 1969, focuses on a $54,170 jewelry heist in West Hollywood, California, in August 1967, involving David Lynn Mitchell, Delbert W. Hain, Anthony Rossi, and others. The theft was linked to Carlos Marcello, a New Orleans mob figure, through the sale of an emerald ring by Rossi in January 1968. The FBI investigated Rossi’s alleged interstate transportation of stolen goods, his use of a Cadillac with a specific VIN number, and connections to seaman’s papers verified via the Coast Guard. Rossi’s daughter, Debbie Porter Rossi, was noted as absent from school since November 1968. The second report, dated March 30, 1969, contains fragmented records referencing David Lew Mitchell’s identification of Carlos Marcio in a photograph tied to a theft at Canal Jewelry and Loan in California. It also includes administrative forms for U.S. merchant mariner certificates with redacted social security numbers and a request from Waterman Steamship Corporation for employment verification on Anthony Rossi’s behalf.
