The FBI Vault's file on the 17 June 1933 shooting at Union Station, Kansas City, file 62-28915, released in 93 parts. Section 1's cover names the subject as Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd, Kansas City Massacre. A copy of that cover is stored here.

The Vault lists the Kansas City Massacre file in parts 01 to 93 (Final), with Part 24 split into pages 1 to 249 and 250 to 282. The cover of Part 01, stored here, reads: "Subject: Charles 'Pretty Boy' Floyd, Kansas City Massacre, File: 62-28915, Section 1."

The viewer's text layer for Parts 01 and 02 is mostly unreadable. Readable passages in Part 01 include a June 19, 1933 memorandum in the Frank Nash case recording that Special Agent in Charge Vetterli had sent two agents to Joplin, Missouri, and a page stating that Floyd was wanted in connection with the murders of Otto Reed, chief of police of McAlester, Oklahoma, William J. Grooms and others. Parts 03 to 93 were not opened for this archive. Three Bureau letters from the file's first days are filed separately in the [Weapons and evidence](/weapons/) section.
