      In response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the file on legendary outlaw journalist Hunter S. Thompson, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) says it destroyed some of the documents in the 1990s.

      Argus Leader Media reporter Cody Winchester received 58-pages of documents from the National Archives after the FBI told him that “records responsive to your FOIA request were destroyed on Feb. 1, 1994 and Sept. 1, 1998.” Winchester suspects he could be the first to have acquired what remains of the all pages of a federal investigation into the long-time Rolling Stone correspondent and originator of “gonzo journalism.”

      The reason behind the file destruction is unknown, but an examination of the document by South Dakota State University journalism professor Matt Cecil provides insight what he believes to be the FBI’s motives for following Thompson.

      “It is apparent from this file that the FBI became interested in Thompson as a result of his Hell’s Angels article in The Nation (and book that followed) along with his subscription to The People’s World,” Cecil says, referring to the weekly paper tied to the US Communist Party.

      It’s no secret that Thompson spent time in prison for robbery, failed to finish school and read communist publications. After becoming a journalist, he published an article titled, “The Motorcycle Gangs,” which detailed the life of the outlaws who called themselves the Hell’s Angels. His full-length account of his time with the biker group, "Hell's Angels: The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs," was later compiled and published as Thompson’s first nonfiction novel years before “Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72” and “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream” propelled his career.
