Kennedy's dress shirt, tie and jacket were put on display this week at the California Homicide Investigators Association Conference in Las Vegas.
The exhibition, "Behind-The-Scenes: The LAPD Homicide Experience," showcased evidence from notorious cases during the past 100 years, including actress Marilyn Monroe's death, the Manson family murders and the O.J. Simpson saga.

Sen. Robert F. Kennedy talks to campaign workers just moments before his assassination on June 5, 1968. The Los Angeles Police Department apologized for including the clothes he wore that day in a recent exhibition.
Police Chief Charlie Beck said the LAPD apologized and removed the clothing from the showcase after a member of the Kennedy family complained to the department about being "offended," according to the Los Angeles Times.
"The last thing we want to do is traumatize a victim's family, and I am very sensitive to that," Beck told the newspaper. "But at the same time, we want to preserve the history of the city of Los Angeles and improve the quality and understanding about our homicide investigations."
