The FBI has released its document cache of files containing information on Nikola Tesla, including his inventions like death ray and ball lightning, as well as how the government obtained his notes and memos following his death.
Tesla’s experiments and inventions, and incredibly forward-thinking vision, made him the target of FBI and government surveillance. Upon his death in the midst of World War II — which had been documented January 7, 1943, though the new cache of documents suggests he didn’t pass away until the following day — the FBI rushed to seize trunk loads of his work in order to prevent anything falling into the hands of Axis forces.
According to the newly-released information, the FBI even plotted to arrest a family member Tesla despised — who was believed to be friendly to the enemy — to prevent him using the familial bond to make a legal claim for the work.
Immediately after his death, the scientific papers contained in his hotel room vanished and are thought to have been lost or stolen.
At the very least, this confirms that the government did in fact raid Tesla’s hotel room and steal his research

Really. Then where did these documents come from?

Wow, damn.
EDIT: Something is odd. If you search "Nikola Tesla" or any variation of his name on the FBI Vault page, it only shows the two PDFs from the OP. If I use the link found in Zorgon's post, it brings me to a similar, more robust section of the FBI's Vault related to Tesla and contains the third PDF that I labelled as missing in the OP.
For example,
Zorgon's Link
OP's Link
Searching the Vault using the same term "Tesla"
Regardless, I will no longer use the ATS search engine and the source I used has been put on my naughty list. Sorry people, didn't mean to get everybody excited.
Thanks Phage

According to the Discovery channel documentary....
One of the people involved in returning Tesla's papers to the museum stated on record that when they received the documents from the US Government, many of the notebooks had pages ripped out.
Someone censored the work.
