OK, one more response, just because this is getting beyond hilarious.
Do you think before you write? If the FBI was leading the investigation, the NTSB would not have to request that the FBI retains control of the black box. They would do it by themselves without needing permission or a request from the NTSB.
Of course does the FBI have jurisdiction when a federal crime is involved. What you seem to be missing is that the investigation conducted by the NTSB revealed there might have been a crime involved in the crash, which is when the FBI joined the investigation and had jurisdiction for the criminal aspect of the case. That's entirely different from a full blown investigation, like they conducted after Oswald died.
And the only thing I was wrong about, which I now freely admit, is giving you way more credit than you deserve.

It appears that the NTSB requested the flight recorder box from the FBI so that the NTSB could do the further testing of the metal. And it appears that the FBI, for unknown reasons, gave them the complete package including the tapes, etc. The document states that the NTSB returned the tapes, etc back to the FBI for custody because this was clearly a criminal act as opposed to an accident. It is apparently basically a record of the chain of custody.
It appears that you are wrong (again).

Wrong example. This investigation was conducted by investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board. They are by law obliged to investigate all plane crashes and they use the resources of the F.B.I. to do it. The purpose of their investigation was to determine what caused the crash. It was not a criminal investigation, even though, at the end, they concluded that a lone gunman caused the crash.
At least it appears that you acknowledge that there was a criminal investigation. And it clearly did not end when the suspect died.
