Who killed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.? For 99% of America, the answer is James Earl Ray, an alleged racist loner arrested on the run in England shortly after the assassination. GNN Photo of Dr. King and Mrs. Coretta Scott King with friends.
Ray initially confessed, but later recanted and protested his innocence for three decades before dying behind bars in 1998.
Shortly before he died, MLK's son Dexter met with Ray and came away convinced he was telling the truth. The meeting was coordinated by William Pepper, Ray's lawyer and a longtime King family friend.

The news barely caused a blip. An MLK conspiracy, it appeared, was one conspiracy too many for the American news media, and public.
