The Manhunt for James Earl Ray

On April 4, 1968, James Earl Ray shot Martin Luther King while he was standing on a balcony of the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis, TN. The ensuing manhunt would last more than two months and span five countries. It was said to be the FBI's most expensive and ambitious investigation in history.
