Summary: The document contains FBI records related to James Earl Ray, a suspect in the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., which occurred on April 4, 1968. Ray was arrested in 1969 and later pleaded guilty to the murder, though he maintained his innocence until his death in 2001. The FBI investigated Ray's activities, including his movements and potential connections to conspiracy theories surrounding MLK's assassination. References such as "F31 MEMPHIS" denote FBI field offices or case numbers, while codes like "TWO ZERO R DASH THREE" may relate to forensic evidence (e.g., laundry marks). The text also mentions a "one million dollar bounty" on MLK, a detail from 1968 conspiracy discussions. Additionally, the FBI tracked Ray's family members, including Jerry William Ray (allegedly his brother), and monitored correspondence involving Marjorie Petters, who resided in Camden, New Jersey. Surveillance noted a 1964 Cadillac linked to Petters' address, potentially tied to Ray's activities. The documents reflect the FBI's efforts to investigate potential conspiracies and fugitive movements during this period.
