Summary:  
The document details an FBI investigation into allegations that Burgess Audie Wilson, a former Tennessee Air National Guard member, confessed to assassinating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968. Wilson, married to Debra Jones from December 1974 to June 1975, claimed he killed King and told Jones he would be arrested for it. Jones later denied knowing about the alleged crime. The FBI sought verification of Wilson's statements, including his mental health history, alcoholism, and claims of owning a white Mustang vehicle linked to the assassination. Betty Lou Wade, Wilson’s ex-wife, stated he purchased a cream-colored Mustang in 1965 but never drove it to Memphis. Investigations also included checking Wilson’s whereabouts during April 1968, his incarceration for contempt of court in Texas (1972), and interactions with family members like his brothers Steven and Mark Wilson. The FBI coordinated with offices in Memphis, Jackson, and Dallas to gather information, including interviews with witnesses and review of legal records.
