I wanna know.

How did James Earl Ray know where MLK was gonna be and when he was gonna be there?

[Red Badger]

He didn’t.

The FBI did....................

[Robert DeLong]

If Ray didn't shot him, then why did he run immediately after the assassination?

On the afternoon of April 4, Ray checked into a boardinghouse in Memphis, with a bar called Jim’s Grill on the first floor. He paid $8.50 for a week’s stay. The rear of the boardinghouse faced the Lorraine Motel across Mulberry Street.

According to the criminal justice system of the state of Tennessee, James Earl Ray fired the shot from the second-floor bathroom of the boardinghouse. He then grabbed some belongings in a blanket, stashed the rifle in it, left the building and dropped the bundle in the doorway of a nearby building.

He drove away in a white Ford Mustang before the area was barricaded, went to Atlanta and then to Canada and England before being arrested in July 1968.

I don't know, maybe you should check the investigatory record. I bet it's in there.
