On April 4, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. But was it the act of a lone gunman, or is there more to the story?

We then dive into the chaotic final hours at the Lorraine Motel, the ensuing manhunt for James Earl Ray, and the lingering questions that still haunt King's assassination.
