Two months after King's death, escaped convict James Earl Ray was captured at London Heathrow Airport while trying to leave the United Kingdom on a false Canadian passport in the name of Ramon George Sneyd. Ray was quickly extradited to Tennessee and charged with King's murder, confessing to the assassination on March 10, 1969 (though he recanted this confession three days later). Later, Ray would be sentenced to a 99-year prison term.

The cigarette smoking man.... didn't you watch the X-Files?
In all seriousness, while James Earl Ray was convicted, there have been lingering questions about whether he acted alone or as part of a conspiracy. The real answer is probably buried very deep in a file cabinet at the FBI somewhere.

James Earl Ray
I did a search using the phrase MLK assassin Wikipedia to find the information for this.

James Earl Ray (keeping, of course, with the theory that all assassins use three names)

I do't think we truly know... Wikipedia didn't have it.
I read differently... I read James Earl Ray didn't assassinate him.
