Ray Escapee Used Dual Passports in Lisbon Flight Scheme
Raymond Ray fled detention in the United States and traveled via Lisbon on a British European Airways flight after obtaining a second Canadian passport in Lisbon claiming a spoiled original. He used the alias Paul Bridgeman in Canada, though no such Toronto resident was found. Authorities note fugitives sometimes seek a second identity with two passports. Ray’s movements from May 7 to May 13 remain unclear. He was arrested in London after cashing tickets and using forged credentials. The case links to the 1967 Missouri Penitentiary escape and the later identification of Eric Starvo Galt as the King slaying suspect.
