Escapees Narrow Down With Ray Still At Large
FBI commandeered the search for James Earl Ray after a fellow escapee, David Lee Powell, was recaptured near Frozen Head State Park eight miles northeast of Brushy Mountain prison. The manhunt broadened as authorities track the others through a rattlesnake infested mountain terrain with helicopters and dogs. Powell and six other escapees face conspiring to violate a federal flight statute as the search continues through Saturday.

Ray refuses 1967 escape details in Tennessean interview
Ray, serving 20 years for armed robbery at Missouri State Penitentiary, dodged questions about his 1967 breakout during a copyright interview with Marsha Vande Berg. He hinted inmates aided the escape but denied official help, and remained a fugitive as MLK was slain. The case spurred conspiracy talk among figures like Jack Kershaw and Walter Fauntroy, while others urged Ray be captured alive.
