Canadians Hunted Ray Through 200000 Passport Apps
A dozen Canadian Mounties spent 19 nights reviewing over 200 thousand passport applications to trace James Earl Ray. The search led to Ray’s arrest in London last Saturday after he used four Toronto names to live covertly in the city for nearly a month and obtain a passport under a false identity. The investigation tied to Ray leaving Canada May 6 and followed FBI photos, with a constable spotting the Sneyd alias later helping capture him. Authorities continue probing how Ray adopted the Toronto names and secured the passport, with ties to a Montreal trip and a car purchase in the United States under a scrambled name.
