Conspiracy Ruled Out in Escape Of Ray in Tennessee

The June 1977 report notes James Earl Ray and five others escaped Brushy Mountain State Prison, with Ray and three others recaptured by June 13. It cites disrupted telephone service, unmanned guard posts, and top officials absent, suggesting coincidences fed conspiracy theories about King’s 1968 murder.

Diversions Helped Escape From Brushy Mountain Prison

Authorities believe James Earl Ray and five prisoners escaped with no outside help, but 15 to 20 inmates actively aided by diverting guards during three staged incidents. Ray and others climbed the wall via a makeshift ladder and a gap in a 2,300 volt wire as guards were distracted. Warden Stonney Lane said up to 100 inmates may have known, with some questioned long hours but no charges filed yet as an internal probe continues.
