"When you allow a man to be murdered with impunity... [when] you will not show any substantive interest in who did the killing... it's grotesque. I think it's really grotesque to name a holiday after somebody, celebrate a holiday after somebody, when you can't, you won't, look into someone's murder."
--Dave Emory on the assassination of MLK

The events surrounding Martin Luther King's death remain controversial to this day, nearly 30 years after the fact. But perhaps more controversial than the facts of the case itself is the apparent lack of continued public outrage over the loose investigation and conflicting evidence regarding the shooting.

This ParaScope special report investigates the mysterious circumstances surrounding King's death, examining a bewildering and contradictory tapestry of unsettling evidence.
