Did the Government Kill Martin Luther King Jr.?
Episode 19
Monday, 19 January, 2026
Most of us were taught a simple version of what happened to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: a lone gunman, a closed case, a tragic end. This episode of Truer Crime looks beyond that familiar story. Drawing on historical records, testimony, and a little-known 1999 civil trial brought by the King family, it examines the years of surveillance, intimidation, and unanswered questions surrounding King’s assassination. Originally released one year ago, this episode feels newly relevant today, not because it offers easy answers, but because it asks what happens when narratives about state violence harden before the truth is fully known. Whether you’re listening for the first time or returning with new perspective, this is an invitation to slow down and look again. Want early access to every episode, all at once?
