An Aug 17, 1968 newspaper profile of MacArthur doesn’t mention an MLK connection. “Young MacArthur recently returned from Mississipi where he conducted youth crusades among the negro youth in many large public schools.”

You can listen to a Shelby Co. archived recording of live police dispatch from April 4, 1968, at this link. Be forewarned, however, that it is quite sad to hear.
Also, the police, FBI, & congressional reporters are all available in the original article.

Well, that was clear as mud. Given the chance to say that John MacArthur was at the Lorraine Motel on the night of MLK’s assassination, though, nobody said “Yes, he was.” Since the details of MacArthur’s story seem extremely unlikely, and noone is willing to say they saw him there, it’s not a story I’m willing to believe.

In reply to BrendtWayneWaters. Lol, yes, I did understate that. Of course, I planned to do that and had already contacted Perkins' foundation.
