Joseph_Sullivan_(FBI)
Joseph Aloysius Sullivan (February 17, 1917 – August 2, 2002[1]) was a Major Case Inspector for the Federal Bureau of Investigation from 1941 to 1977. Born in Montreal, Wisconsin,[1] he grew up in Hurley, Wisconsin and died in Manhattan, New York City. He was involved in a number of highly publicized cases in the sixties and seventies including the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.,[2] the murder of United Mine Workers reformer Joseph "Jock" Yablonski,[2] the Sterling Hall bombing at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and the Kent State shootings. Despite his involvement in such high-profile cases, Sullivan is best known for his relentless search to track down the killers of three civil rights workers, who were brutally slain in Mississippi in 1964.[3]
