Summary
On the morning of July 4th, 1954, 31-year-old Marilyn Sheppard was found beaten to death in her lakeside home in Bay Village, Ohio.On the morning of July 4th, 1954, 31-year-old Marilyn Sheppard was found beaten to death in her lakeside home in Bay Village, Ohio. She was four months pregnant. Her husband, prominent osteopathic surgeon Sam Sheppard, claimed a bushy-haired intruder had knocked him unconscious before killing his wife. But his story had gaps, his marriage had secrets, and within hours, the man who called for help became the prime suspect. The case would soon become a national obsession and reportedly serve as the loose inspiration for the hit television series The Fugitive. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy introduces Marilyn, the years of affairs and broken promises that defined her marriage, and the night her quiet Ohio home became one of the most infamous crime scenes in American history.
