The Fugitive: Marilyn Sheppard's Unsolved Murder
About this episode
The brutal 1954 bludgeoning death of Marilyn Sheppard and the controversial conviction of her husband, Dr. Sam Sheppard, is the most enduring murder mystery in Cleveland history. The horrible ordeal was the basis of the movie “The Fugitive.”
Dr. Sheppard’s conviction was overturned in 1966, but he died in 1970. Today, his family and the investigators who still fixate on the case believe the real killer was Richard Eberling, a convicted murderer and window washer at the Sheppard home.
