Portrait of Murder Victim Marilyn Sheppard

(Original Caption) Pictured here is Marilyn Sheppard, wife of Dr. Samuel Sheppard, wealthy Cleveland physician, who are both principals in a crime that has so far baffled Cleveland police. Mrs. Sheppard was found brutally bludgeoned to death in the couple's lake shore home in Bay Village (a suburb of Cleveland) on July 4th. The doctor himself was badly beaten. The doctor told a story of grappling with "one or two men" before he was knocked out.
