I've been past his former home in Bay Village; one of my sorority sisters lived down the street. I had heard about him and his family around town but never knew much about what happened, except that he was persecuted relentlessly. So many stories surrounding the life of Sam Sheppard and his murdered wife, Marilyn. I did meet Sam Jr. at a book signing years ago and he was passionate about his father's innocence as apparently, there are still people who believe he's guilty (which astounds me). This book was an amazing insight into his story, the insanity/lack of justice that he received, and about places down the road that people still talk about. I should have done my senior local history thesis on this topic! OMG.

I am interested in the Sam Sheppard murder case and I have been for over 15 years and I am eager to see if there is more information out there that I don't know. I'm quite sure I will finish this in a few days. Maybe less.
