TW/CW: Suicide 

In 1954, Marilyn Sheppard was beaten to death. Her husband, prominent surgeon Dr. Sam Sheppard stood accused. He maintained his innocence, even after his conviction. It would take new science to exonerate him. This case provided the inspiration for the TV show The Fugitive (and later the movie with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones). We explore a second case too, the murder of Ron Rudin. Blood spatter evidence was key in both cases. Both have mysterious endings! 

Like all our cases this month, we build our forensic knowledge over the decades and finger printing is no exception. From the 1800's death of two children all the way to 2004 and the Madrid Train Bombings, it's still one of the first tools used in an investigation. Join us as we explore a few of the cases that used finger printing to solve a crime (and to imprison an innocent man).
