From Times Wire Reports

Authorities in Cleveland exhumed the body of Marilyn Sheppard about 45 years after she was murdered in a sensational crime that became the inspiration for the TV series and motion picture “The Fugitive.” The wife of Dr. Sam Sheppard, tried twice for the crime, was removed from her crypt so prosecutors could collect what they referred to as “a clean DNA profile” and examine the unborn child she was carrying when she died.
