1954: The Bay Village Murder of Marilyn Sheppard 📸 ...

(Sheppard claimed a bushy-haired intruder killed Marilyn and knocked him unconscious after a fight.) 📌 Click the link in our bio for the full look back. ✒ Vince Guerrieri 📸 cle_state, Michael Schwartz Library - Special Collections #cleveland #history #historicalfacts #murdermystery #bayvillage
