Marilyn Reese Sheppard, the wife of Dr. Sam Sheppard, was found murdered in their home on July 4, 1954. A set of fireplace tongs was unearthed in the back yard of Dr. Sam Sheppard by a neighbor who was putting in a new water line on November 19, 1982. The tongs were sent into the FBI Laboratory by the Bay Village Ohio Police Department for examination. It was requested that the FBI Laboratory examine the tongs by microscopic, chemical, and metallurgy analyses as well as a fingerprint examination. No final determination was made on the tongs.
__________________ Civil disobedience is the active refusal to obey certain laws, demands and commands of a government, or of an occupying power, without resorting to physical violence. It is one of the primary tactics of nonviolent resistance. In its most nonviolent form (known as ahimsa or satyagraha) it could be said that it is compassion in the form of respectful disagreement.
