Bushy Haired Man Back On Sheppard Trial Scene
Two defense witnesses described a bushy haired man near Dr. Samuel Sheppard’s home the night Marilyn Sheppard was murdered. Leo Stawicki and Richard Knitter gave similar tall, 175 to 190 pound descriptions and said the $10,000 reward did not prompt their police reports. They placed sightings around 2:15 to 3:50 am on July 4, with details of hair, shirt, and distance from the Sheppard residence. Both said they reported later for other reasons, not the reward.
