- Biography
Dr. Richard Kimble was a pediatrician who was wrongly convicted of his wife's murder. Following his escape, he pursued his wife's one-armed killer while he himself was on the run from the authorities.
Richard David Kimble is a pediatrician from Stafford, Indiana who in the mid 1960s became the most famous fugitive in history. Born in 1930, Richard joined the Marines and became a corpsman. While serving in Korea, He was injured by an enemy grenade, but was rescued by a soldier named Joe Hallop, who was disfigured and mentally scarred by the battle enough to make an attempt on Richard's life many years later.
In 1955, Richard interned at a hospital in Fairgreen, IN, where He met a nurse named Helen Waverly. They fell in love and soon married, However when they tried to have a baby, Helen bore a son, but their child was stillborn and in the operation to save her life that followed, Helen was rendered completely infertile.
Richard wished to adopt a baby, but Helen, unable to believe that she could love another person's child, angrily refused and the two quarreled with enough frequency that on the night of September 19, 1961, Richard was about to take Helen out to a restaurant, but let slip that it was an eatery recommended by a member of an adoption clinic, which threw Helen into another rage. Richard stormed out of their house and drove off, wandering about the countryside and noticing a boy fishing in a lake before relaxing.
Unknown to Richard, Helen had telephoned Lloyd Chandler, the city's planning commissioner and their friend and Neighbor, who visited the house trying to calm Her down after she had begun drinking furiously. A commotion in their living room brought Helen face-to-face with a heavyset drifter whose right arm was missing. The stranger tried to escape, but in the ensuing fight, He threw Helen down and then killed her with a massive blow to her head with a lamp. Chandler, freezing in fear, couldn't bring Himself to intervene and the man escaped out the front door while Chandler soon snapped out of His funk and slipped out the back.
The One-Armed Man ran out and immediately ran into the returning Richard, who got enough of a look at His face to have the image seared in His memory. When The One-Armed Man fled, Richard ran into the house and found Helen's body. Interrogation by the office of Lt. Philip Gerard resulted in interviews of 83 men matching the description provided by Richard, none of whom were in the area at the time of the murder. Richard was convicted and sentenced to die, but after a year's worth of appeals, He was being escorted by Gerard to the death house in March 1963 when their train derailed.
The crash freed Richard from Gerard and He now became a fugitive, wandering the country and working low-paying odd jobs (those that require no identification or security checks and bring about little social attention) in His search for The One-Armed Man. Over the years, Richard received help from many individuals who understood His plight, such as Chicago news columnist Michael Decker (who went to jail for aiding and abetting as a result) and news writer Barbara Webb, who helped Richard rescue The One-Armed Man when He was injured in an accident. Periodically, Richard returned home to see His sister, Donna Taft; in one such visit, He was forced to confront His younger brother Ray, bitter over being mocked as Richard's brother. Richard managed to convince His brother of His innocence, restoring their bond. Meanwhile the bond between Richard and His Father, medical doctor John Kimble never faltered through John's death in 1966.
Dr. Richard Kimble was a vascular surgeon who was wrongly convicted of his wife 's murder. After escaping custody, he set out to prove his innocence while being pursued by U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard.
