The investigation into the July 1964 murder of Dr. Mary Sherman reveals significant discrepancies between official police reports and forensic reality. While the public was told a story of a psychosexual stabbing and fire in her apartment, autopsy documents show her arm and ribcage were disintegrated by extreme heat. Haslam argues that such damage required a high-voltage source, like a linear particle accelerator, which was not present in her residence.

A secret "Medical Manhattan Project" was established on federal property in New Orleans to mutate monkey viruses using a five-million-volt linear particle accelerator. Ed Haslam identifies the US Public Health Service Hospital as the true site of Dr. Mary Sherman's death, suggesting she was fatally burned by the machine during an experiment. He argues her body was later moved to her apartment to stage a conventional murder scene and hide the existence of the secret lab.
