Body of Proof Premieres Tuesday, March 29th, on ABC

ABC's long-delayed crime drama Body of Proof airs its premiere episode tomorrow, Tuesday March 29th, at 10 PM (ET/PT).

Body of Proof follows the life and career of Medical Examiner Megan Hunt (Dana Delany), once a high-flying neurosurgeon, who now works in Philadelphia's Medical Examiner's Office after a car accident abruptly ended her neurosurgery career. As a Medical Examiner Megan applies her vast medical knowledge, keen instincts and variously charming and scalpel-like personality to the task of solving the medical mysteries of the dead and bringing the people responsible for their deaths to justice.

In the opening episode, Dr. Megan Hunt teams up with her partner, medical investigator and former cop Peter Dunlop (Nicholas Bishop), when a female jogger is found floating in the Schuylkill River. Megan's investigation takes her out in the field where she meets old-school cop Detective Bud Morris (John Carroll Lynch), who is exasperated by Megan's tenacity and bull-headedness. But his partner, Detective Samantha Baker (Sonja Sohn), possesses a quiet respect for Megan's input, even if Morris doesn't. Meanwhile, as she's is trying to solve the female jogger's death, Megan has to solve a personal puzzle of her own -- what is the perfect present for her daughter's 12th birthday?
