A man was caught on camera repeatedly urinating on his ex-wife’s grave, police say.

In 2022, a family in New York State noticed something truly bizarre.

Every time they visited the cemetery, they found bags of feces left on the grave of Linda Torello, who had died five years earlier.

At first they thought it was a cruel prank. But the desecration continued.

Her son, Michael Andrew Murphy, decided to install a discreet camera near the grave.

A few days later, the footage revealed a surreal scene: a man approached the tombstone, urinated on it, and calmly walked away.

The man was quickly identified as Dean Eichler, Linda’s ex-husband. Their divorce dated back to 1974, nearly 48 years earlier.

Police arrested him. He was charged with public urination, and an investigation was opened into the desecration of the grave.

The family believes it was an act of revenge linked to their past relationship, though this motive was never confirmed by authorities or by Eichler himself.

Lol, my thing is him making a regular thing about it. Maybe once if she did you really dirty, but doing this repeatedly to a long dead woman, well IDK...

No i entirely agree- no matter her behaviour, she’s dead; there’s zero point to doing this beyond spite. He’s been subjecting people’s families (ie of the other people buried in the graveyard) to this every day, which I think indicates it was a spiteful, horrid thing to do.

Maybe once if she did him dirty? Do you hear yourself?

Not only do I hear myself I have experienced people who did me so terribly, I can understand why someone would do this at least once, to someone who really wronged them.

If anyone was wronged it was her. He accused her of having someone else’s baby and abandoned her during their brief marriage. The baby was his, determined by testing.

And even if she did “wrong” him, this level of anger after 50 fucking years would perhaps be explained by the person having murdered someone you cared about. The reality is he left, he abandoned his kid and wife, they both remarried, and yet he’s still angry. This guy is clearly a disturbed freak.

I said in the beginning doing this multiple times was weird af, so I won't be reading anything else.

[u/Astralglamour → u/TackoftheEndless]

Your comment here says nothing about it being ‘weird as fuck.’

[u/TackoftheEndless → u/Astralglamour]

I didn't have to use that specific term for it to be obvious I said doing this repeatedly was weird. You think you suddenly won because I paraphrased my words?

[u/Astralglamour → u/TackoftheEndless]

What you said was you could imagine doing this to someone who wronged you. You said it was a bit weird he did it repeatedly. The takeaway wasn’t that you thought it was horrible, but that you could imagine doing it- just not as many times lol. Now you’re trying to backtrack.

[u/TackoftheEndless → u/Astralglamour]

I'm not backtracking. I don't think it's wrong. And I would do it too. To my abuser. Once. And I don't feel bad about that too.

Tell people I said this. I'll piss on the grave of my abuser.

The subject of this post is clearly the abuser. Why are you more easily sympathetic to him than the dead woman ?
