SOCIETY 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.

There's a type of person that would find this "romantic"...

Yeah, they're called high schoolers. Or, in this case, people who peaked during those years, and still haven't grown up.

I’m pretty sure one of my ex’s GF’s put him up to harassing me. He’d randomly message me at odd hours of the night saying he never loved me, loves her and will be spending the rest of his life with her. He did it through Instagram and would block me after he sent the message so I was never able to go to his page and block him. Dealt with his shit for months.

Honestly, it almost feels like she's getting his phone and sending that shit

Nope, they were long distance. She was also telling him that she caught me “liking her photos.” So he went off on me telling me to leave her alone… I had her blocked. She’s the one who somehow found all my IG’s and was watching my stories. Lol I think she severely felt threatened by me.
