  • The 1965 murder of Mary Ellen Deener, a 14-year-old Ohio girl, shocked the small town of Mansfield when she was brutally beaten and shot by Lester Eubanks, a monster with a history of violent crimes. Despite being convicted and sentenced to death, this dirtbag infamously escaped custody during a 'supervised' Christmas shopping trip in 1973. Lester has evaded capture ever since, leaving behind only haunting questions about how he managed to remain hidden and what other lives he may have taken along the way.

  • Francis 'Marion' Parker was the daughter of an affluent banker. In 1927, Marion was taken from her school in plain sight by a man named William 'Edward' Hickman. Despite Edward having a clear motive for kidnapping 12-year-old Marion, he would be one of the first people to plead 'not guilty by reason of insanity' in the state of California. Was Edward possessed by an evil deity named Providence or was he just a massive dirtbag? The answer to this question seems pretty clear to us!

  • This week, Elysia and Savannah from Burden of Proof join us to tell us about when Ron Cohen and his family tried to sell their Long Island, New York, home and were asked to clear out everything in a crawl space that had been used for storage. This included an industrial barrel that had been inside the crawl space since the Cohen family had purchased the house ten years prior. Inside the barrel they discovered Reyna Marroquin, a pregnant woman who had been missing since 1968; over thirty years before. The unexpected finding opened an investigation that led straight to the woman's dirtbag boss, Howard Burton Elkins.

  • The 1800's were a time of superstitions and strong beliefs in the supernatural; but could a ghost really catch a dirtbag? That seems to be the case in the murder of Maria Marten. Maria's dirtbag fiance, William Corder, would have gotten away with it, had it not been for a visit from beyond the grave.

  • Scott Andrew Mink's actions on September 20, 2000, can only be described as a drug and rage fueled temper tantrum.

  • You just never know who is capable of murder. Sometimes it's someone you would least expect. That was certainly the case with the dirtbag, Deborah Belyea, when she murdered her husband, Alfred Belyea. The couple had been married for over 50 years but that was of little consequence when they could no longer see eye to eye.

  • In 2022, Jeremy Skibicki prowled through the streets of Winnipeg, Manitoba, preying on indigenous, homeless women. He purposely chose them because he considered them subservient to his superiority. This vile dirtbag did the most inhumane things to his victims, Rebecca Contois, Morgan Harris, Marcedes Myran, and 'Buffalo Woman', before discarding their remains into dumpsters. He proudly declared that it was all in the name of God, and in furthering the white race...but those were all just excuses to try and cover up his true motives.

However, as investigators dug a little deeper, they realized that the evidence began to speak for itself and told a very different story. Let us know if you think Ana was a victim or a full-blown dirtbag?!

Colin seemed to have the opinion that he could do whatever he wanted and then repent for his sins later.

Sadly, their affair escalated into a deadly plan to rid themselves of their spouses on May 18, 1991. For nearly two decades, the truth remained buried.
