True-Crime Fugitive Story Is Stranger Than Fiction

0

Have You Seen This Man? from ABC News, looks at the story of fugitive murderer Lester Eubanks who has been on the run for 45 years! U.S. Marshals recently added him to their 15 Most Wanted list. The first two episodes of the six-part series debut on Wednesday, October 23. The podcast is hosted by Sunny Hostin, ABC’s The View co-host, and host and Executive Producer of ID’s Truth About Murder.

While on bail awaiting trial for sexual assault in 1965, Eubanks shot and bludgeoned 14-year-old Mary Ellen Deener to death in Mansfield, Ohio, but escaped when, unbelievably, he was permitted to leave the prison to embark on an unaccompanied “good behavior” shopping trip just before Christmas in 1973.  While on the trip, Eubanks slipped away and was never seen again.

Go HERE for videos, photos and more, along with a new age-progression sketch of Eubanks by forensic artists at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Listeners will be encouraged to provide tips on Eubanks’ whereabouts to the U.S. Marshals by calling 866-4WANTED.
