A man who divorced his ex-wife 48 years ago was found urinating on her grave.
In horrifying video, a hidden camera installed by family members shows the man coming up in his SUV, getting out, and walking over to a graveyard while leaving the vehicle’s engine running.
The man then proceeds to relieve himself while entirely ignorant that every action is being recorded on camera by unzipping his trousers.
The video was uploaded to Facebook by 43-year-old Michael Murphy, whose mother, Linda Louise Torello, is shown getting defecated on while lying six feet beneath.
He wrote, “THIS IS BREAKING MY HEART.” The gravestone of my mother has been desecrated by a man from Bergen County, New Jersey, and his wife as well virtually every morning as part of a ritual.
“We have proof from weeks and months ago.” Both the police and the media have been informed about it. Since 1976 or so, no one in my family has spoken to him, so we are not sure how he discovered the location of my mother’s burial. But this has its roots in an issue from approximately 50 years ago. Please spread the word and pray for us! Murphy published a blog.
Since Torello passed away from cancer in 2017 at the age of 66, her ex-husband may have been urinating on the grave for five years.
In Orangetown, New York, she is buried in the Tappan Reformed Church cemetery.
At first, Murphy saw a bag of excrement but assumed it had been dropped there accidentally, possibly by a dog walker. The following time he went to the site, though, he discovered the same issue.
The children of Torello obtained permission from the cemetery management to install a camera close to the grave in order to capture the offender before the police arrived.
They were astonished to discover it was a man who had a short marriage to Torello in the 1970s after seeing the video.
In addition, it seems that the man would take his current wife along as he drove to the cemetery every morning at dawn with the sole purpose of visiting Torello’s grave and peeing on it.
According to Murphy, the video and photos he and his sister took showed the man driving to the cemetery at about 6:15 a.m. practically every morning with the express purpose of peeing on Torello’s grave.
“This man gets his wife to go along with him to disrespect my mom’s remains every morning, but I can’t even persuade my wife to go out to dinner!” said Murphy fiercely.
“While I was hiding, I was trembling.” My sister was in tears. I got nauseous from being so furious, he told the Daily Voice.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, Murphy said that the man had stopped doing the daily practise since the video was taken.
I’ve been going every morning just in case, even though I think he’s stopped. However, I’m feeling really protective right now. Because of how unimpressive the cops were, at least if he sees a vehicle there, he will be discouraged from continuing to drive past, he said.
I vowed to keep my word to my wife and children that I wouldn’t harm him, but I’m frightened to face him for fear that I wouldn’t be able to maintain control if I came too near to him. He spent months or years doing this to my mother’s grave. You’re a better man than me because I would have murdered him, every officer I talk to has remarked.
Murphy described the severe pain he experienced as the result of being the target of such an act, which made his mother’s passing much more difficult to accept.
Please pray for me so I won’t endanger my wife, my kids, my home, my company, etc. Having this done is really harder than losing my mother, he stated.
The man did publish a statement on social media that read: “A storm is coming,” but he has not personally contacted the offender.
There were no explicit threats of physical assault, according to the Orangetown, New York police, thus there was nothing they could do.
Murphy informed police about the grave urination when they questioned him about why he may want to harm him, but they took no further action because they thought the man was “a few crackers short of a box.”
