Lester Eubanks was sentenced to death for the November 1965 murder and attempted rape of 14-year-old Mary Ellen Deener. After his sentence was commuted to life in prison, he was able to charm his way into the prison’s honor program, which gave him the opportunity to escape during an outing in December 1973. Lester has been on the run ever since, and is currently on the U.S. Marshals’ Most Wanted list.
Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Lester Eubanks. How does a man once on death row end up escaping from custody and eluding the authorities for over fifty years? One way is to allow him and others to go to the mall on an unsupervised shopping trip. Would anyone be surprised when a person with nothing to lose chooses to run?
