Dennis Wayne Eaton dating history

Details

Dennis Wayne Eaton (1957 – June 18, 1998) was an American convicted mass murderer convicted of killing a police officer and three other people in Virginia in 1989. On February 20, 1989, motivated by intentions of jealousy and robbery, Eaton conducted a series of shootings that led to the four murders. Firstly, Eaton gunned down his roommate Walter Custer Jr. before he killed his next-door neighbour Ripley Marston via shooting. After murdering both Custer and Marston, Eaton fled south together with his girlfriend in Marston's car, and during the journey, Eaton also killed state trooper Jerry Hines, before he subsequently crashed his car into a telephone pole while avoiding a subsequent police chase through Salem. As the police cornered the couple, Eaton fatally shot his girlfriend Judy Ann McDonald and attempted to turn the gun on himself, but he survived his headshot wound with medical treatment and was thus charged with the four murders.
