We hear a sad tale from "Sarah," the long-suffering wife of one of Richard Lavigne's victims. She tells us about her husband's abuse at the hands of the murderer priest and the impact it had their family.

On the night of May 21, 2021, the suspected murderer Richard Lavigne died at the age of 80 from COVID complications. The local DA claimed he was getting ready to arrest the former priest and charge him with Danny Croteau's murder, but since Lavigne was dead, he now considers the case closed. On this episode of Devils and Dirtbags, Crash discusses the news of the death of this notorious child molester with the author of the Hells Acres blog as they listen to never-before-heard audio of Lavigne. 

In the season finale of Devils and Dirtbags, we tie up some loose ends and visit the spot where Danny Croteau was murdered on April 14th, 1972.

We hear from Danny Croteau's youngest sister, an inspirational woman named Cat, on how the 1972 murder of her brother impacted her entire family. 

Crash knocks on the door of Richard Lavigne and the child molesting ex-priest has a lot to say.

Father X, under the influence of bourbon and a willing listener, reveals all about his sordid family history... and why he turned out to be so evil.

Using the element of surprise, and a bottle of 100 proof bourbon, Crash gets Father X to tell his tale of woe.
