America’s Most Wanted Recap for Fugitive Squatter Killer
America’s Most Wanted on Fox opens with John and Callahan Walsh introducing a new set of cases. Flash Shelton, the Squatter Hunter is also on hand to help with one of the cases.
CASE 1:
Dean Zentner talks about his mom Geralyn, while Debbie Springer talks about her dad Dave Covey. They talk about how Dave and Geralyn fell in love and got married in 1999. The couple loved the outdoors and being together. They had a cabin in Chesaw, Washington, where they often spent weekends.
One day, they discovered the power bill from the cabin was increasing in the winter, which was unusual, since there was nobody there. Geralyn and Dave went to investigate, and on February 13th, 2022, Dean and Debbie got a call that their parents’ car was abandoned with their dog inside.
There was a mad dash to get to the area. Tracks led them to an abandoned cabin, which looked like it had been in use. There was also a bicycle on the property, as well as a man, who ran away when he was spotted.
Mail addressed to Dylan Harrington, a 25-year-old man who lived off the grid. They didn’t think much of it until three days later, when the Covey’s property was investigated. Blood and charred bodies were found….and identified as Geralyn and Dave.
Dylan Harrington is now a suspect. He is a Caucasian man standing at five feet nine inches with brown hair, hazel eyes and weighs about 145 lbs. He would be 29 years old today.
Debbie and Dean talk about finding out about their parents’ murders as authorities discuss how the crime happened.
Dylan was last seen on February 15th, 2022. He is believed to be armed and dangerous.
Flash Shelton, the Squatter Hunter talks about the case. He also talks about how he has a similar situation at his mom’s house that he was planning to sell, which led to him hunting down squatters. Flash also explains ways to stay safe, including adding a non-trespass and more security.
He also thinks Dylan is used to this way of life now and could be anywhere off the grid and possibly working odd jobs or as a handyman.
Dylan could be in Washington, Idaho, Montana or Canada.

CASE 3:
An elementary school teacher turned principal named Jonathan Ullrich was the picture perfect role model for children….hiding as a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Kids reported Jonathan for touching them inappropriately, but there was not enough evidence to charge him with anything. The only thing that could be done was to get an order of protection.
