I have been covering true crime for Dread Central for a few years now. I would normally say that nothing shocks me at this point. However, I think I have outdone myself with this latest development. I recently caught wind of a disruptive display out of Cincinnati, Ohio that momentarily rendered me speechless. Brace yourself, dear reader.
Court documents reviewed by Fox 19 reveal that Laura Miniard allegedly entered the chapel at the Good Samaritan Hospital and defecated on the altar in May of 2023. That’s a bold move in and of itself. However, according to the police report, the accused was just getting started at that point. Official documents suggest that Miniard then wiped her behind on the carpet runner affixed to the altar stairs. Then, she allegedly picked up a photo she found elsewhere in the chapel and used the picture to smear excrement all over the altar table. Authorities arrested the suspect on charges of felony desecration.
That is a messy display of unpleasantness, to say the least. Why did the alleged perpetrator defile the hospital chapel? That remains a complete mystery. As it turns out, the court documents do not list a motive.

Court documents reveal that Miniard lives in Loveland (a Cincinnati suburb) with her mother and that she is licensed through Ohio’s Casino Control Commission as a casino gaming employee.
