“The Unicorn Killer”
I read about Ira Einhorn when I was a kid and the story has stuck with me. In the late ‘70s, Einhorn murdered his girlfriend Holly Maddux and shoved her body in a trunk in his closet. They were hippies, part of the counterculture in Philadelphia. One day, Maddux disappeared and Einhorn claimed she’d gone missing after walking to the co-op. His neighbors begged to differ – there was a terrible smell coming from his apartment. Police found the body and he went to trial, but he got out on bail and fled to Europe where he remained for almost 20 years. He was extradited back to the U.S. and blamed the CIA for Holly’s murder.
