People usually regret inviting me to participate in “Earth Day”.
LOL! Heck, I don’t even get invited. So what’s the deal? Do you bring up ira einhorn and his “re-cycling” of his girlfriend? He may not have been THE guy that “invented” erf day but he claimed he did. Notice the name of his lawyer. Sound familiar?
Einhorn had a five-year relationship with Holly Maddux, a graduate of Bryn Mawr College who was originally from Tyler, Texas. In 1977, Maddux broke up with Einhorn, which infuriated him. She went to New York City and became involved with Saul Lapidus, a rejection that Einhorn would not accept. After learning about this turn of events, Einhorn called Maddux and lured her back to Philadelphia under the guise of retrieving her belongings. She was never seen alive again.
When questioned, Einhorn told police that Maddux had left to go to the store but never came back. The alibi came under scrutiny when Einhorn’s neighbors began complaining about a foul smell coming from his apartment, which in turn aroused the suspicion of authorities. Eighteen months later on March 28, 1979, Maddux’s decomposing corpse was found by police in a trunk stored in a closet in Einhorn’s apartment. After finding Maddux the police reportedly said to Einhorn, “It looks like we found Holly,” to which Einhorn reportedly replied, “You found what you found.” Einhorn’s bail was reduced to $40,000 at the request of his attorney Arlen Specter; Einhorn was released from custody in advance of his trial by paying 10% of the bond’s value, or $4,000. This amount was paid by Barbara Bronfman, a Montreal socialite, and one of many people Einhorn had convinced to support him financially.
