‘Unicorn Killer’ Ira Einhorn, 79, dies in Pa. prison
Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | 4/3/2020 | Julie Shaw

Ira Einhorn, the notorious convicted murderer known as the “Unicorn Killer,” died of natural causes early Friday while in state prison, authorities said.

His death was not related to the coronavirus, Susan McNaughton, a state Department of Corrections spokesperson, wrote in an email.

Einhorn, 79, was being housed at the State Correctional Institution-Laurel Highlands in Somerset County. He died at 4:23 a.m., McNaughton said.

Einhorn was found guilty of killing his girlfriend, Holly Maddux, in 1977 and stuffing her body into a trunk that he kept in his Powelton apartment for 18 months. In 1981, just before his trial, he fled to Europe, and he remained on the lam for two decades. He was extradited from France in 2001, and convicted of Maddux’s murder in 2002.

Good. Now he can pal around with Arlen Spectre, the idiot who let him out of jail so he could flee the country.

His attorney was ... Arlen Specter

His fugitive years were financed by the Bronfmans and their friends

I saw an hour long documentary on him. Hard to believe just how sorry he was.

All he had to do in European countries was say that the CIA was framing him and they would immediately jump through hoops for him.
