Wild-eyed and fierce of aspect, social activist Ira Einhorn earned temporary celebrity of the nefarious kind for the 1977 murder of his former woman friend Holly Maddux.
Maddux had dumped him and moved away. When she returned to Philadelphia to retrieve her personal effects, she disappeared.
Einhorn, who was a contemporary of Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman, was nicknamed "The Unicorn" due to his last name.
Charged with the Maddux murder, Einhorn fled to Europe and remained at large for 16 years before being captured in France. He was extradited to the United States, where he had been tried in absentia and convicted of murder. His claims that Maddux was killed by the CIA fell on deaf ears, and he now resides in a Pennsylvania prison.
