I used to know a guy who was one of Einhorn's followers.

Einhorn was a vicious murderer, liar and con artist.

Ex-guru Ira Einhorn dies in prison at 79, fled after slaying

SOMERSET, Pa. (AP) — A former hippie guru who lived the high life in Europe for years after murdering his ex-girlfriend in Philadelphia in the 1970s has died in prison.

Ira Einhorn, 79, died early Friday in a state prison in western Pennsylvania of natural causes, according to Susan McNaughton, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Corrections. The death at SCI-Laurel Highlands was not related to the COVID-19 virus, she said.

Einhorn was serving life in prison after being convicted twice — once in absentia — for the murder of Holly Maddux, who disappeared in 1977. Eighteen months later, her mummified remains were found in a locked steamer trunk in the West Philadelphia apartment they shared.

1. I knew somebody who knew him.

Einhorn was supposed to come to Cleveland for some event or another that I would probably have attended, but plans fell apart and he never came.

Just as well.

8. I knew this prick from Penn...

He used to hang on Locust Walk “charming” pretty girls. This fuck was one of those smarmy know it all gigantic ego-filled asshole (seen one lately on tv?).

WHAT I CANT FIGURE OUT IS HOW AND WHY ARLEN SPECTER GOT HIM OUT ON BAIL AFTER HE WAS CHARGED IN A MURDER ONE CASE!! They found her body in a trunk in his house, leaking bodily fluids as she mummified.

10. That's still a mystery to me too.

Specter was a pretty savvy guy. I don't see him being fooled by Einhorn, but I guess you had to to have been there.

The world will never know.

11. I think Ira was selling to someone close to

Arlen.

That family is not pristine despite their efforts to appear otherwise

Good riddance to that psychopath.

12. Good.

A little too late, but at least he's gone. Why do these bastards always live so long?

13. It took almost as long to get him in prison.
