About this book

The harrowing tale of Ira Einhorn, who was Philadelphia’s leading 60′s hippie and 70′s New Age activist — supposedly a beacon for pacifism and good feelings. This all changed in 1979, when a search of his apartment for evidence related to the disappearance of his girlfriend 18 months earlier yielded her body, mumified in a trunk in his closet. Einhorn claimed frameup, and the powerful friends he had charmed over the years, politicians, scientists, businesspeople, and thinkers supported him. His lawyer Arlen Spector (now Senator Spector) won him a low bail. But before his trial, in 1981, he fled.
