INTRODUCTION

Ira Einhorn in 1970 Hosting Earth Day

You are probably reading this for one of three reasons:

The first reason is that youÔve heard of Ira and his role in the 1960s, and

youÔre interested in either him or the 60s. If thatÔs your reason for picking this book

up, you will be rewarded considerably. You will get to know quite a bit about Ira and

all the people he knew who shaped that marvelous decade with their contributions to

science, art, and society.

The second reason might be that you knew Ira back then, and youÔre curious

about what life on the run was like for him. If so, you are part of an amazingly large

group of people who knew Ira. He traveled constantly in those days on both sides of

the Iron Curtain and met people who introduced him to other people who

introduced him, and so on. You will find out what you want to know, for sure.

Third, you may be reading this book because youÔve heard about the death of

Holly Maddux, and you want to know if Ira did it. Maybe youÔve seen one of the

many TV specials about Ira and the case or interviews with him or the biopic.

Perhaps youÔre convinced he did it. After all, he was convicted twice. You just want

to know what kind of man could do something like that. Or, perhaps you believe

IraÔs denial, and you know innocent people are sometimes convicted (just as the guilty

can go scot-free). You want to know what Ira has to say about the case.

If the third is your reason, you wonÔt be disappointed. Ira has always

proclaimed his innocence, and even as I write these words, an appeal of his

conviction is being processed. On the other hand, perhaps indirectly, this book may

shed some light on the question of whether Ira is or was the kind of man who could

have murdered his girlfriend, stuffed her body in a trunk, and hid the trunk in his

closet for a year and a half.

If the third is your reason, I encourage you to put aside any conclusions you

might have already drawn regarding his guilt or innocence, to the extent you are able.

Otherwise you will be mulling over every sentence and paragraph, asking yourself

whether it substantiates a conclusion of guilt or a conclusion of innocence, and you

wonÔt really have read the book. Many of your answers are in the Epilogue.

HereÔs where I stand. When word first reached me that Ira had been charged

with HollyÔs murder, I was filled with disbelief. This man I had known was simply not

the kind of man who would commit homicide. My work as a psychologist for twenty-

five years brought me into contact with adult and juvenile killers. I conducted a study

of juvenile killers, published my findings in a respected professional journal, and

presented them in addresses to national meetings of juvenile and family court judges.

In other words, my assessment has experience to back it up.

Secondly, Ira frequently told his many friends in the 1960s that some day he

might be framed for something and/or killed because he knew too much about the
