During this time he met a young Texan, Holly Maddux, and engaged in a five-year live-in relationship.  The contrast between the two was that of total opposites: Maddux, small, petite, and quiet, from a conservative Texas family; and Einhorn, an outspoken, charismatic liberal who was not only overweight for his tie-died t-shirts, but rarely bathed. Einhorn excersized a form of control over her, causing her to leave him for New York City in 1977.

When Einhorn found out she was involved in another relationship, he called her to come back to Philadelphia to claim her belongings; when she arrived back she vanished.  Police investigators were told that she arrived, picked up her things, and left.  In 1979, some 18 months after she disappeared and responding to numerous complaints of a foul liquid and odors seeping from Einhorn's apartment, homicide detectives gained a search warrant and found a steamer trunk under Holly's belongings inside a locked closet; within the trunk was Holly's mummified corpse.  When one fo the detectives turned to Einhorn and said that Holly was found, the response was "You found what you found."

Einhorn was represented by future senator [[Arlen Specter]], who succeeded in getting the judge to set bail at $40,000; in advance of the trial Einhorn was released when a mere 10 percent of the bond was paid.  Einhorn skipped bail just before trial began in 1981, hiding out in several countries in Europe, and supported for years by activist friends while on the run.  In 1993 he was convicted ''in absentia'' and received the death penalty; despite this he married Annika Flodin of [[Sweden]], and settled in the Champaigne district of France under the name "Eugene Mallon".

:''"Einhorn's new life began on Friday, when he and his bride zipped into Champagne-Mouton in her red Fiat. Until his legal status is resolved, it is a trip he will have to make twice a week, to check in with the local police department; otherwise, he will work at home on the five manuscripts he is allegedly preparing for publication, and resume his habit of surfing the Internet, perhaps for the first time under his real name. Einhorn and his wife doggedly ignored the American reporters following them, instead ostentatiously bantering with the merchants as they purchased goat cheese, pate, and a copy of the ''International Herald Tribune''. Noting the photographers snapping pictures of Ira and Annika as they bought their vegetables, the vendor joked that they could use the shots to make a photo album. "For Christmas," Ira said."''

While Einhorn was cloating over his new-found freedom, prosecuters were once more at work in new extradition attempts; in 1998 the governor of Pennsylvania signed provisions for a new trial which left the death penalty off the table [http://www.amgot.org/einhorn/holl_gov.htm]; in July 2000 the extradition order is signed, but appeals again delay the transfer.  Another year would pass before he was forced to board a plane bound for Philadelphia, but not before Einhorn staged another politically-motivated stunt: he slashed his neck with a razor, then called a press conference.

"Psycotronics" and other government programs was Einhorn's defense at his trial, as he once more tried to shift blame from himself to the U.S. government over Maddux' death; it was CIA agents who stuffed her body in the trunk and placed it in his closet, he insisted.  It took the jury less than two hours to find him guilty of murder, and he was sent to a state prison in Pennsylvania to serve a life sentence.
