Ira Samuel Einhorn (born May 15, 1940), known as "the Unicorn Killer", is an American environmental activist convicted of the murder of his ex-girlfriend Holly Maddux. On September 9, 1977, Maddux disappeared following a trip to collect her things from the apartment that she and Einhorn had shared in Philadelphia. Eighteen months later, police found Maddux's partially mummified body in a trunk in his closet. It had been packed with Styrofoam, air fresheners and newspapers. After his arrest, Einhorn fled the country and spent 23 years in Europe before being extradited to the US. He took the stand in his own defense, claiming his ex-girlfriend had been killed by CIA agents who framed him for the crime because he knew too much about the agency's paranormal military research. He was convicted and is currently serving a life sentence.〔 His moniker, "the Unicorn," came from his name, Einhorn — unicorn in German. ==Early life and activism== Born into a middle-class Jewish〔http://forward.com/the-assimilator/306565/jewish-earth-day-co-founder-killed-composted-girlfriend/〕〔http://www.nbcnews.com/id/42711922/ns/technology_and_science-science/t/earth-day-co-founder-killed-composted-girlfriend/#.Vk4u2CtZjYg〕 family, Einhorn studied at the University of Pennsylvania.〔.〕〔.〕 He became active in ecological groups and was part of the counterculture, anti-establishment and anti-war movements of the 1960s and 1970s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Earth Day co-founder killed, composted girlfriend )〕 He called himself "the Unicorn," because Einhorn and Unicorn translate as "One Horn".〔.〕 Einhorn was an active participant at the first Earth Day event in Philadelphia in 1970.〔 He later claimed to have been instrumental in the creation of Earth Day and launching the event,〔 but other event organizers dispute his account. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ira Einhorn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
