Einhorn blamed others for killing his girlfriend, skipped bail before his trial, and was on the lamb almost 20 years before being brought to justice.

Next-level psychopath tops Ira Einhorn
Besides writing extensively about my former acquaintance, Ira Einhorn, in my book, Privileged Killers, I've blogged about this next-level psychopath here and here. Plus photos here.
