Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Wednesday, April 8, 2020, at 8:00 p.m. Central for Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Ira Einhorn.  On September 10, 1977, after a five year relationship marred by infidelity and emotional and physical abuse, Helen “Holly” Maddux ended the relationship and returned to the apartment she shared with Ira Einhorn to get her belongings after Einhorn threatened to destroy them.  The couple attended a showing of “Star Wars” with friends that evening.  That was the last time she was seen alive.  After Holly failed to return to New York or to contact friends or family for birthdays, Thanksgiving or Christmas, her family hired private detectives, who traveled to Philadelphia and conducted interviews with the owner, superintendent and residents of the Race Street building, as well as friends of Einhorn and Holly.  In spite of Einhorn’s refusal to cooperate, in March, 1979, the investigators presented their findings to the Philadelphia Police Department, which gave the department probable cause necessary to obtain a search warrant for the apartment.  On March 28, 1979, Holly’s body was found in a locked trunk, in a locked closet in Einhorn’s apartment.  The keys to the two locks were subsequently found hanging on a hook in the kitchen.  In January, 1981, Einhorn fled the United States to avoid trial on a first degree murder charge.  We’ll talk about the case against Einhorn, his flight to avoid prosecution, his 1997 arrest in France, the extradition process and his 2001 return to the U.S.  We’ll also discuss Einhorn’s 2002 trial, conviction, sentence and direct appeal.  Finally, we’ll talk about his unsuccessful post-conviction efforts and his death on April 3, 2020, in prison in Somerset County, Pennsylvania.

Tonight we will discuss our thoughts on who should play who if they did a TIGER KING movie. We also discuss Joe's famous eulogy for his late husband.

Yolanda Saldivar.  Selena Quintanilla-Perez was a vibrant and exceptionally talented performer and fashion designer, whose life was cut short by Saldivar on March 31, 1995.  Saldivar was suspected of embezzling money from both Selena’s fan club and Selena’s businesses in Corpus Christi and San Antonio, Texas.  At some point, either after she was confronted about missing funds, or as a means of covering her scheme, Saldivar removed business records and resisted returning the records, which were necessary to prepare the business’ tax returns.  We’ll pay tribute to Selena’s life and legacy, including dispelling some of the myths about Selena’s career, her family and her marriage.  Finally, we’ll talk about the evidence against Saldivar, her trial, direct appeal and unsuccessful state and federal post-conviction claims.
