Description

Ira Eignhorn is a well known 1970's activist, a force to be reckoned with far beyond the local hippie scene. His charm and seemingly harmless exterior brings him many followers and wins the heart of Holly Maddux, a young beautiful Bryn Mawr graduate. Yet, Ira has a much darker, violent side that Holly, after several years, can no longer tolerate and breaks off the relationship. Shortly thereafter, she disappears without a trace. Her family begins the search for Holly and 18 months later, her decomposed body is found by police in Ira's apartment. Ira believes he was framed and with the support of his followers, he promptly flees the country. Ira is tried in absentia, convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison, but the manhunt for Ira would take more than 16 years and extend around the world.

The Hunt for the Unicorn Killer.......2007-04-14

This movie is so well done. It's an amazing true story and I recall when the real Ira Einhorn started the first Earth Day. I highly recommend this movie.

Go for it if you're into murder mysteries........2004-08-30

This is the gripping, true thriller of the 60's-70-s activist, Ira Einhorn, who was accused in absentia of the blungeoning death of girlfriend, Holly Maddux in 79. This film is long, but well worth the time devoted to it, and the acting surprisingly, brilliant despite the fact it is a made for t.v. drama.

Sad, harrowing, awful story, well done.......2003-09-27

This movie documents the murder of Holly Maddux by Counterculture hippie Ira Einhorn(Unicron). This is an excellent film based on the history of the relationship between the monster Einhorn and innocent Holly. Einhorn murdered this poor girl and then left her body in a trunk in his closet for 18 months before the police found it.
Incredibly he was given bail and escaped to France, finally to be tracked down and eventually brought to justice in October of 2002 when after fighting many appeals and extradition in France he was convicted and sentenced to life in Prison. The movie details the trials up till 2001, so it's a little outdated. The film, though, is important as it spotlights the hypocrisy of the hippie counterculture, it shows how one of its leaders, who preached peace, only ruined people's lives and was a violent monster. We learn how conservative values turn out better in the end and how most liberals secretly beat and cheat on their wives and abort innocent lives. A wonderful account, much to learn here!
