Ira Einhorn: The search is over
He was Philadelphia's self-styled guru of '60s counterculture. He fled from charges that he killed his girlfriend, Helen "Holly" Maddux, in 1977. Sixteen years later, he was convicted of murder, in absentia. The saga seemingly ended in June 1997 with Einhorn's arrest in France. But a French court had other ideas. Here is a compendium of Einhorn news from the Inquirer and Daily News:
