A man has been arrested for allegedly killing his daughter’s 19-year-old boyfriend for selling her into a sex trafficking ring, according to the Spokane Police Department.
He was said to have left the deceased young man’s body in his trunk.
According to Police, John Eisenman, 60, learned in October 2020 that his daughter’s boyfriend may have been responsible for allegedly selling her to a sex trafficking organization.
Eisenman was able to rescue his daughter and get her back to the Spokane area that month.
He was said to have confronted his daughter’s boyfriend in November 2020, tied him up and put him in the trunk of a car.
Police say he hit the man in the head with a cinder block and stabbed him repeatedly, causing his death.
Eisenman is accused of abandoning the vehicle with the body still inside in a remote area. The car stayed in that location until someone moved it in October 2021 and abandoned it in a different place.
People who rummaged through and took things from the car called police to report a foul odor coming from the trunk.
Responding officers were able to verify human remains were inside the trunk of the car, according to police.
Eisenman was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection to this case.
