During October, officers found human remains in the trunk of an abandoned car in Spokane, Washington, according to a police press release. It turned out to be a young man of 19 years old. Soon, investigators found a suspect in the murder: John Eisenman (60), the father of the murdered boy’s girlfriend.

Agents suspect that the young man was murdered by Eisenman a year earlier, in November 2020. He had learned a month earlier that his underage daughter had been sold to a Seattle-area prostitution ring. According to the police, he received information that her ex-boyfriend had done so, and was able to pick her up and bring her home that same month, the New York Post reported.
