Heard something today that Earth Day is 50 years old.One of the so-called "founders"of Earth Day was Ira Einhorn. He has a interesting history. He was kicked out of the group that organized it before it was held, but they let him speak. Seven years later in 1977. He was arrested for murdering his girlfriend. Her body was found stuffed in a footlocker in a closet in his apartment. His lawyer (Arlen Spector-yes, the guy that became a senator) got him released on bail. He skipped town and was tried in absentia and was given the death penalty. He was spotted in Canada, and then in France. John Walsh (America's Most Wanted and from Auburn and an alum of UB)Yracked him down in France and got the French government to hold him, but they resisted extraditing him to the US. Einhorn was finally sent to the US after Pennsylvania agreed to retry him and not give him the death penalty. One of the leaders of the movement should have been executed back around 1980.
