The Unicorn Killer | Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes
Podcast: Scams, Money, & MurderPublished On: Sun Feb 15 2026
Description: Ira Einhorn was a celebrated counterculture figure, environmental activist, and self-proclaimed guru who helped promote the very first Earth Day—until his carefully crafted image unraveled. In this episode, Vanessa Richardson tells the chilling story of how Einhorn’s ego, manipulation, and hunger for control led to the brutal murder of his ex-girlfriend, Holly Maddux. From his rise as a charismatic leader to decades on the run across Europe, this episode exposes how ideology can mask abuse, how followers can become accomplices, and how one man used the language of peace and progress to hide a deadly crime in plain sight.
