Father charged with killing man who allegedly trafficked his daughter
John Eisenman, 60, of Spokane, was charged with first-degree murder in the death of Andrew Sorensen, 19, whose decomposing body was found in the trunk of an abandoned vehicle on Oct. 22.
Police said Eisenman learned in October 2020 that her underage daughter had been sold to a Seattle-area sex trafficking ring, apparently by Sorensen, her then-boyfriend. He was able to rescue the girl and bring her back to Spokane, police said.
A month later, the father allegedly confronted Sorensen and kidnapped him, tying him up and stuffing him in the trunk of a car.
Officers only discovered the man’s body after local residents reported an abandoned car on their street that was covered in mold and emitting a foul odor, the Spokesman-Review reported Tuesday.
John Eisenman allegedly killed Andrew Sorensen, accused of selling his teenage daughter to a sex trafficking ring in Seattle, Washington.
The vehicle apparently belonged to the victim’s fiancée, Brenda Kross, according to the report.
Inside was a man with his ankles and hands bound, duct tape over his mouth and multiple puncture marks on his clothing, according to the article.
A neighbor contacted police and told them that the father had admitted to killing someone and hiding his body in the trunk of a car, according to the article, admitted under questioning to confronting Sorensen last November and killing him, according to the report.
