On Good Friday, March 25, 2005, in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, a young woman named Avery Johnson and her two housemates, Heather and Lisa Greaves, were found brutally stabbed to death in their home. The day began as any other, with one of the victims speaking to a friend on the phone in the morning, making plans for that evening. Concern grew throughout the day as friends were unable to reach any of the three women.
Later that afternoon, the horrifying discovery was made. The initial shock and disbelief among their friends and community quickly turned to a search for answers. The investigation into the triple homicide led police to a suspect, John Eichinger of Somers Point, New Jersey. It was revealed that Eichinger was an acquaintance of Heather Greaves and had developed an unreciprocated romantic interest in her.
According to authorities, Eichinger's motive stemmed from this rejection. He had reportedly planned the attack on Heather. Avery Johnson and Lisa Greaves were tragically in the home at the time of the attack and were also killed. A neighbor later reported seeing a man, believed to be Eichinger, leaving the residence on the morning of the murders with what appeared to be blood on his shirt, which was initially dismissed as paint. This eyewitness account proved crucial in leading to Eichinger's arrest.
