Crimes
Eichinger's first known murder occurred on July 6, 1999, when he killed Jennifer Louise Still in Bridgeport, Pennsylvania. Eichinger, who had developed a romantic interest in Still, went to her home to confess his feelings. When she rejected him, he became enraged and repeatedly stabbed her, ultimately cutting her throat before leaving the house.
On March 25, 2005, Eichinger committed a triple homicide in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. He went to the home of Heather Greaves, with whom he had worked at an Acme supermarket. Eichinger carried a large knife and a pair of rubber gloves concealed under his jacket. Upon arrival, he argued with Heather and then stabbed her repeatedly in the stomach. Heather's three-year-old daughter, Avery Johnson, witnessed the attack and cried for help. Eichinger then turned his attention to Avery, slashing her neck and stabbing her in the back with such force that the blade came out her chest.
Lisa Greaves, Heather's sister, was also present in the house. Eichinger encountered Lisa as she came out of the bathroom and stabbed her repeatedly in the stomach. He then returned to Heather, who was still alive, and slit her throat. Eichinger washed his hands in the sink before leaving the scene.
