He killed his daughter’s boyfriend after discovering he sold her to a sex trafficking ring

It reads like a Hollywood thriller: a determined father rescues his 19-year-old daughter from an alleged Seattle sex trafficking ring, then takes his brutal and deadly revenge on the boy he claims he sold her into submission. He kills it and puts it in the trunk of an abandoned car.

This is what the police say John Eisenman did. He faces first-degree murder charges in the death of 19-year-old Andrew Sorensen, according to the Spokane Police Department and published reports.

“It was something that a lot of men say they would do for their daughter,” Eisenman’s girlfriend Brenda Kross told NBC’s Spokane affiliate KHQ.

But the parents of Sorensen, the slain youth, told NBC News that to save himself from a lengthy prison sentence, Eisenman and his family are demonizing a developmentally disabled young man who was born with autism and cerebral palsy and has no ties to the sex traffickers.

“He was a disabled child,” Randy, Sorensen’s father, said in a brief telephone interview. “He didn’t have the ability to traffic in sex with anyone.”

Sorensen’s mother, Theresa, said her lawyer and police had advised them not to speak publicly about the investigation. However, she said her son and the teenager had been friends for years and that she was shocked to learn the frightening details of her son’s death on the news.

What happened

Local police explained that in October 2020 Eisenman allegedly discovered that his minor daughter had been sold to a sex trafficking organization and that her boyfriend, Aaron Sorenson, may have been responsible for the sale.

Upon learning of this situation and according to the killer’s version, managed to save the young man and take her back to her home.

Safely at home, the victim said her boyfriend had been responsible for having to go through that difficult experience. Also, revealed where he was hiding.

A few days later, Eisenman kidnapped his daughter’s boyfriend, tied him up and left him in the trunk of a car. Eisenman subsequently hit him on the head with a cinder block and then stabbed him repeatedly, resulting in his death.

“After the murder, he drove the vehicle into a remote area and abandoned the car with the body still inside,” police said.

The car remained in the field until someone moved it in October 2021 Authorities said they did not believe the person driving the vehicle knew there was a body in the trunk.

Given the suspicious presence of the vehicle and the bad smell it gave off, some neighbors came to inspect it. It was at that moment that they found, in a terrible state of decompositionSorensen’s body.

Amber Hellmann, a young woman who lives in the area, said her boyfriend and another friend went to see the car after noticing it had been in the area for some time. “They were looking around and for some reason, they decided to look in the trunk and all I heard is, ‘there is a body’‘ he told KHQ-TV.

In investigating the case, authorities arrested John Eisenman for first-degree murder and placed him in the county jail on $1 million bail.

Judicial records obtained from The spokesperson’s review they said Sorenson’s ankles and hands were bound with thongs. He also had duct tape covering his mouth.

His clothes were torn, suggesting he had been stabbed multiple times. However, an investigation into the case is still ongoing to obtain more precise data.

In 2008, Liam Neeson starred in the movie ‘Taken’ as an avenging father with ‘a very unique skill set’ who rescues his daughter from Albanian sex traffickers. In real life, that scenario is “incredibly unusual,” said Kyra Doubek, executive director of Washington Trafficking Prevention and an expert on sex trafficking.
