Peter Manfredonia, 26, pleaded guilty in February to fatally shooting high school classmate Nicholas Eisele, 23, and kidnapping Eisele’s girlfriend during the 2020 spree.
Manfredonia offered his apology to Eisele’s family and friends — who wore T-shirts emblazoned with his photo inside a heart with words reading “As long as I breathe you’ll be remembered. Justice for Nick” — as well as his kidnapping victim Shannon Spies.
“There are no words that can possibly atone for what I have done. My actions were nothing short of reprehensible,” he said.Manfredonia, who also admitted to killing one elderly man and seriously wounding another with a Samurai sword, will be sentenced for additional murder and assault charges Thursday.Manfredonia pleaded guilty to shooting former high school classmate Nicholas Eisele and kidnapping his girlfriend.
It’s not clear why Manfredonia attacked the men, but a former acquaintance of his who had recently stopped seeing him lived in the area. Manfredonia then burst into another man’s house in Willington and held the 73-year-old hostage for 24 hours before fleeing with his victim’ truck and firearms. The man later told police that Manfredonia told him “he just flipped.”He showed up at Eisele’s home in Derby, Connecticut two days later and shot his old friend to death before forcing Spies into her car.Manfredonia let Spies free in New Jersey, ripped through Philadephia, and was tracked down by cops several days later in Maryland.
