Man who allegedly killed daughter’s boyfriend is no ‘hero,’ grieving family says: 'There is so much more out there about all of this that needs to come out.'
That’s what police said John Eisenman did. He is charged with first-degree murder 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 fiancé, Brenda Kross, told NBC affiliate KHQ of Spokane.
Sorensen’s mother, Theresa, said they had been advised by their lawyer and by the police not to speak publicly about the investigation. But she said that her son and the teenage girl had been friends for years and that it was upsetting to find out the gory details of her son’s death via the news. “We spent a year searching for him and hoping he would return,” Sorensen’s kin said in a statement. “Claims by his confessed killer have been very hurtful and only added to our family’s grief. The word ‘alleged’ means of an incident without proof. It has already been reported: Both the FBI and Washington State Patrol said there is no sex trafficking investigation into the victim.”
The FBI said it does not"comment on the existence or the nonexistence of any investigation." Law enforcement officials in Spokane did not immediately respond to a request from NBC News seeking comment.In July 2020, Sorensen pleaded not guilty to charges of fourth-degree assault, marijuana possession and intent to sell marijuana that were logged against him by the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office.
After Eisenman’s arrest, Brenda Kross and her daughter Ashleye Kross launched an online campaign to raise funds to pay for his defense, andhave given his cause a national platform. Eisenman is being held on $1 million bond in the Spokane County Jail.
