A Spokane, Washington, father is accused of killing his daughter's boyfriend, believing he sold her into sex trafficking in Seattle last year.

While investigating the case, detectives learned that 60-year-old John Eisenman Sr. found out his juvenile daughter had been allegedly sold to a sex-trafficking organization in the Seattle area in October 2020 for $1,000. 

Eisenman said his daughter’s 19-year-old boyfriend may have been the one responsible for her sale. He was able to rescue his daughter and get her back to the Spokane area shortly after she was taken, police said. 

A month later, Eisenman tracked the victim's movements and followed him to a location at Airway Heights in Spokane County, police said. After a confrontation, Eisenman allegedly abducted the boyfriend, identified as Andrew Sorensen, tied him up and put him in the trunk of a vehicle.

According to a news release issued by police, Eisenman hit the victim in the head with a cinder block and then stabbed him repeatedly in the abdomen, causing his death.

"After the homicide, Eisenman drove the vehicle to a remote area in North Spokane County and abandoned the car with the body still inside. The vehicle remained at that location until it was moved in October 2021 by a 3rd-party and driven to Spokane. At this point, it is not believed the 3rd-party knew the body was in the trunk. The vehicle, with the body still in the trunk, was abandoned at the Everett [Ave.] location. While parked on Everett, individuals were rummaging through the car and taking items when they made the gruesome discovery," Spokane police detailed.
