A father killed his daughter’s 19-year-old boyfriend by repeatedly stabbing him and then stuffing him inside a car trunk after finding he’d sold her into a sex trafficking ring, detectives have revealed.
Aaron Sorenson’s rotting corpse was found in the trunk of an abandoned car on East Everett Avenue in Spokane last month, police said on Monday. Detectives believe he was killed in November last year.
Eisenman discovered in October of that year that his juvenile daughter had been sex trafficked into Seattle by Sorenson for $1,000, according to a police press release.
He was able to rescue the girl from the city and bring her back to Spokane that month.
He then learned that Sorenson was going to be at an address in Airway Heights so he drove there and waited for the 19-year-old to arrive.
‘During that encounter Eisenman abducted the victim, tying him up and placing him in the trunk of a vehicle. Eisenman subsequently assaulted the victim by hitting him in the head with a cinder block and then stabbed him repeatedly, causing his death,’ police said.
‘After the homicide, Eisenman drove the vehicle to a remote area in North Spokane County and abandoned the car with the body still inside.’
This is quite literally the plot of a Hollywood franchise staring Liam Neeson that grossed almost a billion dollars.
I am absolutely fine with this by the way.
Parents should have every right to hunt down and kill, as painfully and gruesomely as they want, people that sexually abuse or exploit their children.
I’d nullify this jury in a heartbeat.
“Not guilty, you’re free to go, here’s a ‘World’s Best Dad’ coffee cup I got for you on the way home last night.”
I know Miguel has a problem with frontier justice, but as I watch our judicial system become ever more corrupt and perverse, I get more and more comfortable with letting parents solve the sex offender problem however they see fit.
We all absolutely know that Seattle would not have done anything to the boyfriend for the sex trafficking of a minor.
And to be totally honest, that fact that the state is going after a guy who killed the man that sold his under age daughters into prostitution is just more proof our elites are a cabal of pedophiles.
Well, ya see we had this well designed judicial
System that just went to hell in a hand basket.
Then, ya know, folks just started taking it upon themselves to fix shit that was broke. You know, good, old fashioned, effective vigilantism.
That old good book is pretty clear about an eye for an eye.
What’s not to like? Well, the morally smug will insist that justice will not be served by self service. Turns out that POS system was only kind to the folks at either end of the food chain and the poor bastards in the middle got routinely fooked.
Feckin eejits gonna get their due. Just a small matter of when and how as we go forward.
If the system worked, then folks might have some faith in reasonable outcomes. The data says the system is FUBAR.
Folks have had enough.
Can’t say that I blame them. In fact, I’d say that if 911 stops responding for some time that lots of wrongs will be righted. I could be wrong but lack of consequence has been the tinder for lots of egregious behavior here lately.
Slippery slope argument applies here.
How many times do you see someone make ridiculous claims of why they are justified in committing murder. Happens all the time on the cop shows. “They embarrassed me!” “They stole my boyfriend” etc…
And there are plenty of examples from real life as well. A teenager on Long Island killed his parents because they would not let him drive the good car. (Note the bad car was a late model Lincoln Towncar.) The Menedez brothers, OJ, etc…
As much as I agree a father has the right to protect his children from predators, laying in wait and committing a pre-mediated murder is a threshold I am not exactly willing to cross. Well, not willing to cross casually and without concern about the long term impacts.
I agree on principle.
But given how our justice system turned into a Progressive Just US system, this sort of thing was bound to happen until the system renormalizes.
Either the state puts child sex traffickers in grave or parents do. Those are your only choices. If you don’t want parents to do it, the state can’t abdicate its responsibility.

No. “I killed him because he sold my underage daughter into prostitution” is not a slippery slope to ” he looked at me funny so I shot him” in any way. Nor does having three beers on a Saturday lead to being a meth head.
Not talking about the person who took the action to remove a predator from society. I am talking about the legal system ignoring a homicide because the perpetrator felt they were justified in killing someone.
That is the slippery slope that led to San Francisco ignoring property crimes of less than $950, and it is the slippery slope that is allowing courts across Europe to ignore the rampant rape happening by the muslim invaders. Oh… they are of a different culture, we need to respect that is a BS excuse for ignoring a premediated crime.
This was a premediated murder, not some father catching a pervert attacking his underage daughter. There is no indication the man even tried to work the legal system.
Last time I checked, we are a nation of laws, and while I fully support a father’s right to protect his daughter, letting the court system ignore the homicide is not going to work out well.
JKB is absolutely correct, when the legal system chooses to protect the criminal, I can absolutely support the person committing justifiable homicide, because they know they will not see justice otherwise. But, as soon as I give this guy a pass, where does it end?
Would anyone know the name Treyvon Martin, Michael Brown, or George Floyd if they were not repeatedly given a pass for their transgressions? What about Nicholas Cruz? A girl was raped in her HS bathroom because the schools refused to punish a sex offender because they had reasons.
Are we really that different? We want to claim the rule of law matters, but also want to ignore it when we feel justified in doing so? Are our motives so pure? Are we really in the right here?
I do not want this guy to be charged, nor do I want to see him go to jail. I have no idea whether I would remain so rational minded if it were my family. I probably would not be. I would be thrilled to see this father get acquitted, who wouldn’t. But, if he does not get charged with something, where does it end?
Those are fair points. I think the just answer would be jury nullification: he gets charged, and the jury votes “not guilty”. That way the law is preserved, but the judgment of the community is that the person charged did not act wrongly. Such an outcome would be analogous to the mid 1800s cases under the Fugitive Slave law, where juries refused to convict people who clearly had done what was charged — the jury essentially deciding that while he may have done that, doing so wasn’t a criminal act.
There’s a lot to think about here. I agree with J.Kb that there isn’t a slippery slope here. People already kill each other for no reason – disrespected, settle a beef, a pair of shoes, drugs, etc. This is different. The father found out about this, rescued his own daughter (did the cops decline to act?) and then made a decision. What evaluation he made before deciding to take this scumbag out we do not know. Did he think that turning the kid into the police would reach a dead end? Or maybe he just said fuck it, and went into Punisher mode. Maybe in the current justice system, he deserves to be arrested and put in front of a jury. I can tell you right now, if I’m on that jury no way I convict.
I think what some are getting at is prosecutorial discretion – should he even be charged? We watched all summer 2020 as liberal prosecutors declined to charge for looting, arson, and assault. The Rittenhouse trial started this week, did the guy that got his bicep evaporated get charged for assault with a deadly weapon? He was armed and going after Kyle….as far as I know he’s still walking free, just doing less curls. Lots of things should be prosecuted and aren’t….this is an extreme test of that.
I would argue that, although the legal system cannot be condemned for charging and trying the dad (that’s its purpose after all), the jury is not required to convict him. It is a matter of each juror’s conscience as to what verdict they reach and they are “instructed” by the judge as to the law, but they cannot be compelled to find a particular verdict even if in conflict with those instructions.
It is the legal system’s role to enforce and execute the laws. It is the jury’s role to seek justice. That’s part of the reason we have a jury system in the first place.
My guess is, if the dad doesn’t take a plea and this goes to trial, it will be a hung jury. Some will follow the law and vote to convict, but I’d bet there will be at least one dad on the jury who won’t agree.
Of course, they can re-try him, but I’d expect the same result no matter how many times they try him.
But I wouldn’t be surprised if they offer him a very good plea deal and he takes it. Less risk for all involved.
Mmmm, OK. So, believed killed last November. Corpse found last month? So, a corpse sits in trunk of an abandoned car in Spokane for 11 months?
Nice neighborhood.
“The case broke in mid-October when residents of East Everett Avenue noticed an abandoned car on their street. Police said people began rummaging through the unlocked 1991 green Honda Accord, taking some items and noticing a foul odor.
When they popped the trunk, they found a body and called police.”
It was up in Hillyard, which is a mix of OK and nasty – call it “shithole-adjacent”.
Popping the trunk wasn’t looking to see what the smell was, it was “free shit yay!”. And I fully expect that before they called the cops, they yoinked any valuables from the body and trunk…
It’s not Seattle-levels yet – there, I’d expect someone to dump the body on the street and take then entire car – but it’s working downwards. At least we have real winters here, which winnows out some of the hobo population.
I bet we will learn this guy and his habits were well-known to the police, but prosecutors wouldn’t do anything to him.
I could never vote to convict a father for killing someone who enslaved their little girl.
Poor choice of body disposal method. Should be fined for littering at most.
IMHO the only thing he did wrong was not disposing of the body correctly.
Any word on a GoFundMe for his defense?
Yep, if he’d dropped the POS into deep water with the concrete block tied around his neck or buried him deep, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
Several popped up as soon as the story did but I can’t say I trust a one.
People forget that the police aren’t there to protect society. The police are there to enforce the law, so that the people don’t have to. They provide due process. Otherwise, justice degrades to lynch mobs.
Crimes happen with or without police. Punishment happens without police. Trials only happen when you have police. No police, no trial. Proceed from accusation to violent punishment.
Therefore, the police are there to protect the rights of the accused.
Last way of disposing a body. I live in this area and there’s plenty of open land to hide it.
If events were actually as reported, I can only think that I would vote to acquit, as well as buy one of J.Kb;s coffee mugs. .
“Victim” should have excercised his Constitutional rights by turning himself in and demanding a trial by jury before the executioner caught up with.
Doesn’t look as if anyone was actually looking for the little bastard. Just bad luck on the father’s part.
