Sandra Eichorn, a 64-year-old retired General Motors employee who lived on Genesee Drive in Lansing, Michigan, was found in her home on August 27, 2007, the victim of a savage attack. An autopsy showed she had been stabbed 36 times with a kitchen knife and had also been beaten. Her death came during a string of violent attacks on women in the area that summer.

Investigators linked a business card found in a bowl of spaghetti Eichorn had been eating to Matthew Macon, who later confessed that he used the card as a pretext to talk to her and offer yard work before forcing her into her home. Macon, recently paroled the month before the killings began, was arrested and charged in Eichorn’s death along with the killings of Louise Delgado-Yates and the assault of a third woman who survived.

Macon’s trial opened in May 2008; a jury convicted him of two counts of first-degree murder, assault with intent to commit murder, torture, and home invasion. On June 18, 2008, he was sentenced to life in prison. Does anyone have more information about Eichorn’s life in Lansing or remember her from Genesee Drive?
