Eisenman Sentenced for Andrew Sorensen's Murder | Spokane News

A 63-year-old man, John Eisenman, has been sentenced to over 23 years in prison for brutally murdering 19-year-old Andrew Sorensen in 2020 — a crime that shocked the nation and left a family shattered. Eisenman falsely accused Andrew of sex-trafficking their daughter, adding layers of trauma to an already devastating loss. His fiancée, Brenda Kross, already sentenced to 8.5 years, took responsibility early. Prosecutors called Eisenman the primary perpetrator, and despite claiming he was high on meth at the time, he admitted to binding, beating, and stabbing Andrew. He chose to plead guilty to spare the family a trial — but justice came anyway, as the court delivered a sentence reflecting the gravity of his actions. The Sorensen family, who spent nearly a year searching for their son before his body was found, spoke of Andrew’s joyful spirit despite his disabilities — and how the false accusation deepened their pain. Though closure is hard-won, they’ve received some measure of justice — though the grief will never fully fade. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
