Six Years Later, Families Seek Closure In B-N Deaths

Life was hard for Haileigh Eichhorn in the month before she died.

The 26-year-old Bloomington woman was caught stealing soap, lip balm, and mascara from a Kroger. A week later police found her huffing compressed air in a Walmart bathroom. Nine days later, police stopped her after someone spotted her huffing outside a funeral home.

Eichhorn told police she was homeless, had no money, and that her life sucked.

“She was going through a bad time in her life,” said her mother, Penni Eichhorn.

Haileigh was last seen alive Sunday, April 28, 2013. Nine days later, her body was found by a farmer in rural Stanford, about 15 miles west of Bloomington. Authorities said she was assaulted.

Her killer has never been found. It’s one of very few unsolved homicides in recent history in Bloomington-Normal.
