KC Grondin, Convicted for Murder by a Hair, Gets New Trial After 3 Years in Prison from Investigation Discovery

On November 16, 2011, Andrea Eilber, age 20, was found dead in the basement of her aunt’s home from a gunshot wound to her head. Since 2015, Keith Carl “
KC” Grondin, Eilber’s 19-year-old boyfriend, has been serving life in prison for her murder.
However, Grondin’s conviction has raised so many questions — many of which are explored on the
“Convicted by a Hair” episode of the ID series
Reasonable Doubt — that the Michigan Court of Appeals has now ordered a new trial.
KC Grondin and Andrea Eilber met while working at the local Kroger supermarket. They began dating in May 2011.
Friends of each described them as coming off smitten with one another to the point of being, as many young couples are, almost annoyingly
“lovey dovey.” It was Grondin’s first-ever romantic relationship.
On the night Eilber died, she had been housesitting for her aunt, and she invited Grondin to come over with movies for them to watch together.

Grondin said he arrived at the scheduled time and was surprised to see Eilber’s car not parked in the driveway. He then says he knocked on the door, and the house seemed empty.
An hour later, he got a text from Eilber’s phone telling him she had to cancel and they could talk tomorrow. Grondin said such a move seemed completely unlike his girlfriend.
