Paul Merle Eischeid (born January 22, 1972 in California), is an American fugitive wanted for the brutal murder of a woman in Tempe, Arizona while he was a member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club. He is also charged with drug trafficking and violation of RICO statutes.
[edit] Criminal activity
Eischeid was one of more than 50 Hells Angels and associates arrested in 2003 as part of a major crackdown on motorcycle gang violence in Arizona. He was charged in connection with the homicide. Because he had a small prior criminal history and was holding a steady job at the time, a judge allowed Eischeid to bail out while he waited for his trial. Police says Eischeid removed the tracking device he had been ordered to wear and disappeared soon after.
[edit] Mainstream media
Eischeid first made headlines in 2004 when he was profiled on the T.V. show America's Most Wanted. After that, he was added on AMW's Dirty Dozen list. In 2007, the U.S. Marshals named him to their Top 15, sparking an international manhunt.
