Chadwick Mobley, 44, pled No Contest yesterday, February 17, to First-Degree Murder, Felony Murder, and Felony Firearm in the 40th Circuit Court in Lapeer County for the 2011 homicide of Andrea Eilber.
In 2011, Eilber was shot in the head at the home of a relative in Lapeer. Evidence found at the scene was tested for DNA during the immediate investigation, and again in 2022 in a renewed effort that positively identified Mobley, who by then resided in the state of Utah. Mobley fled his home shortly after questioning by Michigan State Police and was later apprehended by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department in Libby, Montana, before being returned to Michigan to face criminal charges.
Mobley was bound over for trial in December of 2023 to face one count each of First-Degree Murder, Felony Murder, and Felony Firearm. Mobley will next appear in the 40th Circuit Court in Lapeer County before Judge Michael Nolan for sentencing at 4:00 pm on April 15, 2025.
First-Degree Murder is a felony punishable by a maximum sentence of lifetime imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
Dates have yet to be set by the Court for the upcoming trial of a co-defendant previously charged for the same murder.
