Chadwick Mobley, 44, was sentenced Tuesday, April 15, to lifetime imprisonment without the possibility of parole by Judge Michael Nolan in the 40th Circuit Court in Lapeer County for the 2011 homicide of Andrea Eilber.
Mobley pled no contest in February to charges of First-Degree Murder, Felony Murder, and Felony Firearm. 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.
Kenneth Grondin, Eilber’s boyfriend at the time of her death, was originally arrested and convicted for her death. However, Grondin’s conviction was overturned in 2018, and the man successfully petitioned the court in 2023 to have his bond conditions of house arrest lessened, with the man now able to leave his home and travel around St. Clair, Lapeer, Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties.
He has been waiting for a retrial in the case, with no dates set or announced for the proceedings .
