Get ready—this is a wild one.
On January 20th, Inauguration Day, U.S. Border Patrol agent David Maland, 44, and fellow agents intercepted 21-year-old Teresa “Milo” Youngblut along with German citizen Felix “Ophelia” Bauckholt in northern Vermont, close to the Canadian border.
Youngblut opened fire at the agents, leading to an intense shootout.
Both Maland and Bauckholt died in the confrontation, while Youngblut sustained injuries during the exchange.
Youngblut was apprehended in Washington the following week and is charged with one count of using a deadly weapon in an assault on a United States Border Patrol agent, along with one count of firing a weapon during the assault.
A judge has ordered that Youngblut remain detained without bail until the preliminary hearing set for February 7th.
Federal investigators are now also looking into 32-year-old Michelle Zajko, who police claim purchased the firearms used in the shooting of Maland.
Zajko, a biological male identifying as a female, is considered a person of interest in the 2023 double homicide of his parents, Richard and Rita Zajko, shot dead in their Pennsylvania residence.
Zajko is considered “armed and dangerous,” and police reports indicate that Zajko openly promotes an “anti-law enforcement ideology.”
Reports suggest that Zajko, Youngblut, and Bauckholt are affiliated with a cult known as the “Zizians” or “Ziz,” which consists of individuals who identify as transgender vegan “rationalists,” according to their description.
Additionally, court documents reveal that Youngblut is also a suspect in the murder of Curtis Lind, an 82-year-old landlord in Vallejo, California.
Here’s where it starts to get intriguing.
Last year, Youngblut submitted a marriage application with 22-year-old Maximillian Snyder, who was taken into custody last week for the murder of Lind.
In 2023, Lind managed to survive an assault from three cult members who were illegally occupying his property.
He suffered multiple stab wounds, had a sword driven through his chest and right eye, leading to the eventual loss of his eye.
Despite being attacked, he shot two assailants, killing one in the process. Lind was set to testify against his attackers, Alexander “Somni” Leatham and Amir “Emma” Borhanian.
Legal documents emphasize that Lind was a crucial witness to the incident and was “intentionally killed to prevent his testimony in a criminal case.”
“It is tragic,” stated Paul Sequeira from the Solano County District Attorney’s Office. “It shakes the very foundation of the criminal justice system when a witness is murdered.”
Snyder has been denied bail and will appear in court on February 6th.
Leatham and Borhanian are scheduled for trial in April, but Lind is the only eyewitness.
The cult is reportedly led by Jack “Ziz” LaSota, who is also a biological male identifying as a trans female. Allegations suggest that LaSota encourages his followers to commit murder as a demonstration of their loyalty.
Arrest warrants have been issued for their capture in Pennsylvania.
