Transgender Cult Allegedly Linked to Multiple U.S. Murders, Including Border Patrol Agent Killing

Authorities are investigating the 'Zizians,' a radical group accused of orchestrating violent crimes and witness intimidation across the country.

Border Patrol Agent David Maland was fatally shot on January 20 during a traffic stop in Vermont, allegedly by Teresa 'Milo' Youngblut, a member of the 'Zizians' cult.
Youngblut's companion, Felix 'Ophelia' Bauckholt, was killed during the shootout, and their vehicle contained weapons and suspicious equipment, prompting further investigation.
The cult, led by Jack 'Ziz' LaSota, is accused of promoting violence among its followers, with LaSota reportedly faking his death in 2022 to evade law enforcement.
Elderly California landlord Curtis Lind, who survived a brutal 2022 attack by alleged cult members, was murdered earlier this month, reportedly to prevent his testimony against them.
Authorities have connected the cult to unsolved murders, including the deaths of Michelle Zajko's parents in 2023, with several suspects still at large.
