The obvious leader of the Zizian was arrested together with another member of the radical online group in Maryland, said Maryland State Police on Monday.
The 34 -year -old Jack Lasota was from Michelle Zajko, 33, from the media, Pennsylvania on Sunday
A deposit negotiation for the two is planned on Tuesday from 11 a.m. ET at the Allegany District Court.
The Zizian, which were called cult, were bound on January 20 with the murder of the US border patrol agent David Maland near the Canadian border, and five other murders in Vermont, Pennsylvania and California.
The 44 -year -old Maland was killed at the shootout after a traffic stop in Coventry, Vt., A small town, about 32 kilometers from the border.
Officials offered only a few details of the cross -country skiing examination that were opened after Maland’s death. Interviews of the Associated Press and a review of court files and online postings tell the story of how a group of young, highly intelligent computer scientists, who met most in the 20s and 30s online, shared anarchist beliefs and have increasingly become violent.
Your goals are not clear, but online writings include topics from radical veganism and gender identity to artificial intelligence (AI).
Lasota detailed theories in the blog
In the middle is Ziz, who seems to be the leader of group members who call themselves Zizian. She was seen near several crime scenes and has connections to various suspects.
Lasota published a dark and sometimes violent blog under the name Ziz and described her theory in a section that the two hemispheres of the brain keep separate values and genders and “often want to kill each other”.
Lasota, which she/her pronoun used, and in her writings says she is a transgender woman who scolded perceived enemies, including “rationalist” groups who mostly want to work online and to understand human cognition through reason and knowledge. Some deal with the potential dangers of AI.
The 34 -year -old Lasota has not answered several e -e -mails from Associated Press in the past few weeks, and her lawyer Daniel Mcgarrigle rejected a statement when she was asked whether Lasota was connected to one of the deaths. Before her arrest at the weekend, she missed court appearances in two states, and arrest warrants for bank arrest were issued for her arrest.
Mcgarrigle reached on Monday and only confirmed that he represented Lasota, but would not confirm her arrest or details of the last case.
