The apparent leader of the cult group known as Zizianci was arrested in Maryland, together with another member of the Group, State Police Maryland said.
Jack Lasota, 34, was arrested on Sunday along with Michelle Zajko, 33, Media, Pennsylvania. They face multiple accusations, including a misdemeanor, obstruction and hindrance and possession of a gun in the vehicle, said the police on Monday.
Hearing in bail for two is scheduled for 11 hours on Tuesday at the Allegeny Court.
Zizijci are tied to the murder of the American Border Patrol David Maland near the Canadian border in January and five more murders in Vermont, Pennsylvania and California.
Maland, 44, was killed in the shooting for 20. January after the traffic cessation in Coventry, Vermont, a small town at about 20 miles (32km) from the Canadian border.
Officials offered several details on the cross-border country investigation, which opened after the death of Maland. The associated interviews for the press and an overview of court records and online announcements talk about how a group of young people, very intelligent computer scientists, most of them in the 20s and 30s, divided the anarchist beliefs and became more violent.
Their goals are not clear, but the internet file system of radical veganism and gender identity to artificial intelligence.
In the middle of everything is “Ziz”, which seems to be a leader of strange members of the group who called “Zizians”. It is seen near the scene of more crimes and has to do with different suspects.
Lasota published a dark and sometimes violent blog called Ziz and, in one section, it described her theory that two cerebral hemispheres could maintain separate values and gender and “often desire to kill.”
Lasota, who used, in her writings, says the transgender woman, wiped against perceived enemies, including the so-called rationalist groups, who behave mainly online and try to understand human knowledge through reason and knowledge. Some people deal with potential hazards of artificial intelligence.
Lasota, 34, did not answer multiple-related emails for journalists in recent weeks, and her lawyer Daniel McGarrigle refused to comment on when asked whether he was associated with any deaths. Prior to the arrest for the weekend, there was a court performances in two states, and for her arrest issued orders for benches.
Reached on Monday, McGarrigle would only confirm that he represented Lasota and would not confirm her arrest or any details on the latest case.
