Jack ‘Ziz’ LaSota, the leader of the ominous Bay Area vegan trans ‘death cult’ known as the ‘Zizans,’ was arrested after months on the run.
LaSota, 33, who uses she/her pronouns, was taken into custody on Sunday evening in Allegany County, Maryland.
She has been arrested for trespassing on private property, obstructing a law enforcement officer, and possessing a handgun in her vehicle, according to jail records reviewed by DailyMail.com.
Michelle Zajko, a 32-year-old cult member, was also taken into custody for trespassing, obstructing law enforcement, resisting arrest, and carrying a handgun, as indicated in records.
Additionally, Daniel Blank, 26, another cult member, was arrested for trespassing on private property and obstructing law enforcement, as per records.
The three have been on the run since 2023 after they were found by officers in Chester City, Pennsylvania conducting a search warrant after Zajko’s parents, Rita and Richard Zajko, were found shot to death in their home on January 2 of that year, SF Gate reported.
About a week after their deaths, LaSota, Zajko and Blank were each found in separate rooms of a hotel.
LaSota was charged with obstruction of justice and disorderly conduct and was eventually released on bail after five months behind bars. Zajko and Blank were not charged, and since LaSota’s release, the three disappeared.
