The alleged cult leader, Jack 'Ziz' LaSota, faked her death before her followers were involved in violent incidents linked to multiple killings. Initially thought to have drowned in San Francisco Bay, Ziz was believed dead until she reappeared during an arrest related to a stabbing incident. The violence escalated with the murders of individuals connected to her group, raising questions about the influence of cult ideologies like Roko's Basilisk on her followers. Her ability to disappear and re-emerge has prompted speculation about the legal and social ramifications involved in cult activities.
A few months after that purported boating accident, Ziz seemingly sprang back to life when she was arrested at the scene of a different disaster: the sword stabbing of then-80-year-old Curtis Lind, a man who owned the property where some of her friends were living.
LaSota's 'body' was never found. Though the nature of her alleged death-faking scheme is unclear, Ziz was nevertheless considered dead by her family, who published an obituary for her.
