Gordon Winrod, 85, was sentenced to 30 years in prison after kidnapping six of his grandchildren
from North Dakota and brainwashing them on his farm in Ozark County.
The six children would even take turns guarding the large compound with
loaded guns.
Winrod sent letters to
residents in the Ozarks with anti-Semitic messages such as "Jews are
the Satanists, who lust to murder", the Springfield post office
received over 400 complaints at the time.
Winrod
was arrested in 2000 after his farm was raided. Once he was in jail,
authorities had to take him out and bring him to the farm to get the six
kids to come out of the compound, because without him there, they would
not leave.
He was released from jail in May 2012 after serving just over 10 years in federal prison.
According to KFGO in Fargo, N.D., Shannon
Maresh is fearful that her grandfather will restart his cult at an old
High School in Kulm, N.D. and brainwash others much like her brothers
and sisters were in the 1990s.
