The daughter of a Pennsylvania couple whose deaths are among six connected to a cultlike group says she has been falsely accused of killing her parents. Michelle Zajko’s denial was part of a 20-page handwritten “Open Letter to the World” her attorney provided to The Associated Press on Tuesday. Dated March 9, the letter also attempts to defend Jack LaSota, also known as Ziz, whom authorities have described as the apparent leader of an “extremist group” called the Zizians. Zajko and LaSota were arrested in Maryland in February and charged with trespassing and illegal gun possession. No one has been charged in the deaths of Zajko's parents in late 2022.
