DENVER, Colo. - A mummified corpse that appears to be a controversial religious leader of “Love Has Won” was found inside a rural Colorado home, according to the Saguache County Sheriff s Office.
The religious leader recently lived in Mount Shasta and the body was in a sleeping bag decorated with Christmas lights and makeup, with a missing eye.
The weeks-old mummified remains of a woman discovered in a Saguache County home April 28 near Crestone led to the arrests of seven adults recently.
Two children, a 13-year-old girl and a 2-year-old boy also found at the scene, were placed under the protection of Saguache County Social Services.
The reporting party, Miguel Lamboy, 42, identified the body as that of âLiaâ Carlson. A woman of that name is also known as Amy Carlson by Saguache County Sheriffâs Office. Formal identification of the woman is still pending, Saguache County Coroner Tom Perrin said Tuesday.
Salida Police Department Sgt. Corey Orth said Lamboy told him after spending April 27, driving around the state, he returned home to discover five people needing a place to stay.
