Annie Elise

But while she was at university, she ended up switching majors after she had found this community of rationalist thinkers online.

So she ended up earning a master's degree in bioinformatics and eventually moved to California.

Sure enough, when she made that move, she got involved with the Zizian group.

And online, she defended their beliefs, and she spoke very highly of Ziz.

So going back to New Year's Eve, by New Year's Eve of 2022, Michelle hadn't seen her parents in almost a year.

And the truth was, she never would again.

Because around 11.30pm, a neighbor's ring camera caught a car pulling into Richard and Rita's driveway.

Then, a few minutes later, someone inside the house shouted, "'Mom!'

Then, "'Oh my God!

Oh God!

Oh God!'

And nine minutes after that, two people were seen leaving the house and driving away.

Now to this day, the identities of who went into that family's home that night, it still remains a mystery.

But two days later, on January 2nd, 2023, police entered the home and they discovered the bodies of Richard and Rita.

Rita had been shot once in the back of the head, and Richard had been shot in the temple.

Only two bullets were fired, but both of them were deceased.

Now, inside the house, the investigators found Michelle's ID, which they thought that that could be a crucial piece of evidence in this investigation.

They used it to start tracing her movements and her location, and they found her all the way up in Vermont.

Now, when they found her, Michelle was cooperative with the police, and she gave them a voluntary interview.

She claimed that she hadn't even been to Pennsylvania since before the pandemic, and that she hadn't seen her parents since early 2022.
