So it turned out that Ziz had faked her death in that San Francisco Bay boating accident.

She got her sister and other Zizians to give statements that she was out on the boat and that she went overboard and that she was never seen again.

And the exact reason isn't super clear why she wanted to do that, but again, I think it was in an attempt to not only be as off the grid as possible, but also I think it's safe to assume that it had something to do with her facing those charges from the 2019 protest incident.

Because now the courts were opening back up, things were going, you know, she was going to have to be accountable for that.

And just in general, again, this whole Zizian group loved this whole idea of being off the grid.

And what's more off the grid than being dead, right?

And Ziz wasn't the only member of the group that had this whole, like, dead missing person thing going for her either.

It turns out Daniel Blank was also a reported missing person.

His last known contact with his family had been back in 2022 during a Thanksgiving visit to the Bay Area.

His parents said that he had been acting very strange, very secretive, and pretty withdrawn.

Seemingly out of nowhere, too, just kind of randomly one day.

He claimed that he had this job at an online startup in Ohio, but he wouldn't give them any details.

Said, you know, I signed an NDA, I can't share any more information.

And sure enough, that holiday ended up being the last time that they ever saw him.

Then, not long after allegedly taking this job in the Midwest, Daniel cut off all contact.

But not until after he sent a truly graphic video to his family about animals being slaughtered and about how eating meat is basically the equivalent of committing murder.

So again, very strict, very strong, very bold beliefs.
