DENVER (AP) Authorities have arrested several people after the mummified body of the leader of the spiritual group “Love Has Won” was found wrapped in a sleeping bag and decorated with Christmas lights in a southern Colorado home.
Amy Carlson, 45, who was known as “Mother God” by her followers, was found dead in a home in the tiny, rural town of Moffat on Wednesday, April 28, according to arrest affidavits for seven people, who are each charged with abuse of a corpse.
A follower told investigators he knew the woman as Lia Carlson, and a Saguache County sheriff s corporal wrote in the affidavits that Carlson is believed to be the leader of the group. It s unclear why the follower provided the name Lia.
