The 43 year old Forde was the founder and leader of the Minutemen American Defense group that on May 30, 2009, along with her co defendants Albert Robert Gaxiola and Jason Eugene Bush claimed they were police officers looking for fugitives in the process of executing a home invasion.   

Flores and his daugher were killed, while Gonzalez was wounded, survived and later called 911.   Forde's co defendants are currently awaiting trial.

One down, two to go.
