Three members of the Zizians cult, arrested in Allegany County in February, have now been awarded a joint trial. The three, Jack “Ziz” LaSota, Michelle Zajko and Daniel Blank face numerous charges locally and are also part of a federal investigation involving the murder of a border patrol agent. A trial date has not been set, but is expected to last at least two weeks. The Zizian group has been linked to five other killings in three states in recent years.
