Minuteman Child Killer Shawna Forde’s “plan” confirms ties to mainstream hate groups
While I’ve been on sabbatical in the wilds of Wisconsin this week, the Everett Herald reveals that jailed Minuteman child killer Shawna Forde, had a “plan” or list of contacts to be notified should she disappear.
Names on the list include
- Jim Gilchrist of the Minuteman Project and close supporter of Forde
- Jason Eugene “Gunny” Bush, one of the shooters and Forde’s director of operations
- Chuck Stonex, associate and confidant of Forde who is backpedaling and deep in denial trying to keep from being charged in the murders
- Gary Stevenson of Bandon, Ore, who was supposed to form a “coastal defense group” under Forde’s direction
- Jim Carter, of Tennessee, who claims to be a State Director of a Minuteman group in Tennessee
- Mike Christie of Arizona. who worked for American Border Patrol in Sierra Vista, Ariz. (Glenn Spencer’s group)
My good friend and colleague at Immigration Talk with a Mexican American also came across some interesting revelations!
While viewing the tape of Forde’s interview with a Norwegian news crew last year, a name kept popping up. Along with Forde and Chuck Stonex, a person named Todd Hezlitt, was seen.
Dee did a little digging and you’ll be amazed at what she found
Todd Hezlitt, a member of Forde’s vigilante minuteman group is/was a PIMA COUNTY SHERIFF’s DEPUTY and JUDGE ADVOCATE of a Tucson VFW post.
PIMA COUNTY RELEASES 200 PAGE REPORT
Pima County Sheriff released a 200 page report to the Green Valley News who released some of it to other media outlets.
Here, you can download the documents and read them for yourselves. They don’t reveal anything much more than what is reported here.
- First Responder Statement
- Surviving Victims Statement
- Arrests of Forde and Gaxiola
- Gaxiola Interview
Arraignment is Monday June 29
Forde, Gaxiola and Bush are scheduled for arraignment in Pima County Superior Court Monday. We should have more information and new photos to share for you then.
One thing is for certain though. The first responders and everyone involved in investigating this case are taking this personally. Something I am happy to see as it should prevent these scum from walking.

ALIPAC Issues Advisory on Glenn Spencer and American Patrol
July 2, 2009
We regret to inform everyone that the home offices of Glenn Spencer of American Patrol have been raided by a swat team with a search warrant due to his involvement with Shawna Forde. ALIPAC issued several national advisories about Shawna Forde earlier this year, when it became clear she was a risk to our movement, dishonest, and potentially violent.
All known groups and leaders in the immigration enforcement movement heeded our advice earlier this year and did not post or distribute Shawna Forde’s bogus rape, assault story and photos, which were clearly an attempt to deflect suspicion away from herself and her involvement in the attempted murder of her husband.
There were a few exceptions. Jim Gilchrist and Steve Eichler of Minuteman Project, Chuck Stonex of New Mexico, and Glenn Spencer and an employee known as “Melissa” of American Patrol who continued to aid, support, defend, or encourage Shawna Forde after our advisory, as well as, before and after the murders.
Background Article (Arizona Star)
Gilchrist and Spencer’s Support for Accused Murderer Harms Minuteman Movement
http://www.alipac.us/article-4340-thread-1-0.html
According to news articles, Shawna Forde knew police were after her because Jim Gilchrist had tipped her off by calling her and forwarding her an e-mail he received saying police were looking for her. She stopped at Glenn Spencer’s American Patrol compound and was given access and told directly by Spencer that she could use his base to answer e-mails on her computer.
When she left Glenn Spencer’s, the FBI arrested her and raided Glenn’s house!
Glenn has issued a statement denying that he knew Shawna was on the run and claiming that he had instructed his limited staff that Shawna Forde was not allowed on his property anymore, although she used to stay there often.
This claim is contradicted by the fact that Glenn Spencer’s employee, Melissa has been posting in support of both Shawna Forde and her earlier fake rape, assault story and photos since January of 2009! Melissa clearly identified herself as an American Patrol employee.
Further suspicion is cast upon American Patrol by the fact that Shawna Forde’s right hand man (Chuck Stonex) of her small organization Minuteman American Defense (MAD), traveled into Arizona the day of the home invasion and murders allegedly conducted by Shawna Forde and her henchmen. The June 28, Arizona Star article provided here indicates hat Stonex was on his way to a BBQ and Glenn Spencer’s American Patrol compound.
Newspaper reports and Glenn Spencer have confirmed to ALIPAC by e-mail that Chuck Stonex was at Glenn Spencer’s American Patrol compound for BBQ around the time Shawna Forde called on Stonex treat a gunshot wound on Jason Bush. Bush is the white supremacist who is accused of being Shawna Forde’s co-conspirator and the one who pulled the trigger which killed the father and the little nine year old girl. Reports indicate that the little girl was killed by three 45 rounds fired close range into her head.
So, while Glenn Spencer claims he told staffers to keep Shawna Forde away from his property, Shawna’s executive officer and very visible defender, Chuck Stonex was welcome at American Patrol;s base the day of the murders and was in phone contact with Glenn Spencer about these matters. So it is clear that Forde knew Stonex was nearby that day. It is also clear that Chuck Stonex did not call the police to report the gun shot wound he treated although he claims that Forde and Bush told him a drug smuggler shot Jason Bush while he and Forde patrolled the dessert for illegals.
Glenn Spencer recently indicated to ALIPAC by e-mail the following claims regarding Chuck Stonex’s presence on his property and use of Spencer’s property as a staging area to provide assistance to Shawna Forde and her henchmen the morning of the murders.
Glenn Spencer wrote to ALIPAC 6/29/2009 9:51 PM “Stonex called me about the wound. I told him if it was a gunshot he should notify the police. He called back and said it wasn’t a person who was wounded, it was an animal.”
While Spencer denies knowing what Chuck Stonex (Forde’s Executive Officer of her group MAD) was up to, he admits that Stonex came to Glenn Spencer’s American Patrol HQ from another state on the day of the murders, was treated to BBQ, and that he was in phone contact with Stonex. Furthermore, we find the admission that Spencer was in phone contact with Stonex around the time of the murders to be highly suspicious and indicates that Glenn Spencer also knew that someone had been shot and that Stonex was going to treat a wound!
Who knows what and who should be charged are up to the police. The police have indicated that they expect to make further arrests in this case.
ALIPAC does our very best to advise supporters which groups show problems or do not meet our standard of quality.
Therefore, we are adding Glenn Spencer and American Patrol to our short list of groups that we advise people not to support. Jim Gilchrist and Steve Eichler of Minuteman Project and Faxdc dot com have been on the advisory list for over a year now as well.
For our struggle for secure borders and against illegal immigration to succeed, we all need to work together to exclude any leader or organization that fails to take proper steps to assure that the people around their organizations do not represent a threat to lives, property, or the credibility of these important issues.
The Shawna Forde story is causing great harm to our issue and movement. Much of the damage to our movement is being facilitated by the fact that American Patrol and MMP assisted Shawna Forde immediately before and after the alleged home invasion and murders.
It is our strong opinion that all ties, links, or support for MMP and American Patrol should end now that both groups are in the national media for their support of Shawna Forde.
ALIPAC intends to turn over our e-mails and archived information regarding these matters to the police in case anything we have collected can be of assistance to their efforts.
We know that many of you will be disappointed by this news, but at ALIPAC we feel the best policy is to fully advise our supporters as accurately as possible so that you can make good decisions about how you focus your volunteer time and funds.
While Glenn Spencer and American Patrol may have done good things in the past, but both Gilchrist and Spencer have been highly negligent in who they have associated themselves and their organizations with by supporting and assisting Shawna Forde long after it was clear to many others that she should be cast out of our movement. Both of these men received numerous warnings from other groups and leaders but failed to act accordingly.

Both Glenn Spencer of American Patrol and Jim Gilchrist of Minuteman Project assisted accused murderer Shawna Forde before and after the alleged crimes despite numerous warnings from other groups and leaders and evidence that Forde was unstable and potentially violent.
