"It's a brand-new team. They've been bled in." - Minuteman child killer Shawna Forde discussing Arivaca murders with FBI informants
Documents and audio tapes released in Pima County Superior Court this month, tie Minuteman Shawna Forde and Jason “Gunny” Bush to the murders of 9 year old Brisenia Flores and her father Raul on May 30, 2009.
Two confidential informants for the FBI say they told agents in April 2009 that Forde was recruiting people to raid a house she believed was filled with illicit drugs, money and guns. The informants were Colorado Minutemen as has been reported here and by reporter Scott North of the Everett Herald. The documents indicate neither was paid for his information, nor were they cooperating to avoid prosecution in any unrelated cases.
The documents say Forde, 42, and others were on the verge of hitting additional targets when she, Jason Bush, 35, and Albert Gaxiola, 43, were arrested on June 12, 2009.
