Member of Zizians group linked to deaths in several states bailed out in Maryland

A member of a group known to outsiders as Zizians that is linked to six deaths was bailed out of jail in Maryland on Friday. Police in Maryland connected Jack “Ziz” LaSota, Michelle Zajko and Daniel Blank to homicide investigations in California, Pennsylvania and Vermont after a landowner found them living in box trucks at the end of a snow-covered dirt road last February, according to court documents and pretrial testimony. Blank was bailed out Friday at about noon after posting $15,000.
