AMY CARLSON: MOTHER GOD

Quasi-religious group Love Has Won claimed to offer wellness advice and self-care products, but what was actually being dished out by their late leader Amy Carlson Stroud—self-professed “Mother God”—was much darker. How our current conspiritualist culture is to blame.

Close to midnight on the 28th, authorities raided Lamboy’s house. According to the sheriff’s office statement(opens in new tab), from the hallway between the kitchen and living room area, authorities could see the corpse in the back bedroom. There, police found a shrine and mummified remains. The small body was grayish, teeth visible, with what appeared to be glitter around the eye sockets, although the eyes seemed to be gone. Wrapped in a sleeping bag, the body was decorated with Christmas lights.
