Summary

On April 28, 2021, police entered a home in Moffatt, Colorado. Their visit was caught on body cam – they can be seen entering a home filled with adults and children. They made their way into a bedroom where they came across the unimaginable – a mummified body wrapped in a sleeping bag and enshrined in fairy lights. This is the story of Amy Carlson and the Love Has Won cult.

In 2007, Amy left her husband, three children and job at McDonald’s and ran away to start a new life with a man she had met on an internet forum. The group was known as the "Galactic Federation of Light". Amy was the head of the group and she was known as ‘Mother God’.

The group evolved over the years, and it eventually became known as ‘Love Has Won’. Amy began taking on the negative energy of the world (apparently) and she became weaker and sicker as the years went on. She told followers she had ‘stage five’ cancer and she began ingesting colloidal silver to treat her ailments. Her skin would turn a grey colour.

After alarming photos of Amy were posted online, her family requested multiple welfare checks and were always turned away by Love Has Won members. When police finally obtained access on April 28, Amy’s remains were discovered. According to cult members, Amy is still part of the group, just from the 5th Dimension.

Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast where we discuss Amy Carlson and the Love Has Won cult.

0:23.6	What's up guys? Welcome to another episode of the True Crime Society podcast with Stephanie and Olivia.
0:28.7	It's March 24th right now, Thursday as usual. We just put out our Kyron episode,
0:35.8	which I hope everyone found very interesting if you had heard the case before and if you hadn't
0:42.6	heard the case before. I keep on saying I hope you enjoyed it, but like that's not the right word.
0:47.8	So I hope that you found it interesting. I feel like with those older cases it's hard to know
0:54.3	if that's what people want to hear about, but the Kyron one seems to have been really grabbing
0:59.0	people's attention. I guess because after 12 years it really is a true mystery. It hasn't been solved.
1:06.4	There's nothing really happening that we know of, so maybe that's part of the reason why people
1:11.0	are so fascinated and into his case. Since even it's only been out for probably a few hours now
1:18.4	and I've already seen some really interesting comments, one thing that we didn't touch on
1:22.5	in the episode was that Desiree has actually written a book, so if anyone really is into that,
1:28.4	they might want to go and check it out and in that book she talks about how she thinks Terry's
1:32.0	the main suspect. So the book that Desiree wrote is God love you forever, the search for Kyron
1:36.4	Horman. She worked with an author to write it and I've seen a lot of people commenting about it
1:40.9	saying that it's got a lot of information that kind of hasn't really been made public,
1:45.2	so I'm going to check it out and it might be something that you guys are interested in too if you've
1:48.5	been following his case. Maybe I'll check it out. I was going to say something, oh,
1:53.9	and a few of you already messaged and said that you were very proud of my pronunciation of
1:59.8	some of the very complicated words, so thank you. Thank you for the compliments.
2:06.4	Not much else to chat about. We were just trying to think of if we had anything to talk about
