QAnon Believer Teamed Up With Conspiracy Theorists to Plot Kidnapping, Police Say
GROUPTHINK
Conspiracy theorist Cynthia Abcug allegedly predicted that Satan worshipers would be killed in a raid by QAnon believers.

Colorado mother Cynthia Abcug became an unlikely star on the fringe right last year thanks to a battle with her states child-welfare department over custody of her son, which became a cause célèbre among believers of the bizarre pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theory.
But a recently unsealed arrest warrant alleges that Abcug had bigger plans, working with other armed QAnon believers to plan a kidnapping.
Montana police arrested Abcug in Kalispell, Montana, on Dec. 30, on a felony conspiracy to commit kidnapping arrest warrant issued in Colorado. Abcug had allegedly teamed up with other QAnon believers to carry out the kidnapping, according to witness statements to police.
The alleged target of the purported kidnapping is redacted in court documents, but the individual is described as once having been in Abcugs care. The 50-year-olds son was taken from her by Colorado child-welfare officials in the spring of 2019.

of conspiracy related sites, other than Daily Beast. I was curious as to what happened with her son with Colorado DFS and could find nothing. Not even a Denver Post piece. I assume that was because of privacy issues, but damn. No wonder this conspiracy crap spreads like wildfire.
