A woman recruited to join the Ku Klux Klan was shot dead as she tried to leave the clan’s campsite. She asked to return to her town while the group was conducting an initiation ritual and the fight that broke out ended with the woman being fatally shot.
The woman, whose identity wasn’t revealed by Police, was from Oklahoma and was invited to a rural Louisiana campsite for a Ku Klux Klan initiation ritual. She was reportedly recruited over the Internet. Police arrested eight people in connection with the crime after investigators found the woman’s corpse hidden under some brush on the side of a road a couple of miles from the campsite.
Police investigators also found weapons, flags and six Klan robes at the campsite, according to St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Jack Strain.
The woman was supposed to join Ku Klux Klan by attending the initiation ceremony and then return to Oklahoma to find other people that would join the white supremacist group.
The woman was reportedly shot by the group’s leader, 44-year-old Raymond "Chuck" Foster. Mr. Foster was charged with second-degree murder and is now in police custody without bond.
