Tucson Escorts: Cold-Blooded Streak
Investigators in Washington and Arizona probing the Shawna Forde Minutemen murders (see “Lethally Blonde,” SW, July 15, 2009) now appear to have uncovered a serial-killer’s trail of bodies leading from Chelan County to the Mexican border. Court documents show that Jason “Gunny” Bush, Forde’s alleged partner in a West Coast robbery and homicide spree, is suspected of five likely race-related murders and an attempted murder.
Forde, of Everett, and Bush, of Wenatchee, are currently in an Arizona jail with a third member of her rebel Minutemen band, charged with the first-degree murders of a Mexican man and his daughter and the attempted murder of the man’s wife May 30 in Arivaca, Ariz. A onetime Everett City Council candidate, beauty-school protest leader, and Seattle prostitute, Forde is accused of masterminding the slayings to finance her border-watch group and grow it into a Blackwater-like organization, running mercenary missions south of the border.
