N.D. (KFGO) – The daughter and son-in-law of Gordon Winrod, a Missouri cult leader who kidnapped five grandchildren from their home near Edgeley, ND has purchased a former school in Kulm, ND.

That’s according to Shannon Maresh, whose three brothers and two sisters were kidnapped and brainwashed by Winrod in the 1990’s. Maresh tells KFGO news that she fears her grandfather is preparing to re-establish his cult in the old Kulm high school.

Maresh says the former school is owned by her aunt, Laura Leppert and Leppert’s husband, Samuel, who are still affiliated with Winrod’s cult. Winrod was released from a Missouri prison in 2012, after serving about 10 years of a 30-year sentence.
