Cults | Love Has Won

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.
