She Was Found Mummified, Missing Her Eyes, With Glitter On Her Face And Now Her Cult Followers Have Been Arrested
45-year-old Amy Carlson lived in the Crestone, Colorado area, along with her followers. She was known as “Mother God,” and she was the leader of a group called Love Has Won.
Although their name sounds innocent enough, Amy’s own family members and law enforcement call the group a cult (meanwhile, Amy and her followers have insisted all along that they’re just focused on spirituality).
There is even an organization called Love Has Won Exposed that is dedicated to bringing to light what Love Has Won is actually up to.
“We report news about the Love Has Won cult to expose their ugly truth,” Love Has Won Exposed explains on their Facebook page.
“We show their shady activity & hypocrisy so potential members can see it before they join. And, we keep loved ones of followers at “mission” up to date about the group’s activities.”
For a while now, Amy’s followers have been taking to social media to mention that she has not been doing well.
In an April 16th video shared by Love Has Won Exposed, Amy’s followers discussed that she’s extremely close to dying. Allegedly, she had been consuming colloidal silver.
People in the comment section expressed concern for Amy’s well-being, and many ended up calling authorities to do a welfare check, but reportedly, there wasn’t enough information warranting one.
On April 28th, a man walked into the Saguache County Sheriff’s Office to say that Amy was actually dead.

This man, named Miguel Lamboy, explained to authorities that he had several people staying with him at his house (all members of Love Has Won).
On the morning of April 28th, Miguel got up, ran errands, and then came home. When he did, he found Amy dead inside his house, and he apparently had no idea she was going to be a guest in his home as well.
“Mr. Lamboy stated that Ms. Carlson’s skin appeared to be grey in color and her eyes were glazed over or missing,” a probable cause statement obtained by Chip Chick reads.
“Mr. Lamboy stated that it was obvious that Ms. Carlson was dead because her eyes were missing. Mr. Lamboy stated that the body appeared to be mummified, with Ms. Carlson’s teeth exposed through the lips. Mr. Lamboy stated that Ms. Carlson was wrapped in a cloth.”
The probable cause statement goes on to say that Amy’s body was lying on a bed when authorities found her, and she had been wrapped in Christmas lights.
She also had glitter makeup on her face and had been arranged in some sort of shrine.
Ryan Kramer, Christopher Royer, Sarah Rudolph, Karin Raymond, Jason Castillo, John Robertson, and Obdulia Franco were all arrested and charged with abuse of a corpse and 2 counts of child abuse.
“For those of you that knew my sister, Amy, I wanted to let you know we found out yesterday of her passing,” Chelsea Ann Reninger, Amy’s sister, confirmed on Facebook.
“Please pray for us and the people involved in this awful situation. We are choosing to remember who she was when she was in our lives on a regular basis and not who she became from this manipulating cult!”
After Amy’s passing, Love Has Won took down their website and social media profiles. Perhaps this really is the end of the cult.
