Summary
Pennsylvania authorities have charged Michelle Zajko, 33, with arranging the 2022 murder of her parents, Richard and Rita Zajko, in the upscale suburb of Chester Heights. The case is notable because Zajko has ties to the "Zizians," a cultlike group of highly educated, AI-obsessed vegans linked to multiple violent deaths across the United States. The charges represent a major break in one of Pennsylvania's most prominent cold cases after more than three years.
