Supremacist Preacher Is Found Guilty Of Kidnapping Grandchildren

St. Louis Post-Dispatch/February 1, 2001

Jurors need just over an hour Wednesday to both have lunch and and find outspoken anti-Jewish minister Gordon Winrod guilt of abducting six of his grandchildren.

Winrod 74, a zealot linked to the Christian Identity movement, kept some of them at his remote farm in the Ozarks for more than five years.

Jurors recommended the maximum penalty of five years in prison on each of six counts of child abduction.
