.. Joseph Charles Henrichsen, 49, and his son, Phoenix Henrichsen, 23, of Siskiyou County, Calif., were charged July 20 with kidnapping federal employees, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California. Both were detained in Sacramento, where they did not enter pleas. The two federal employees are females.
The employees were conducting a frog-habitat survey near Gumboot Lake Campground in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest on July 16, when Joseph Henrichsen allegedly approached them carrying an AR-15-style rifle, according to the criminal complaint. He zip-tied their wrists behind their backs and led them to a nearby trailer. ..
.. The FBI led the investigation with help from the Forest Service, Homeland Security Investigations, the Bureau of Land Management, the Siskiyou and Shasta county sheriff's offices, the Mt. Shasta Police Department, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the California Highway Patrol. Investigators have not established a motive, and LaRue said the men were not known to law enforcement before the standoff.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles Campbell is prosecuting the case. If convicted, Joseph and Phoenix Henrichsen each face a maximum of life in prison and a $250,000 fine. A preliminary hearing is set for Aug. 3.
Maybe a dozen msm reports chose completely ambiguous language: (which has become an open clue they’re hiding reality)
