October 15 - Former soldier plead guilty in militia case
Today, Christopher Jenderseck pled guilty to helping cover up evidence of a murder in exchange for his testimony against his fellow F.E.A.R.- Forever Enduring, Always Ready- soldiers. F.E.A.R. is an anti-government terrorist group who operated around and inside Fort Stewart. Many of those arrested, including Jenderseck, were soldiers at this base.
F.E.A.R. began to ganner attention in December of last year when the bodies of Michael Roark, a recently discharged soldier, and his girlfriend, Tiffany York, were found. They had been shot in the head before being dumped in the woods. Four Fort Stewart soldiers were arrested for the homicide, and it was revealed that F.E.A.R. was an even bigger operation. F.E.A.R. aimed to plant bombs in public places and assassinate the president of the United States.
Jenderseck pled guilty to helping cover up the evidence, but said he initially was unaware of what they were burning. He said that when he did realize what they were burning, he did not stop the other soldiers from continuing to burn the evidence. His lawyers were adamant that while Jenderseck was a member of the group, he was not present at the deaths of Roark and York and was not even aware of the murders prior to the incident.
