CHESAPEAKE, Va., Dec. 4 -- Lee Boyd Malvo had a plan to save the world. And it was going to start after he and John Allen Muhammad collected a $10 million payment to stop last fall's sniper shootings, an investigator for Malvo's defense team testified Thursday.
The plan involved setting up a compound for 70 boys and 70 girls. "Seventy boys and 70 girls were going to be made into super-people," Carmeta V. Albarus, an investigator and social worker, said Malvo told her. "They were going to be trained and sent out to different parts of the world and bring about a just system."
Albarus testified Thursday that she pointed out "how ludicrous" the idea was. She said Malvo "felt very confident that this could be done, because we have to start with the children." The $10 million payment from the government "was to purchase land and equipment and whatever else he needed for this compound," Albarus said.
