MOST WANTED: Josephine Sunshine Overaker on Eco-Terrorism Charges

Aug. 13, 2008

Under the cover of darkness on an October evening in 1996, Josephine Sunshine Overaker began her life as an eco-terrorist, officials said.

The long-haired, vegan activist, sporting a slight moustache, worked at times as a midwife, sheep tender and firefighter, but this night she ignited her own dangerous blaze, officials said.

Along with several other environmental extremists, Overaker slipped into the Willamette National Forest and struck the U.S. Forest Service's station in Detroit, Ore., officials said.

Clad in black, they allegedly left graffiti and burned several Forest Service vehicles before disappearing into the night. Overaker and her cohorts broke the law for a branch of the Earth Liberation Front that called itself "the Family," investigators said.

“Overaker is 5-foot-3, 130 pounds with brown hair and eyes. She has several distinctive tattoos, including a large bird across her back. Her aliases included Lisa Rachelle Quintana, Maria Rachelle Quintana, “Osha,” “Jo,” “China,” “Josie” and “Mo.”

She faces numerous charges related to the arsons. If convicted, she could face life in prison.

Anyone with information as to her whereabouts should contact the FBI at 202-324-3000.”

Could somebody photoshop a brown paper bag over that thing? Please?

No, she undoubtedly won't get life but she'll get a substantial sentence. All members of the family have made plea bargains for lighter sentences but Briana Waters and her participation was on a small scale compared to Overaker. She'll do at least 20 years and probably more.

Twelve members of The Family previously sentenced.
