Two separate murders have been blamed on a pair of young computer science students who, in addition to being accused of having ties to the same bizarre Bay Area tech-cult, may also be married, according to recent reports.

New details regarding the fatal shooting of Minnesota-born U.S. Border Patrol agent David Maland have been revealed in court. The 44-year-old was fatally shot while conducting a traffic stop in Vermont on Jan. 20. He was from the Blue Earth area and graduated from Fairmont High School.

Federal prosecutors say a Washington state woman charged in connection with the fatal shooting of U.S. border patrol agent in Vermont had been in frequent contact with someone whom authorities have linked to homicides in Pennsylvania and California.

The California suspect was listed on a marriage application with a woman accused of killing a Border Patrol agent. They attended Seattle's Lakeside School.

Both suspects attended the prestigious Lakeside School in Seattle, studied computer science and appear to sympathize with a fringe Bay Area group described by one person as a “murder gang.”

Prosecutors say a Washington state woman charged in connection with the fatal shooting of a U.S. border patrol agent had been in frequent contact with someone whom authorities have linked to homicides in Pennsylvania.

Investigators are exploring whether two apparently unrelated murders could be linked, by way of an alleged cult made up of highly educated computer scientists with an interest in animal rights, Andrea
