The white van in Thursday’s shootout was registered to a New Vienna, Ohio, organization called House of God’s Prayer. Potok said a former FBI informant says the building where the church was housed also once served as the headquarters for the Aryan Nations, a white supremacist group. “That was an incredibly violent bunch of people up there,” Potok said.
Public records shows the van could be linked to a white supremacist group that was once here in Ohio. New Vienna, Ohio was the home of the Jesus Christ Christian Church, led by a self proclaimed white supremacist, the Aryan Nation Church and its leader Ray Redfeairn , who made headlines 13 years ago.
The van involved in Thursday’s shooting in West Memphis, AR, was registered to the House of God’s Prayer, from 143 West Main Street in New Vienna. Clinton County, OH records show the New Vienna property is owned by The Universal Life Of The Good Shepherd Church. It has an address 50 miles away in Middletown, OH.
Butler County records show the Middletown property is owned by Hoge and Mary Tabor. A man named Hoge Tabor is prominently mentioned in a book about the Aryan Nation in Ohio.
