What Was Sara Weaver's Life Like After The Ruby Ridge Standoff?

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Sara Weaver had always been a religious person, raised in her parents' faith that compelled them to withdraw from the modern world in the first place. However, prior to 2003, Sara's version of Christianity had been one in which an angry and vengeful god demands obedience at all costs; "I had a fear-based relationship with God," she said, via NBC News. But in 2003, a friend of hers introduced her God in a different way: the loving and forgiving version. "I decided I was broken and needed to be fixed," she said, adding that, though she's not interested in meeting them, she has forgiven the federal agents responsible for her mother's and brother's deaths.

Sara has written two books. The first, published with her father in 1998, is entitled "The Federal Siege at Ruby Ridge," and the second, "From Ruby Ridge to Freedom: The Sara Weaver Story," published in 2012. The latter book focuses not on the events of the siege but her personal journey since then.

As of 2012, Sara had been divorced and then remarried and was operating a horse-breeding farm in Montana along with her second husband. In May 2022, as the Southern Poverty Law Center reported, Sara announced via her own social media channels that her father, the man at the center of it all, had died.
