Officials arrested Gerald Krien who organized the suicide pact via an internet chat room. A mother with two small children was among those who agreed to take part in the pact. She also planned to kill her kids. A person from Canada believed to have been inside the group agreeing to the mass suicide contacted authorities. Law enforcement seized Krien's computer. Krien planned to arrange the suicides over the internet possibly through the use of web cams.
