Biography
Katherine Christianson pleaded guilty to willful injury to government property for her role in the July 20, 2000 Earth Liberation Front attack on U.S. Forest Service research property near Rhinelander, Wisconsin. The DOJ's 2008 annual report documents her arrest in July 2008, and its sentencing announcement records a February 19, 2009 sentence of two years in federal prison. The BOP locator records departure from federal custody on December 14, 2010. Exact arrest day and prison-admission date remain unresolved.
Chronology verified October 12, 2026: Page II-5 (PDF page 3) of the original DOJ 2008 performance report was downloaded, rendered and visually checked: it reports July 2008 arrests and a July 20, 2000 offense. The original DOJ sentencing announcement preserved by the FBI confirms Christianson's February 19, 2009 sentence and December 4, 2008 plea. The fresh official BOP lookup returns Katherine Christianson, register 40794-051, age 45, not in BOP custody as of December 14, 2010. The erroneous 2009 arrest/admission, 2009 offense characterization and derived 515-day total were corrected or cleared. No precise arrest day or prison admission was inferred from sentencing or a month placeholder. An identifiable photograph remains unresolved.
