Biography
Teri Volpin was one of the Tucson Five, witnesses jailed for refusing federal grand-jury questions during an investigation focused on John Fuerst and alleged dynamite purchases. Torres Maldonado’s source-cited thesis identifies all five and reports imprisonment from November 1970 until March 31, 1971. The initial November day is unknown; later testimony after threatened renewed subpoenas is distinct from the completed confinement. The thesis labels the group Weatherman associates, but formal individual organizational membership is not independently established here.
