A California man accused of killing 19-year-old Blaze Bernstein and burying him in a shallow grave is allegedly a self-proclaimed neo-Nazi with ties to an armed fascist group, according to a report. Bernstein was home on winter break from the University of Pennsylvania when his parents reported him missing. According to three sources that spoke to ProPublica, Woodward was an active member of the extremist group Atomwaffen Division and referred to himself as a Nazi on social media posts and chats. The former member told ProPublica that Woodward, who joined in 2016, took part in a training camp where he was taught how to use firearms and trained in hand-to-hand combat. Woodward told investigators that Bernstein – who was Jewish and openly gay – kissed him on the lips.
