Timeline

1948

Randall Claude Weaver (January 3, 1948 – May 11, 2022) was an American survivalist and self-proclaimed white separatist.

Randy Weaver was born on January 3, 1948, to Clarence and Wilma Weaver, a farming couple in Villisca, Iowa.

He was one of four children.

The Weavers were deeply religious and had difficulty finding a denomination that matched their views; they often moved around among Evangelical, Presbyterian, and Baptist churches.

1966

After graduating from Jefferson High School in 1966, he attended Iowa Central Community College for two years.

1968

In 1968, he dropped out to enlist in the United States Army during the height of the Vietnam War.

He was stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.

While Weaver had told other people that he had been a Green Beret in the Army, his discharge papers showed that he had never been a member of the Green Berets or Special Forces, but may have received some general demolitions training as a combat engineer.

1970

In 1970, during a visit to his hometown while on leave, Weaver met his future wife Victoria "Vicki" Jordison.

He introduced himself as "Pete", rather than his "hated" given name Randall.

1971

He was discharged at the rank of sergeant on October 8, 1971, and married Vicki the following month.

A month after leaving the Army, Randy Weaver and Vicki Jordison married in a ceremony at the First Congregationalist Church in Fort Dodge, Iowa, in November 1971.

After a semester at the University of Northern Iowa, Randy dropped out after finding well-paying work at a local John Deere factory.

Vicki worked first as a secretary and then as a homemaker.

1978

Partially as a result of reading the 1978 book The Late Great Planet Earth, the couple began to harbor more Christian fundamentalist beliefs, with Vicki believing that the apocalypse was imminent.

1983

To follow Vicki's vision of her family surviving the apocalypse away from what they saw as a corrupt civilization, the Weaver family moved to a 20 acre property in remote Boundary County, Idaho, in 1983 and built a cabin there.

They paid $5,000 in cash ($0 in ) and traded their moving truck for the land, valued at $500 an acre.

1988

In 1988, Weaver decided to run for county sheriff by using the slogan "Get out of jail – free" and he was adamant about his decision not to pay taxes.

While the Weavers subscribed to ideas that broadly fell under the category of Christian Identity, their beliefs were still different.

Like many in that movement, Vicki Weaver developed a set of beliefs which were based on her adherence to Old Covenant Laws, and her family referred to God as Yahweh (see Sacred Name Movement).

They also believed themselves to be Israelites.

1989

In 1989, Weaver met Kenneth Fadeley at a meeting of the white supremacist group Aryan Nations.

Fadeley was actually an undercover ATF agent investigating the Aryan Nation complex under the alias "Gus Magisano".

Weaver agreed to sell Fadeley two sawed-off shotguns, and was recorded on tape saying he could supply Fadelay with four or five illegal shotguns a week.

1990

In December 1990, Weaver received felony weapons charges in connection with the 1989 transaction.

During the initial encounter with Fadeley, the Weaver family relocated from a rental house to a cabin near Ruby Ridge, Idaho, in the Selkirk mountains.

After charges were pressed against her husband, Vicki Weaver wrote to U.S. Attorney Maurice O. Ellsworth, addressing him as "Servant of the Queen of Babylon" and writing, "The stink of your lawless government has reached Heaven, the abode of Yahweh our Yashua", and "Whether we live or whether we die, we will not bow to your evil commandments."

At the time of the Ruby Ridge siege, the Weavers had four children: Sara, 16; Samuel, 14; Rachel, 10; and Elisheba, 10 months.

Vicki homeschooled the children.

1992

He was a central actor in the 1992 Ruby Ridge standoff with federal agents at his cabin near Naples, Idaho, during which his wife and son were killed.

Weaver was charged with murder, conspiracy, and assault as well as other crimes.

He was acquitted of most of the charges, but was convicted of failing to appear in court on a previous weapons charge and sentenced to 18 months in prison.

His family eventually received a total of $3,100,000 in compensation for the killing of his wife and son by federal agents.

Ruby Ridge was the site of an 11-day police standoff in 1992 in Boundary County, Idaho, near Naples.

It began on August 21, when deputies of the United States Marshals Service (USMS) initiated action to apprehend and arrest Randy Weaver under a bench warrant after his failure to appear on firearms charges.

Weaver refused to surrender and remained at home with his family and friend Kevin Harris.

The Hostage Rescue Team of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI HRT) became involved as the siege developed.

During the Marshals Service reconnoiter of the Weaver property, six Marshals encountered Harris and Sammy Weaver, Randy's 14-year-old son, in woods near the family cabin.

A shootout took place.

Marshals shot the Weavers' dog Striker, then shot Sammy Weaver in the back as he ran away, killing him.
