Biography
Fare, whose real name is Keri Furman Mendoza, found herself in the news in 2004 during the trial of Justin Helzer, one of the conspirators in a quintuple murder which claimed the life of the daughter of blues guitarist Elvin Bishop. Fare had dated one of the other conspirators, Helzer's older brother Glenn, who had convinced her to get the breast implants that eventually landed her a spread in Playboy magazine. She stated that Glenn was charismatic and influential enough to accumulate followers to live his 12 principles of magic, recalling that "it was special just to know him."
Author Erik Davis wrote in his book The Visionary State: A Journey Through California's Spiritual Landscape that Fare became involved with a group run by Glenn and Justin Helzer called Transform America.
