McClain died in 2019 after police violently subdued him and injected him with nearly twice the amount of ketamine recommended for a person his size. In Denver, Floyd’s killing also ignited a simmering anger over the death of Elijah McClain, a young Black man from nearby Aurora. Windecker appeared on the Denver protest scene in the summer of 2020, when the nation was reeling from the on-camera murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police. It is unclear whether those receipts represent the entirety of FBI payments to Windecker. Windecker made more than $20,000 working for the FBI during the summer of 2020, Aaronson reported, according to payment receipts. Presented with documents and recordings that showed his work for the FBI, Windecker stopped responding to Aaronson. You get proof of me working for the FBI, then I’ll say otherwise, but there’s no proof because I didn’t work for them.” My previous landlord notified me and sent me these papers that you put on the old door that I used to live at, stating that I work for the FBI. I have already notified my attorney about this. “I will take you to court and I will break you off in court for defamation of character and slander. “If you post something, a story about me saying supposedly I work for the FBI, I will sue the shit out of you,” Windecker told Aaronson in a voicemail.
He spoke on the phone to the Alphabet Boys podcast, after its host, Trevor Aaronson, left notes at his old apartment. Windecker did not return The Daily Beast’s requests for comment. The FBI’s national and Denver offices declined to comment. The Alphabet Boys podcast shared some of its documents, including recordings and an FBI summary report, with The Daily Beast, which corroborated those documents through court records and with other Colorado activists who’d encountered Windecker. Windecker’s informant status was first reported this week on the podcast Alphabet Boys, which explores Windecker’s case and FBI involvement in the Colorado protests.
Other Denver-area activists accuse Windecker of inflaming otherwise-peaceful demonstrations, encouraging people to break windows, and leading marches directly into police traps. The informant, Mickey Windecker, pushed an activist to buy a gun for him, resulting in the activist’s guilty plea on weapons charges.
An outlandish guerrilla militant who drove a silver Hearse to Denver-area Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 was secretly a federal informant with a sex crime conviction, a new podcast reveals.
