Somni (passport name "Alexander Leatham, also known as "Somnulence Logencia") is a former member of the rationalist community who became involved in multiple incidents leading to criminal charges between 2019 and 2023.
CFAR Alumni Reunion Protest
On November 15, 2019, Leatham participated in a protest at a CFAR alumni reunion alongside LaSota, Gwen Danielson, and Emma Borhanian. The group blocked access to the venue while wearing black robes and Guy Fawkes masks. This led to Leatham's arrest on suspicion of felony child endangerment, false imprisonment, conspiracy, and misdemeanor charges including resisting arrest, wearing a mask while committing a crime, and trespassing.
Following the arrests, Leatham's charges for the alumni reunion protest were suspended pending an evaluation for mental competency. A supporter identified as "loving-n0t-heyting" on Tumblr protested against this evaluation, blaming it on Leatham's lawyers.
Vallejo Incident
On November 13, 2022, Leatham was involved in a violent altercation at a property in Vallejo, California, where they had been living with Emma Borhanian and an individual known as Suri Dao. The conflict arose from an eviction dispute with landlord Curtis Lind, who owned the lot at the 600 block of Third Street where the group had stopped paying rent during the COVID-19 eviction moratorium.
During the incident, Leatham allegedly stabbed Lind with a sword. According to witness Patrick McMillan, Lind appeared with "a samurai sword stuck to his back with about a foot of it sticking out in front." Lind then shot both Leatham and Borhanian. Leatham, who was reportedly wearing a flak jacket during the confrontation, survived being shot three times, while Borhanian died at the scene.
Criminal Charges and Escape Attempts
Leatham was charged with two counts of murder and one count of aggravated mayhem for the Vallejo incident. One murder charge was for the attempted murder of Lind, while the other was related to Borhanian's death, apparently under the provocative act murder doctrine or felony murder rule.
While in custody, Leatham made multiple escape attempts:
- In February 2023, during transport to a Vallejo courthouse hearing, Leatham requested a wheelchair. When the deputy went to retrieve one, Leatham attempted to run but was caught at a cyclone fence.
Death of Key Witness
On January 17, 2025, Curtis Lind, the primary witness in the case against Leatham, was murdered in Vallejo. According to prosecutors, Lind was "the only eye-witness to this case and his testimony is critical for the People to have the ability to prove their case." The District Attorney's office had noted this in court papers filed just one day before Lind's death. Maximilian "Audere" Snyder was later arrested in connection with Lind's murder.
Current Status
Leatham remains incarcerated and faces charges related to both the escape attempts and the Vallejo incident. Court records as of 2025 also indicate they are mentioned in police reports related to the Pennsylvania double homicide investigation.
