"A 33-year-old Colorado Springs woman has been questioned about a telephone call that sparked a raid at the polygamist Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints compound in western Texas two weeks ago.

Rozita Swinton was arrested at her home Wednesday night by Colorado Springs police for an incident that occurred in February. Members of the Texas Rangers were also in Colorado Springs as part of their investigation.

"The Texas Rangers were in Colorado Springs (Wednesday) as part of their investigation involving the compound in Texas. They left and have not filed any charges on Rozita Swinton as of this time," said Colorado Springs police spokesman Lt. Skip Arms.

Colorado Springs police said the arrest warrant has been sealed and refused to release any other details, reported Deseret News."

There may be the bigger problem of inbreeding and what these kids are bred for.

You should bother reading the affidavit in support of the request for the search warrant.

There was a lot more support for the warrant than just anonymous phone call.

Since I know you've read that affidavit and already knew that, it makes me suspect you have an ulterior motive.

BTW. On the News.

The Judge in the Custody Hearing has made a determination that their is SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE to support the charges of ABUSE, and that the CHILDREN were duly removed from the compound and will not be returned.

Oh that is true. The caller had detail that didn’t come out of the blue (supposedly)

But then in the same vein, there are few varied surnames in the polygamist world. Especially the fLDS one.

But, if for example, I wanted to make a prank call about the UAB (another Utah polygamist group), I know that Jenson and Allred are common names in that group. So I call and whisper, “my name is Elizabeth Allred, and my husbands name is Richard...” there is a good chance that there indeed is a young girl named Elizabeth Allred and a man named Richard Allred in that particular group.

Then we have the added possibility that there have been news article about this particular Dale Barlow and his penchant for young brides. It wouldn’t be hard to make up the name “Sarah” and make a hoax call similar to the one above, using information gleaned from a newspaper.

There are so many possibilities, including one where a real live girl makes the call and dissappears....or perhaps she is indeed under CPS wing and they know exactly who she is but are not telling for some reason, maybe so her sister or mother isn’t harmed or something. It will all come out eventually.

Well, my mother married my father when she was 15 and he was 25. She was madly in love for 4 years and just plain old mad the rest of her life. 15 is still a child and too young to make a determination about the rest of their life or if they want to be a sex toy or breeding machine for some old or young man.

From what I understand, this woman is NOT suspected of being the original caller, but being a subsequent caller claiming to be “Sarah’s” twin sister.

She could have gotten quite a few details of the phone call from news accounts.

“What victims are being persecuting?”

BTW. There is a name for the substitution of wrong tenses, mixup of pronouns, etc. when posting on FR.

I can’t remember what the name of if is, but I have it two.

Don’t know if you are on the thread this late.

Yes. You are absolutely correct.

Any help in filling in details or making corrections is always appreciated.

I imagine that soon, everything that has happened will all make sense, and we will see that the right thing is being done.

And that is what is really important. Isn’t it?

“Now just what kind of spiritual lesson is this old coot going to teach these girls.”

Sounds like the question Warren Jeffs asked himself when he took over from ole sick dying daddy RULON, and declared himself PROPHET and official ‘channeler’ of GOD’s will.
