Re: 56 unmarked child graves in Colorado City, Arizona
Fax: XXX XXX - XXXX
We request that you open a formal investigation into the dramatic situation that exists for children in Colorado City. We want the graveyard known as the “Baby Graveyard” in Colorado City to be designated a crime scene and the bodies exhumed to find out who is buried in them and why so many children are dead. It is located in the Colorado City compound close to the Isaac V. Carling cemetery. I, Linda Walker, documented with a video cam 46 unmarked graves in the baby graveyard and another 10 + in the Isaac V. Carling cemetery for over 56 unmarked baby graves. I also documented all the graves with markers for a total of 425 graves, 227 are children and the rest adults.
Anyone can tell these are children’s graves because they do not bother to remove the extra dirt and so there is a mound left that is about the size of a small child or casket.
I am faxing you the hard copy of all the information I have compiled so far.
We also know that people are burying their children in the canyons and in home burial plots. Evidently there are no laws against this in Utah but I have not checked the laws in Arizona. These polygamous white supremacy compounds straddle the borders of both states and so this is the FBI’s venue. Despite many apparent oversights in the law, there are no circumstances under which people can bury children with no notice whatsoever to any officials. Death certificates are required. Yet, this is what they have done and in large numbers.
Simply adding up the numbers and ages of the people we know are buried in the baby graveyard and the Isaac V. Carling cemetery gives us this profile:
425 graves
56 entirely unmarked child graves
227 child graves all together for a total of 53% children under 10
The children for whom we have been able to determine a cause of death, many of them died at the hands of their parents through what can only be called negligence by a civilized society.
Examples:
Mike Copeland was mauled to death by dogs at age 2 and 1/2 and he is number 104 on the sheets I am faxing. We do not think there is any death certificate record for him but since these records are now private instead of public information, we cannot be sure but certainly the FBI can find out if his birth or death was ever recorded anywhere. Two children apparently drank poison. Knowing how difficult it is to get children to taste new foods, it is amazing they would willingly down hydrogen peroxide. One five year old died from burning. Two two year olds were run over and so was a 6 year old. One 10 year old fell of the mountain.Too many children are being run over and we are wondering if they are beaten nearly to death first. The local coroner said he has never had a child run over in St George in fifteen years, yet in Colorado City, a much smaller community, several have been run over in that time.
Also a cursory look at the vital records death statistics for Colorado City do not match at all with the deaths recorded in the cemetery and this does not of course count the unbelievable number of 56 more child deaths. The child cemetery has not been in use very long either. Not counting the unmarked graves, the state has lost track of 20 children between the ages of 1 and 9 that died from 1997 - 2002. This does not include children from the Isaac V. Carling graveyard. We asked them to give us statistics for many more years than this but again officials seem to take their jobs rather lightly as I know it is easy to pull these stats.
Activists think that young boys (11-20 yr olds) are being killed. The death rate for them is very high and the reasons for death that we do have listed as accidents could easily be evaluated as homicides. Unfortunately, lapse law enforcement (law enforcement we have endeavored to get decertified because they are committing felonies) never seems to think so. I understand accidents are common with children but this is far from the norm.
We know that disobedience is severely punished and think that boys who are not obedient or brutal enough for the society are killed and used as examples so others will not consider disobeying the leaders. As an example they would say something like, “Remember what happened to Mike, that can happen to you.” We also know that families are punished if they do not control their children adequately. And that it is preached that you can stop a child from crying by 6 months if you slap them hard enough, or hold their head under water.
We further think that the reason why there are so few death records and why there may be more birth records is because they are collecting welfare on dead children.
I am asking as a concerned citizen who is also an expert on the Mormon Church that at least some agents that are put on this case., NOT be Mormons. For years activists have been turning in crimes committed in this community and getting largely stonewalled by what we think are many government agents devoted to a religion where they have taken a vow to do nothing to publicly embarrass or harm the reputation of their church. This problem belongs at the doorstep of the Mormon Church despite their vain denials they have nothing to do with polygamy. They started this and they failed to stop it, and now we are seeing the results of this failed human experimentation. Once again the Mormons expect the public to pick up the tab for their folly.
I remain ready to give you more information as it becomes available and only ask that you place some of your resources towards solving this problem instead of continuing to try and sweep it under the carpet. The concerned public is not going to go away.

This is beyond comprehension. My mind is on overload.
I need a break. Back in a few....
I am overcome by this.....
I know these people, I have worked beside them, done business with them and yes, even gone to Church with them. OMG, OMG.........
Lot’s of questions. With girls getting pregnant that young and that often there should be a higher number of miscarriages and premies too. I’m assuming they birth “at home”. Do premature babies go to hospitals?
I would think that there are a lot of babies that die at a young age just because of birth defects.
The voice of experience
This is so sick.
That this has been known about, and help asked for, and obviously denied by just sweeping it under the “dirt” -so to speak, is beyond words to describe.
I am grieved for the poor children. May God intervene through the courts, which is what He ordained law to do, for the weak and helpless, against evil.
