Chaz Bono?
I dunno, but you’d have a 1 in 86 chance of getting it right.
Good for her, but what about her kids? Hopefully, she can now get them out.
Warren Jeffs trial pinglist—if you want on or off, let me know via freepmail!
Technically, this is not about the trial—yet. But there is one of his wives who is about the same age as this lady who might have a lot of beans to spill about Jeffs. That would be interesting!
My guess, since it’s little more than a sex cult, is that since her husband is now dead and the woman must be married, she was probably being forced to be wife #16 to some other church father.
Sounds like the authorities should raid the whole place under suspicion of multiple instances of false imprisonment.
Welcome to Mohave County, where you can have 85 wives, but only 3 dogs.
Colorado City is not that isolated. It is located along Arizona Highway 389 which becomes Utah Highway 59, the main route from Las Vegas—and, for that matter, Los Angeles—to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and other sites such as Pipe Spring National Monument.
In 2008, I visited Colorado City and shopped in a food market. Here, I was greeted by a most amazing site. Most of the customers were young women in their 20’s who wore long nineteenth-century-style dresses either in solid colors or a checkerboard pattern. Even the cashier was wearing one of these dresses. The few men I saw seemed to be older, in their 40’s or beyond. All were wearing western shirts and some wore Stetson hats. The men and women seemed to have come there from the 1880’s through a time warp.
A couple of women in the store were wearing short pants, and I figured they were probably travelers passing through and not residents of the community.
The homes in the residential neighborhoods of Colorado City are mostly much larger—for obvious reasons—than the houses usually found in small desert communities.

Jeff’s polygamist wife bolts FLDS community
Hildale/Colorado City (ABC 4 News)
HILDALE, Utah (ABC 4 News) - One of Warren Jeff’s polygamist wives has sought the help of Washington County authorities in order to leave the FLDS clan in Hildale/Colorado City.
ABC 4 has learned that it happened Monday in Hildale, Utah, a polygamist town along the Arizona border.
The incident originally triggered a major manhunt and then a standoff, according to sources.
Sources also told ABC 4 News that local town marshals and FLDS security surrounded the business of Willie Jessop, where the young woman had sought refuge.
Sounds like this stirred up the hornets’ nest!
Good for her. I hope she helps blow this thing wide open.
If she can verify the abuse going on in there, that could be all they need to go in again and maybe put an end to this abominable pedophile/sex slave racket going on in there.
Not to mention the welfare fraud.
