A note detailing the incidents had been placed in a book lent to a church congregant...one story has it that they were notes written by Jim Bob and forgotten, the other was that a note from one of the victims secretly placed into that book. The congregant, learning that the family was going to be on the Oprah show sent the note(or copy?) to the Oprah show who canceled the interview and sent the contents to the cops. The congregant was “supposedly worried that the local cops wouldn’t do anything”.
That was the official account as of Saturday night. The question Me and some Freepers had was why was the info sent to Oprah instead of the local CPS. CPS can be real NAZI’s over this sort of stuff.
I heard Oprah faxed it to the Human Services hotline who then contacted police and the case was reopened. If the family consulted with church elders in 2003 it could easily have been common knowledge around the congregation.
It looks as if one person called the State Police Child Abuse Hotline and also sent a letter to Oprah's show. Oprah's show forwarded the letter to the Dept. of Human Services (CPS?). http://imgur.com/a/zqPMi#11

Maybe they did follow up. Or maybe they didn't because the statute of limitations had passed?
