"I just heard that he had mentioned acquiring an additional wife"

To date the only reports I've seen claim that based it on unnamed sources. Given the media's love of linking Mormons with polygamy cults at the drop of a hat, I'll take those reports with a truckload of salt.

Nonetheless I heard it.

The most interesting thing to me is her comment to the police, "Oh...you think I'm that Eliz. Smart girl who RAN AWAY!" I've heard that quote a couple of times now from the officer who found her. I just heard it about half an hour ago, on more time, on the Michael Savage show. I heard the tape replay.

Why would Smart, HERSELF, think she was A RUNAWAY? The media ALWAYS played it as an abduction in the middle of the night. If this street prophet had no access to a TV, then Smart never saw the TV explanation that she had been abducted.

Since they were wearing "burkas" Mitchell could have been Islamic. Renegade Mormons are not the only ones who teach polygamy.
