Sample Book Insights:
#1 I am a private detective. For the past seven years, cases involving the FLDS Church and its pedophile prophet have consumed most of my waking hours. I live just outside of Cedar City, Utah, a stunning high-desert community of some thirty thousand residents.
#2 I was unwittingly drawn into a desperate battle to bring Warren Jeffs to justice that has lasted for more than seven years. I learned many of Warren Jeffs’s most closely held secrets.
#3 I had become the polygamy expert after taking on the initial FLDS case in 2004, and had become the expert on a paranoid theocracy run by a madman. My investigations had revealed that the church had been engaged in illegal activities, and I had come to be hated by Jeffs and his followers.
#4 I was constantly on guard, afraid of what the FLDS might do to me. I was also afraid of what might happen if I died. I was not the only one making Jeffs’s list of most hated enemies. There were many more whose demise he has prayed for: those who had found the courage to expose the crimes taking place within his secret society, as well as entire sections of the United States which he deemed wicked enough to call down the judgments of God.

#1

I am a private detective. For the past seven years, cases involving the FLDS Church and its pedophile prophet have consumed most of my waking hours. I live just outside of Cedar City, Utah, a stunning high-desert community of some thirty thousand residents.

#2

I was unwittingly drawn into a desperate battle to bring Warren Jeffs to justice that has lasted for more than seven years. I learned many of Warren Jeffs’s most closely held secrets.

#3

I had become the polygamy expert after taking on the initial FLDS case in 2004, and had become the expert on a paranoid theocracy run by a madman. My investigations had revealed that the church had been engaged in illegal activities, and I had come to be hated by Jeffs and his followers.

#4

I was constantly on guard, afraid of what the FLDS might do to me. I was also afraid of what might happen if I died. I was not the only one making Jeffs’s list of most hated enemies. There were many more whose demise he has prayed for: those who had found the courage to expose the crimes taking place within his secret society, as well as entire sections of the United States which he deemed wicked enough to call down the judgments of God.

#5

The FLDS, a religious group led by Warren Jeffs, was exposed in 2008 when authorities took away more than 460 children from the compound after discovering evidence of child abuse on a massive scale.

#6

The FLDS Church, led by the prophet Rulon Jeffs, is a large, well-organized, and elaborately funded criminal enterprise. Its followers, who are mostly members of the police force, carry out the church’s commands, even if they go against the laws of man.

#7

The contents of Jeffs’s journals were discovered in Texas, and they were graphic and conclusive. They exposed the prophet’s darkest secrets and crimes, and validated conclusions I had come to over the course of my own investigation.

#8

I have spent years investigating the FLDS, and have met hundreds of victims and witnesses who have alleged crimes and abuses at the hands of Jeffs.

#9

The only way to eliminate child abuse within the FLDS is to wake up the church membership to the fact that the man they call Prophet is a criminal and a fraud. But because they have been subjected to generations of mind control and subservience, I don’t believe that they have the ability to come to that conclusion on their own.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

I was curious about the FLDS, and decided to visit Short Creek, which was only an hour away. I met with a man named Ross Chatwin, who was holding a copy of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

#2

I was looking for Ross Chatwin, a former member of the church who had been excommunicated and deprived of his livelihood. I was nervous, but I had to help him.

#3

The Chatwins were living in the unfinished basement of the house, which was cold and damp, when they decided to bring another wife into their family. They were not polygamists, but they wanted to be.

#4

The Chatwins had foolishly hoped to spin the arrangement in a manner acceptable to the prophet, who, more than anyone, they believed, should understand how God requires a husband to have numerous wives while on earth in order to ascend to higher positions in the celestial hereafter. They had made a huge mistake.

#5

Apostates in Short Creek were sending letters to FLDS members asking them to join them, explaining that Warren Jeffs was not the true leader of the church.

#6

I had to stop the couple’s astonishing narrative to explain to them that the legal age for marriage in Arizona is eighteen. They gave me a one-dollar bill, which was enough to cover my fee.

#1

I wanted to know more about the FLDS, so I put Ross in touch with the Mohave County Attorney’s Office in Arizona, which sent him to a legal clinic in Kingman that provided assistance to those who could not afford a lawyer.

#2

I went back to Short Creek to help the Chatwins finish off the basement, and connect it to the upstairs area. I began to understand the Chatwins’ fear, as the town turned ugly right before my eyes.
