Polygamist On Most Wanted List

Via FOX

Since fugitive polygamist leader Warren Jeffs was put on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list and profiled on “America’s Most Wanted,” the FBI has received a “limited number” of calls to its Salt Lake City office.

Jeffs is wanted in Utah and Arizona on charges that he arranged polygamist marriages for underage girls.

He was placed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted fugitives list Saturday, less than an hour before the television show, and the federal reward for him was boosted to $100,000.

Avery Mann, a spokesman for “America’s Most Wanted,” declined to say how many calls the program had received about Jeffs. “Regrettably, AMW does not release information on numbers of tips or locations,” he said.

Jeffs, 50, is the leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which is based in the border communities of Colorado City, Ariz., and Hildale, Utah.

It also has enclaves in Eldorado, Texas; Mancos, Colo.; Pringle, S.D.; and British Columbia, and a farm near Pioche, Nev.

FBI Supervisory Special Agent Patrick Kiernan said calls were received over the weekend at the Salt Lake City office concerning Jeffs, but he didn’t have details about the tips. Those phoned in from Utah, Idaho and Montana would be handled by the Salt Lake City office. Tips from outside the region would be forwarded to other FBI jurisdictions, Kiernan said.

What can I say? If you see this sicko report him! Read all about him here.

    They need to get this sicko behind bars a.s.a.p. With his picture out there, surely someone will call in with tip and/or for the reward.
