Authorities haven't located the cell phone used to place the call. No sign of the 8 month old baby the female caller claimed to have.

I don't understand a thing about polygamy......nor do I really care to. The women look so strange. It's like watching an episode of Little House On The Prairie. The women have no personality. You don't see them smile. Of course, some may say this is due to their children being removed......but I remember when that guy shot up a Amish village a few years back. The Amish people were sad, but they still had personality. They looked strange, but there was still something normal about them. I haven't seen one of the polygamist ladies who resembled anything close to normal.

The state is going to have a tough time making a case. This is especially true if they can't produce the girl who placed the call......or the cell phone she used. Another obstacle for the state will be proving how old some of these girls are. Most of the children are born on the ranch with no official records at all. The state may be able to come close using adenoids / 12 year molars as a guide, but proving that a girl is 15, 16, 17 is going to be tough. OH - when the girl first placed the call, she talked about her "husband" raping her. However, this "husband" has been living on a ranch in Arizona for the past several years. This guy is on probation and his probation officer says that he has talked to this guy everyday and seen him at least once a week for the past three years. This will not be an easy case.

Amish and Mennonites aren't that freaky. I see them at flea markets and stuff. The women don't look like those mormon women. Of course they didn't just have their children all ripped from their homes.
