The sheriff’s office believed that the teens may have returned to the FLDS community in Trenton, Utah, where they used to live.

“Their mother was previously a FLDS member,” Jennifer Fullmer told, a public information manager at Sheriff’s Office, People at that time. “She was banished and had to leave the children there. And when she finally got custody of them, she brought them back to her hometown Monteview.”

“We think that (her child) wanted to go back to the FLDs lifestyle,” she added.

The authorities do not believe that the children simply went off on their own and instead suspect that they were assisted by members of their former church.

“There are no buses,” Fullmer told People. “There are no trains. It is out in the middle of the desert. Mom’s faith is that someone from the FLDs picked up the children.”
