Were the First Company to have the usda verify that our chickens are raised in the usa. To bring your family a freshtasting chicken. Perdue. We believe in a better chicken. Good evening. Thank you for joining us. Tonight, a formal marshal is speaking out exclusively to us with allegations warren jeffs is exerting control not just over his congregation but local government from prison. Watch what happens when dan harris confronts town officials. Reporter we are being followed by what we believe to be members of the official Security Team for an outlaw religion. Right on my tail. Reporter they dont like outsiders in this isolated Desert Community the epicenter of the flds. A mormon Splinter Group that still practices polygamy. Here the women wear prairie dresses. Thousands of flds members live here in two small towns straddling the border of utah and arizona. Even though their prophet is in prison, he still controls every aspect of life here. Obey the profit when he speaks and youll be blessed. Disobey him, it is death. Reporter now however, a small but growing independent movement. A new Public School a subway and the emergence of this man, who used to be the top lawman here. His name is heleman barlow. And he was once the marshal that controlled these close towns. In a place that placed him in close proximity to the prophet. He had broken from the faith and is now divulging what he says are church secrets to federal investigators who are suing the local government accusing him of being controlled by the church. Do the police here protect and serve the people or the church. My job was to protect the church. Reporter what youre describing is a straightup theocracy. Exactly. Reporter it took some convincing but he finally agreed to do this his First Television interview surrounded with former church members. Barlow says local Law Enforcement knew about widespread underage marriages and did nothing to stop it and that he was asked by a city official to alter police reports. Barlow also said that when warren jeffs was on the run and listed as one of americas most wanted and made them available to warren jeffs. I knew it was wrong. But it was a way for me to keep my value up. Reporter did you live in fear that the prophet could actually take your family away from you . Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. Reporter with one phone call . And he could call me and say youre out. And i could say im not going. You need to call her. Reporter would you have left him . If you leave, stay with your husband. If you keep your children with you, then you have spiritually killed spiritually murdered your children. Reporter then we saw this sign. Town meeting, executive session, 6 30. A Town Council Meeting on this very night where members of the public would be given three minutes to make comments. Good evening. My name is dan harris from abc news. When we showed up, it was pretty quickly clear that local officials did not want to respond to charges that they are controlled by the church. The federal government has sued you, saying that you are essentially a wing of the flds church. How do you respond to that . Do you have our attorneys phone number . Reporter its a pretty serious charge that i would think you would want to answer yourselves. Theyre saying that you as an elected body here in the United States of america are effectively the wing of a church. One whose prophet is in prison for two counts of Sexual Assault of a child. You wouldnt want to respond to that . I would imagine you would want to speak for yourselves. Is anybody here not a member of the flds . Youre just going to wait out the three minutes . Thank you. Reporter the next night at a Council Meeting in the next town over we actually got a response. I personally deny that. I would hope you would give us the respect of allowing each person in this room their personal beliefs. Reporter there have been allegations from several levels of government that the Marshals Office the police force here is essentially the armed wing the security wing of the flds. Do you take a view on that . I deny it in full. Reporter you deny it in full. Your three minutes is up. Reporter we called an attorney who represents one of these towns who also denied that officials are controlled by the church. And with regards to the former chief, barlow he said we question his credibility because he has lied under oath. Barlow admits he has perjured himself while defending the church in the past. But he insists that what hes saying now true. Today when discussing his decision to leave the nchurch, he and his wife say it was not only because of the things he felt forced to do as chief but because of the strange and arbitrary rules being imposed on all members by the prophet warren jeffs. Reporter what were the kind of rules he would hand down . First it was eat very little ate. Then they said use beans for protein. Then the next week, beans were forbidden. Reporter there are signs of hope emerging in this community, that new Public School something jeffs had once banned. They are now get being aok proper education. Do i hear 100,000 . Reporter we also went to this auction where property once controlled by the church is now being sold off to anyone who wants to buy it. Warren jeffs former body guard has purchased a compound that was built for the prophet and turned it into the americas most wanted bed and breakfast which he is more than happy to show off. These are typical rooms here and very comfortable. Reporter even though this community is slowly changing its still very tense and very divided. For example, listen to what this woman, one of the few flds members who actually agreed to speak with us had to say about warren jeffs. She believes the admitted pedophile is the victim of prejudice. Reporter is that the view thats happening with the prophet that its persecution . In my opinion, yes. Reporter do people feel like hell come back . I do. Reporter you do. She apparently is not alone. During our interview with bash low, members of Church Security also known as the god squad, repeatedly drove past us. Why do people believe in a prophet who has been convicted for molesting children . They are forbidden to read newspapers. They dont listen to radio often. No tv. And the only information they get is what theyre given over the pulpit. Reporter so where is all of this heading . Barlow says he swings between optimism that this community will slowly join mainstream america and dark pessimism about worstcase scenarios. Reporter do you think it has a potential to get ugly here before it gets better . I do. I do very much so. Reporter what kind violent . When people realize, hey this is broke and we got tricked. These people caused me to do this much harm to my own family, i think you cannot underestimate the kind of emotions and anger and violence that is possible in that scenario.

Were about to take you inside a very strange case that started out with a woman vanishing and then turning up 400 miles away. Her lawyer says it was at the hands of kidnappers who let her go because they felt guilty. But tonight police are investigating whether those kidnappers were, well imaginary. Reporter tonight, a puzzling turn in the alleged real life gone girl. 29yearold Denise Huskins claims she was kidnapped from her boyfriends home. But police claim it was nothing but a hoax which drew comparisons to the hollywood blockbuster gone girl. My wife disappeared three days ago. Reporter buff tonight, Denise HuskinsAttorney Says he has proof that she isnt a liar but a victim and that her kidnappers are still on the loose. I have come to receive a 15page, singlespaced email from the kidnappers. Reporter speaking with abc news huskins lawyer characterized a stunning manifesto he says the kidnappers emailed to the San Francisco chronicle after she showed up safely, two days after her boyfriend reported she was abducted from his vallejo, california home. They talked extensively about how they prepared for it what weapons to use. This email, for lack of a better term blew my mind. Reporter those emails have brought the case back into the spotlight. In the manifesto, the alleged kidnappers claim to have used a strobe light and red laser beams to subdue the victim. They also claim they used a dog shock collar to prevent the victim from crying out. They compare themselves to the crew from oceans 11. They said they nabbed her as a dry run so they could kid nam higher profile victims in the future. They felt terrible when they discovered it was her, but since it was a Training Mission they decided to carry it out regardless. Reporter the reason they say they sent the email . Regret. They didnt want to harm her. In fact, during the course of this it became a case of reverse stockholm syndrome where they felt badly for her. Reporter its the latest twist in what investigators are calling a baffling case that started a week ago. She was reported missing. Her family devastated. Its like a bad dream, and i cant wake up. Reporter and the police were baffled. We are treating this ago a kid nam for ransom. Reporter they say she was abducted in the early morning, but it wasnt until 1 55 that afternoon, ten hours later, that her 30year old boyfriend called to report it claiming he witnessed the whole thing but couldnt instantly report it because he said he was bound and drugged by at least two assailants. He was saying that the female, ms. Huskins, was forcibly taken against her will from the residence. Reporter the next day, a stunning break in the case when the San Francisco chronicle reported it received an email with what appeared to be a hostage reporting from huskins. My name is Denise Huskins, im kidnapped. Otherwise im fine. Reporter she also mentioned recent news events. Earlier today there was a plane crash in the alps and 150 people died. Reporter along with a ransom request for 8500. Henry k. Lee is the reporter who received the manifesto that detailed the specific amount of the ransom. They chose the 8500 ransom because it falls below the 10,000 federal level. Theyre saying theyre below that threshold so no one would find out. Reporter but it was wednesday morning that the case took a shocking twist. Denise huskins imaginely reemerged, apparently following the same story line of hollywoods gone girl. She was found alive and well, 400 miles away at her fathers apartment in southern california. After she says her captors dropped her off. Ms. Huskins indicated that she would be happy to meet with our police detectives. Reporter the police and fbi made arrangements to fly her back to Northern California she disappeared again. As of right now, we have not heard from ms. Huskins, and we are no longer in contact with any of the family members. Reporter as police are investigating the claims serious doubts were raised. Her investigation has concluded that none of the claims has been substantiated. Reporter on thursday huskins resurfaced with a lawyer, even participating in a fivehour police interrogation. But as pleaseolice weigh the evidence, the court of Public Opinion is skeptical. Everything about this kidnap screams out hoax. She was returned without the kidnappers ever getting any ransom money. She gave a proof of life audio file. She basically says im sorry, ive been kidnapped. No. Everything sounds phony. Reporter the lawyer wouldnt tell us how he got the email or show the contents, but abc was able to see it from another source. When you read this email youll see that this is a terrible problem for Public Safety and that denise is just the first victim. Reporter as for Denise Huskins and aaron quinn, the couple could facial criminal charges if prosecutors believe they made up the kidnapping claims, which they both deny. Now these are all allegations. It may very well turn out that Denise Huskins was really kidnapped by gentlemen bandits who never got their money. The. Reporter for nightline in los angeles. Okay.
