Texas authorities begin pursuit of indicted sect members

By Wednesday evening, no arrests had been made, and state and county law enforcement officials said they had no timetable for completing them. Officials close to the investigation said the names weren’t being released because the suspects are considered a flight risk – and some of the men haven’t been seen in Texas since this spring’s raid on the compound.

“They could literally be anywhere,” said Sam Brower, a Utah private investigator who has worked on polygamy cases. “They have unlimited resources, and thousands of people willing to help them hide.”

State law enforcement officials acknowledged that the search could lead them to the polygamist group’s headquarters on the Utah-Arizona border, or even outside of the country. Polygamist prophet Warren Jeffs – the only one of the men identified by authorities when the indictments were released Tuesday – was on the run for more than a year before he was apprehended in 2006.
