(KSL News) Searches of polygamist homes on the Utah- Arizona border have confirmed what Eyewitness News reported last month. Authorities wanted DNA samples from four Colorado City, Arizona men.

Prosecutors believe those samples will prove paternity, and show the men married and fathered children with teenage brides.

Court documents show those warrants also brought forth journals, family pictures, and bank statements.

The four men are among eight indicted in Arizona on felony charges. The first trial is scheduled to start next week.
