Andrew Adams reportingShocking discoveries at the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) compound in Texas are raising concern about what else might surface.
Utah's attorney general says he wasn't surprised by the beds in the temple that may have been used for sex with underage brides. But he tells KSL's "Doug Wright Show" it raises fear of what else may be, like blood atonement.
"Blood atonement meant if you apostatize, the only way you're gonna be redeemed is slit your throat from ear to ear. Now, they told them, ‘It's not been brought back yet, but it could be any minute.' People lived under that fear," Attorney General Mark Shurtleff explained.
Shurtleff acknowledges people have disappeared before. He hopes the 16-year-old informant surfaces.
