The FLDS leader is on the FBI's Most Wanted List. Utah and Arizona authorities are offering a $60,000 reward for information leading to Jeffs' arrest. Authorities believe FLDS Church faithful are sending money to help keep him on the run.

"It really is different than any other fugitive situation," Shurtleff said. "This guy has a network of support and cash and phones and aliases. You've got people working very hard to hide him."

The polygamous church has enclaves in Hildale, Utah; Colorado City, Ariz.; Eldorado, Texas; Pringle, S.D. and Bountiful, British Columbia in Canada.

Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff told the Deseret Morning News he met with Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard in Park City on Tuesday to discuss the lack of progress in the search for Jeffs. Both men plan to meet with the FBI and the U.S. Attorneys for Utah and Arizona to discuss ways to expand the manhunt.
