SAN ANGELO, Texas — State and federal prosecutors will be asked to screen evidence gathered against a Colorado woman now dubbed a "person of interest" in the investigation into a series of calls that triggered the massive raid on the Fundamentalist LDS Church's YFZ Ranch.

Rozita Swinton, 33, gave a statement to Texas Rangers, who also seized evidence from her Colorado Springs apartment. While authorities would not say specifically what was in Swinton's home, the Texas Department of Public Safety said in a statement issued late Friday that the officers found "several items that indicated a possible connection between Swinton and calls regarding the FLDS compounds in Colorado City, Ariz., and Eldorado, Texas."

Texas DPS officials said the items will be sent to crime labs for analysis.

Anti-polygamy activist Flora Jessop said she recorded hours of phone calls between herself and a 16-year-old girl named "Sarah," who claimed to be pregnant and in an abusive plural marriage to an older man. Jessop told the Deseret News she got the first call on March 30 — a day after a family crisis shelter first received a similar call.

The call to the family crisis center triggered the raid on the YFZ Ranch, where 416 children were taken into state protective custody. The man named in the phone calls, Dale Barlow, was questioned in Utah by Texas Rangers and has yet to be arrested.

Child welfare officials still have not identified the 16-year-old girl named "Sarah," whose calls prompted the raid.

"What we're hearing from DPS is that it is a possibility (that Swinton is 'Sarah'), but we don't have any concrete evidence of that," Shari Pulliam, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Family Services, said Saturday.

Jessop said the details and terminology used by the woman were eerily accurate for a girl in a fundamentalist lifestyle, but her story eventually started to have holes in it, and Jessop went to police.

"That was one of the reasons that even though I started to suspect it was a ruse at the time, made me start to think she was real," Jessop told the Deseret News on Saturday.

Texas DPS said Swinton became a "person of interest" just days after the raid first began. Eventually, authorities tracked her down in Colorado Springs, where she was arrested for making a false report to police in February.

Colorado Springs police said Swinton had claimed to be a "child in distress" in a phone call to authorities. She was convicted of making a false report to police in Castle Rock, Colo., in 2005.
