When police arrested Swinton, they seized boxes of evidence from her apartment. Some of that evidence is in the hands of Texas Rangers, who were present for Swinton's arrest in Colorado Springs. Texas authorities have said the evidence seized suggests a connection between Swinton and the calls regarding the FLDS, but have declined to say when they will be turning over their case to prosecutors.

"The Texas Rangers are continuing their investigation," Texas Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Tela Mange said Friday.

Swinton's foster mother has said in a pair of books that she suffers from a multiple personality disorder and was a child sex abuse victim.

Swinton was convicted in a 2005 case in Castle Rock, Colo., where she claimed to be a 16-year-old girl named "Jessica," who planned to abandon her baby and commit suicide. Authorities have also investigated hoax calls about abused girls named "Jennifer," "April" and "V."

The Utah Attorney General's Office said it is still investigating a similar call of abuse made to Division of Child and Family Services caseworkers in St. George. A DCFS spokeswoman has said the call may be related on the ongoing criminal matter in Texas.
