The FLDS soap opera continues with yet another twist.

Is Sam Brower photographing Willie Jessop and if so, why? Willie isn't part of the Texas investigation. Merrill Jessop is.

With Warren Jeffs in jail and Merrill Jessop in hiding, perhaps the next leader to go after is Willie Jessop. Is there an investigation going on that we don't know about? Or is Sam merely trying to locate Merrill Jessop who could be hanging with Willie?

Despite the denials, this looks a lot like retribution as Sam was instrumental in obtaining a restraining order against Willie just a few short weeks ago. If Sam spent time photographing Willie's children while trespassing then Willie should have photos of Sam's alleged trespassing. Let's see the evidence.

My sentiments exactly Gal50. It really does seem like "tit for tat" (not trying to be ugly). I would venture to be that Mr. Willie Jessop is not as "innocent" as he would like to portray himself as being, nor is he the great protector of his family. My major is psychology and I would be very interested in doing a social history on all of the "players" to see what their childhood was like. It might give some insight into why they are the way they are...particularly Warren Jeff. Has anyone been able to find out or know who his bio mother is? I cannot find anything on her...everything shows his father.

Kudos to Sam Brower for informing the world about the atrocities going on within the FLDS communities. The FLDS rape young girls and then claim religious freedom.

Bad things happen when good men do nothing... Brower is doing something about it which is more than one can say for Utah's Attorney General.

Keep these folks under the microscope. No telling what or who you will find.
