Lately, I’ve been thinking about the FBI’s involvement. The Bureau doesn’t roll for every missing kid, even white ones. But there’s precedent for Mormon end-times splinter groups to commit acts of terrorism. Google “Ervil LeBaron” and “The Four O’Clock Murders.” I think the FBI had received rumors that PAP and its fellow travelers were stockpiling guns and ammo, and maybe at some point somebody in the mainstream Church was/felt threatened, possibly a spouse who came forward with something like “my husband joined a freaky survivalist militia group!” The original attraction for Bureau was an opportunity to research and question lots of potential members while looking for the mysterious couple that were supposedly sheltering Tylee and JJ. Of course, the deeper they got into the case the more the agents came to care for the missing children. When it became likely they were dead, the agents weren’t gonna back off just because the case was a nonstarter as far as domestic terrorism.
