After Ruby ran, she made a statement by cutting her really long hair. She got a new wardrobe, but by deception was taken from Quail Creek Reservoir, back to Uncle Fred’s house. For 35 days, the FLDS priesthood kept her isolated from her sister, from Utah DFS and upon returning, with her mother present, she stoic said she was OK and returned to Hildale and Fred Jessops home. We know today that she returned at age 16 to her Jeffs chosen husband and has not beed seen out of Colorado City since. She was at the same ceremony and married at age 14 the first go around with Jane Doe #4.
The conversation is between Les Zitting an activist and ex creeker, with James Zitting his brother and body guard and driver to Fred Jessop.

This covers more on the April 2001 Runaway. We know about Jane Does #4 and Ruby Jessop, but there were several others, less visible. Caroline was high visibilty after the local Sheriff returned her to her father. It worked out in the end, but there were several now forgotten as this trial of the leader moves on.
