Woman suspected of triggering raid

SALT LAKE CITY, June 1 (UPI) -- The woman suspected of making the now-discredited calls that triggered the raid on a Texas polygamous sect's ranch lived a troubled life, officials say.

Authorities have linked the calls claiming abuse at the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to Rozita Swinton, a 33-year-old Colorado Springs, Colo., woman they say has assumed at least nine personalities since 2005.

She has been diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder, and complained to officials she had been sexually abused by her father, the Salt Lake Tribune reported Sunday.

After receiving calls from a woman, who said she was a teen being abused sexually at the sect's Yearning for Zion Ranch, Texas authorities raided the sprawling compound and removed more than 460 children.

Now, nearly two months after the raid, Texas appellate courts have said authorities lacked evidence to remove the children, the newspaper reported.

Swinton remains a "person of interest" in connection with the YFZ Ranch calls as they await unspecified test results, a spokesman for the Texas Rangers said.
