i'm gonna call matt they should have been here by now hey hey what's going on where
are you guys all right you know what she's already passed the turn off for the hotels i
don't know if she's gonna pass you guys up and keep heading out or she's gonna pull in i just
i'm at a loss here i don't know what she's doing thanks matt bye
seems like she's stalling or something she's been driving all day so i'm sure she's pretty
exhausted all the kids have got to be exhausted too let's go see if we can save a spot parking
spot or something for her all right well there's even a spot for her to park what's going on hey uh
get ready we're about five minutes out she just turned on the right road to head to the hotel
all right sweet i'll see you in a couple minutes all right awesome see you matt
i just want to tell you guys i'm just so happy that you guys are all together and i'm
ecstatic that you're here who are you i'm colleen i'm chanelle's little sister yeah you guys must
be exhausted i don't want to go in there there's a nice warm room nice warm bed you can get some
sleep i don't want to go in there wouldn't you rather sleep in a bed with blankets and pillows
i don't want to sleep we've already got you guys a room and you guys all need a break julie is angry
because she truly believes that her mother is taking her whole family into the depths of hell
she just knows she wants to get back to the uo are you guys hungry at all no why did you know
home we're not here to try and push you into doing anything we really want to help all of you guys
well i don't know if you already knew this but we left a different polygamous group
and we can relate and you're 13 right now
honestly you are so lucky to have this opportunity
i don't want to go in there she's scared she's so uncomfortable though i know she doesn't want to
be around people she doesn't know poor girl julie is just hating us and pushing us off
but it's not her fault she has been so severely brainwashed deceived and lied to that she
there's no way she could even recognize that we're trying to help her no matter what she sees us as
the bad guys the gentiles the people who's trying to pull her away from the one true church
and if she lets that happen she will be damned
there's a room up here waiting for you that would be perfect to just
finally get out of the car and let everybody just sleep in a bed and you know what in the morning
you don't if you don't want anything to do with this you don't have to have anything to do with us
but please come in i promise you i am on your side i promise you i'm on your side
how do you get out there i'll just go look at it i have the keys
it's really frustrating to see the extent of control that the religion has over their people
and it almost seems impossible to make a breakthrough with any of them i just want to be
there for her i want to be her friend and i want her to understand that she's not alone in this
i'm so excited they're all together and they are moving to a new place to have new possibilities
i'm so excited for that
we are probably about an hour northeast of denver lizzie and her family left the hotel
this morning while i was out there they flew out of there really quick
so i i i followed them out just to make sure they're safe i don't know what they were doing
i really really really really think that you lizzy need to get some sleep
you know i was a police officer for 20 years
my job is to protect people my job is to make sure people are safe now what we can do
julie julie i'm talking to your mom okay i'm i'm talking to your mom
i called the room and nobody answered matt said to meet him downstairs
there's matt what happened i came out here this morning they all ran out the door ran to their car
and took off so i followed him for a while and finally got tired of following him not knowing
what's going on so i've texted her and she pulled over and i was trying to have a conversation with
with lizzie just see what's going on and julie kept interrupting and i said julie i'm talking to
your mom and julie says well that's not my mom and then lizzy just went blank her face was pales you
could tell she wasn't happy she said she didn't want any more security she didn't want anything
and she was i just want to go and so i said all right
sad i bet you anything julie's trying to get herself taken back to colorado city
well we've done what we can so let me know what you need okay yeah
thanks
this is a really strong example of how the flds group is destroying families
i don't know how the damage that has been done to that family can be fixed
