I ordered it today too. It's more focused on one particular murder, I think, but it will still be interesting to read Krakauer's account of how the mainstream church reacted in that particular instance.

Covers a great deal more than just one murder. I just read it a few months ago.
And yes, it does cover this situation in a way. There is more than just one of these groups and they are also up in Canada.

And I think I should add that my next door neighbors are members of the Later Day Saints. And they are rather normal people. NOT like these folks at all.

And I think, IMVHO, that this threads title is a bit off and very mis-leading.

534 women, children leave polygamist ranch

All 401 children deemed in danger; arrest made earlier at compound
ELDORADO, Texas - Officials on Monday announced that 534 women and children — more than twice as many as had been earlier reported — were removed from a polygamist compound and that all 401 children have been placed in state custody because a judge deemed them in imminent danger of physical abuse.
State police earlier made an arrest as they searched the sprawling rural compound built by polygamist leader Warren Jeffs during an investigation into a possible underage marriage.

Why do you think the thread title is misleading? The sect's name is Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I realize that's only off by one word from what the mainstream Mormon church calls itself, but it is the official name.

That is what I mean/meant.
How about using one of the many head-lines?
But what ever..the actions there and current activities are more important.
