OK, conspiracy buffs, try this one on for size
So, Warren Jeffs, 50, was nabbed near mile marker 60 in Interstate 15 after dark, in the company of His brother Isaac, 32, and Naomi, 32. I'm not sure if that's her age or which wife number she is.
The cops are saying the Cadillac Escalade they were riding in was pulled over for having a temporary license plate that had "low visibility." I'm not sure what that means.
Or, maybe there's another reason.
Maybe somebody rolled over on Warren for the $100,000 reward.
What if that somebody — or sombodies — turns out to be Isaac and/or Naomi? Why else would the law let the two of them walk free? After all, they were, without question, aiding and abetting a man accused of several felonies.
And, I know that the spot where Jeffs was nabbed is isolated enough so a waiting team of cops could take him down without too much concern about being in the public eye or creating a hazard to the regular Joe's who were on the road at that time.
How's this scenario pan out: Church members got tired of the heat Warren was bringing down on them. Isaac, who may be a litle kinder and gentler, is promised the top spot if he helps eliminate the church problem (his brother). He gets Naomi thrown in as part of the deal, plus he gets to keep the $100,000 reward.
I'm thinking that by doing that, the FLDS church cleans up its act by cracking down on those who hook up with underage girls; it gets a new leader; it gets a new image; and the law backs off.
Everybody wins, except Warren, who must now explain to his new roommates why he thinks it's perfectly OK to have sex with underage girls.
I'd call that justice.

Good theory. Though it seems contingent on Mr. Jeffs having absolutely no one else who is loyal to him. I say this because if someone clues him into the fact that Naomi and Isaac were not charged, as they should be, then you think he'd have them "appropriately taken care of." Or maybe I've watched too many mafia movies.
