Jacqueline LeBaron, a fugitive since 1992, just got picked up in Honduras where she had been hiding out. LeBaron is accused of being completely freaking nuts. Sorry, I mean she is accused of murdering rival polygamists and disobedient church members for her equally nutty father, Ervil (classic name). I don't actually want to know what 'rival polygamists' really means but you'd have to think they'd all want to band together since polygamy is one of the least accepted of all of the gross things in the U.S.
From today's NY Times:
LeBaron's father, Ervil LeBaron, was the leader of the Church of the Lamb of God. Investigators say the elder LeBaron ordered the executions of rival polygamists in the 1970s. In 1972 he was convicted in Utah of ordering family members to kill his brother, who was said to have disobeyed church laws.
Ervil LeBaron, who reportedly ordered the killing of disobedient church members, died in the Utah state prison in 1981.
