Carolyn Jessop spent the first 35 years of her life in the Colorado City, Ariz., and Hildale, Utah, polygamist community and was married to Merril Jessop, one of Warren Jeff's top lieutenants. After Warren Jeffs took over, she became increasingly concerned for the safety and well-being of her children. She escaped in the early morning hours with her eight children in April 2003. She now lives in the Salt Lake City area.
