Polygamy Under Attack From Tom Green to Brian David Mitchell

John R. Llewellyn, retired Salt Lake County Sheriff's Lieutenant, specialized in sex crime investigation that included polygamy complaints. He compiled an intelligence file on mass murderer Ervil LeBaron, who in 1977 ordered the death of Doctor Rulon C. Allred, leader of Utah's second largest polygamist group. LeBaron, a self-imposed"One Mighty and Strong," attempted to extort tithing from Utah's polygamist groups. John’s book Murder of a Prophet is a paradigm of the Allred murder, and factual exposeì of the dark side of Utah polygamist cults. A Teenager’s Tears: When Parents Convert to Polygamy is a tender, emotionally-charged walk in their shoes. In order to best combat and understand the polygamist, deputy Llewellyn studied Mormon doctrine and was converted to Mormonism, and then Mormon Fundamentalism. Impressed with the integrity, virtue and undaunted conviction of many of the polygamists, after his retirement, Llewellyn became a member of Apostolic United Brethren. However, when the leadership of Apostolic United Brethren re-postured, claiming "all" the priesthood keys and pretending they were the sole conduit to a celestial exaltation, Llewellyn took a second look at the fundamentalist belief structure and summarily disassociated himself. Llewellyn, now a muckraker and freelance writer, is recognized as an expert on Mormon Fundamentalism and polygamy. He is also the lead investigator in several lawsuits against polygamists, including James D. Harmston and his True and Living Church, headquartered at Manti, Utah. He is also a consultant for the Utah Attorney General's Office.Llewellyn, John R. is the author of 'Polygamy Under Attack From Tom Green to Brian David Mitchell', published 2004 under ISBN 9781888106763 and ISBN 188810676X.
