Transcript
00:11After I got Sam's confession, I gave the audio to the local police department.
00:18I say, I got a bombshell.
00:20I have evidence.
00:22I have proof.
00:22I have the proof you've been waiting for.
00:24It was not adultery.
00:26It was obedience.
00:27And I expected maybe, you know, within three days I would get a call back.
00:32You know, yep, this is it.
00:34We're going to go arrest him.
00:36But it took a while for the police to get back to us.
00:42So we kept filming.
00:47Here we are in the Bentley with the man with the plan.
00:51Wow, what an interior.
00:52I love it, the white jacket and the tan.
00:54It came out.
00:55I would ask questions to try to get more information.
01:01So I'm sorry that I'm not educated in this.
01:04That's right.
01:05But it was revealed to you what to do to save them?
01:09All I know was I was sitting in our meetings one morning and I was like, holy shit.
01:16And I said, I will obey.
01:19Because the Lord told me to do this thing.
01:23So do you think that the reason you had to witness it was something you would hurt?
01:28It was so much pain.
01:29There's pain.
01:30They're my sweethearts.
01:31There's nothing on the earth more precious to me than the virtue of women in general and my own wives.
01:39I think he wanted somebody to say, wow, you must be the new Messiah that you would hurt like Jesus.
01:47Did you cry?
01:49I couldn't even cry.
01:51I didn't know.
01:51I was so shocked.
01:52I didn't cry.
01:53I don't think.
01:54Yeah, I did.
01:55Sorry.
01:55I didn't cry.
01:57But watch.
01:58You'll find out that God may be a prophet and you'll find out that people will come back.
02:02They will come begging me for forgiveness.
02:06Do you see more wives joining the family?
02:10Probably.
02:11Yeah.
02:12Yeah.
02:30Yeah.
02:43Okay.
02:43But what if the rose looks pretty but the dawn has cut me?
02:49But what if I trust me?
03:11When Christy recorded Sam talking about the sexual abuse,
03:15I knew that Heather really worried and worked up in her feelings
03:19about what was going on there.
03:21She was worried about the girls.
03:24Thank you so much, Christine, for everything also.
03:27Love you and God bless you.
03:29Eventually, I heard back from the police
03:33who said that wasn't enough evidence.
03:40Christine had told me about the recording.
03:43In that recording, Sam talks about adult men
03:48having sex with young women.
03:51I don't remember exact wording, obviously.
03:55I haven't listened to it since I listened to it the first time.
03:58It's not something I like to burden myself with
04:02as we go through these cases
04:05because there is a lot of information that comes
04:07that hurts a gentle heart.
04:16We had a tape.
04:18We had Christine Marie who could testify
04:21that she created the tape.
04:28Based on this single tape,
04:30I didn't have enough for a warrant.
04:32What was missing was the finer elements.
04:35There was more evidence needed
04:38before we could start knocking at the hornet's nest,
04:41if you will.
04:43What we know
04:44and what we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt
04:48are two very different things.
04:51Hey, darling.
04:53Hello.
04:53I talked to the investigator
04:55to find out what they thought
04:56after listening to the evidence.
04:58Yes, but nope.
05:00Oh, my gosh.
05:02Even though the tape was strong,
05:05Sam could deny it.
05:06Wow.
05:08In the meantime,
05:10he's just the cruelest bastard I've ever met.
05:13Yeah.
05:14I was worried for my mom.
05:17At the time,
05:18my mom was at risk
05:20of going to a darker and darker place
05:22because of her firsthand experience
05:25following someone like Sam Bateman.
05:28Never judge,
05:30because I've been there.
05:31I lost everything.
05:32I was scammed,
05:33and I was like,
05:34almost,
05:35I don't know,
05:36not here anymore.
05:37I lost everything
05:38to being,
05:40to not understanding
05:42who to trust
05:43and who not to trust.
05:45Predators have just
05:46always been drawn to her
05:47because she really sees
05:49the best in people.
05:50She sees the best in people
05:52to a fault.
05:54Oh, scary.
05:56I was worried for her,
05:57but I also knew
05:58that she was the only one
05:59who could
06:01actually get him put in jail
06:03and to do that.
06:05that she would have
06:06to go even deeper.
06:11I don't know.
06:11Is that how it's supposed to be?
06:12Is that underneath the collar?
06:14If we put it under the collar,
06:16then it's not seen.
06:18Okay, so,
06:19do you want me to start?
06:20Yeah, yeah.
06:20Okay, once upon a time.
06:23Many, many, many more struggle.
06:27While we were filming,
06:29I was trying to
06:31get to know the girls more
06:32and to understand
06:34the women in Sam's group.
06:37One person out of ten?
06:39Okay, start with your name.
06:41We call her mother Anna.
06:44I changed her name,
06:45but she didn't even get my family.
06:49How did you go up to Sam Hill?
06:51In 2019.
06:52I was 22,
06:53and nobody was getting married,
06:55you know.
06:55Our people weren't having children.
06:57But then my parents
06:58started having children again.
07:00So I felt like
07:02it was the right thing to do.
07:04I couldn't understand that.
07:06Hey, Mother Shani,
07:07we're ready to hear some stuff.
07:10To just have the impression
07:12and go to a man
07:13was like completely
07:14against our traditions.
07:15And yet in my mind,
07:17I wanted to do it
07:17because I wanted a baby
07:18so dang bad.
07:21And Samuel's name,
07:22it came into my mind.
07:24It said,
07:24you belong to him.
07:26This thing in the back of my mind.
07:28No, in the back of my mind,
07:29it was a still, small voice.
07:31It shook you very soon.
07:33Yeah, it was very clear.
07:35You are a part
07:37of the greatest events in history.
07:44I know it's going to sound weird,
07:45but the Spirit of God
07:46tells me to tell you
07:47that there was a power
07:48that linked everything
07:49through the whole universe.
07:50I don't know why
07:51the Lord opened my eyes
07:53to see, but I did.
07:55This is real.
07:56This is a real thing.
07:57Am I wrong?
07:58No, I'm real.
08:00I...
08:02I knew they were putting on a show,
08:04but I didn't know
08:05exactly what was going on
08:07behind the scenes.
08:13Hello, Christine.
08:15Some of the girls were saying
08:16that you wanted to hear
08:17more test songs.
08:18Is that true?
08:20You bet it is.
08:22It's so inspiring to hear them,
08:24and I think it served you well.
08:28I was not permitted
08:29to be alone
08:29with the underage girls.
08:31How are you?
08:31But Sam started sending
08:33his wives over to my house
08:35because he wanted us
08:37to film these storytelling
08:39testimony sessions
08:40for the documentary.
08:43He wanted to capture
08:45how much his girls love him.
08:53Do you guys want to, um,
08:56eat while she's talking?
08:57Just don't burp.
09:01No, are these your wedding rings?
09:03Yeah.
09:05Oh, do you have one?
09:07Travis, I'm married
09:08to the best man in the world.
09:09Aww.
09:10I just want to hear your thoughts
09:11about how you came to know
09:13that you were to be with white.
09:15I knew that the Heavenly Father
09:16wanted me to come be
09:18a part of his family.
09:19This is where I want to be,
09:20so that's why I'm here.
09:22I know that, like,
09:24he is my only connection
09:25to Heavenly Father.
09:26I cannot get to Heavenly Father
09:27without him.
09:29I have to have him.
09:31That's pretty powerful.
09:33Your eternal life
09:34is in his hands?
09:35Yeah.
09:36Had you already told
09:37your mother and father?
09:38My father knew about it
09:41when he called me.
09:42How did you find out?
09:43She came and told me.
09:45There is one man
09:46on this earth I trust,
09:48and that is Samuel Bateman.
09:50Samuel has come
09:51to wake us up
09:52to where we're headed
09:55if we don't obey.
10:02We're going to head now.
10:03Okay, Paul's hands you up.
10:05You've got to sit with us.
10:06Right there.
10:10Does it seem to you
10:10that all those ladies love him?
10:12They don't love him.
10:13I mean, it's like, ugh.
10:15Remember, when you're undercover,
10:17you have to put your,
10:19you have to compartmentalize.
10:22I mean, those girls trust you.
10:24The more important
10:25that he's trusting you,
10:26you know what I mean?
10:27That's, you're going to keep that going.
10:29What do you think about
10:30the mothers of these girls?
10:31The older ones have some problems,
10:33but they deal with it, you know.
10:36Looking at all the girls there
10:37that were Julia's?
10:39Yeah.
10:40All of a sudden,
10:40she has an empty nest
10:42because Samuel has taken
10:44all her daughters.
10:46That's fucked up.
10:48All of those children,
10:50Julia thought she was
10:51going to continue raising.
10:53She didn't expect to lose
10:55at age 10.
10:58You know?
10:59Yeah.
11:00My heart really breaks for her.
11:02For Julia, yeah.
11:04Yeah.
11:06This is such a fictional world.
11:19People didn't just
11:20jump into the situation.
11:23I was just open arms.
11:26My husband, Moroni,
11:28and I had been married
11:29for over 25 years.
11:32And we didn't have
11:34been in communication
11:35with the prophet Warren Jeffs
11:36for many years.
11:39Not having church leadership
11:41just right there
11:42to counsel with,
11:43it was hard.
11:45So I would ask questions
11:46to Moroni.
11:48Nothing worth anything
11:50in this life is easy.
11:52Women are taught
11:54to submit to the men.
11:56And as the father,
11:58he was the ruling power
12:00over our family.
12:01And so when Moroni
12:03started following Sam,
12:04that made me make
12:06that change too.
12:08And so many of my sister-wives
12:10and all of my daughters
12:11went to Sam.
12:13Some people wear those
12:14fancy braids,
12:15but I never learned
12:15how to do them.
12:18I did question the things
12:19we were doing.
12:21But I said,
12:22well, maybe there's
12:23something I'm not
12:24comprehending or understanding,
12:26and if I'll just hang on,
12:27I can better understand it.
12:31Because I felt like
12:32he wouldn't ask me
12:34to do something
12:34that would be harmful
12:35to myself
12:37or destructive
12:38to our family.
12:44So keep this
12:46very, very confidential.
12:48It became clear
12:50that if I wanted
12:51real information,
12:52I would have to talk
12:54to somebody
12:55who was not
12:56under Sam's control.
12:58We have things
12:59to talk about.
13:01Moroni had a son
13:02named Warren Levi
13:03who did not support Sam.
13:05He was very worried
13:08about his mother
13:09and his sisters
13:10and agreed
13:12to secretly meet with me.
13:14Starting in 2019,
13:16Sam married
13:17seven of my sisters,
13:18ranging in age
13:19from 20-ish
13:21down to nine years old.
13:24Married is just
13:25a phrase to say
13:26that Sam currently
13:29can do whatever
13:30he pleases
13:31with the girls.
13:33Did you ever see
13:34Sam kiss?
13:35The underage girls?
13:37Yes.
13:38Oh my goodness.
13:41There was none
13:42of them that went easy
13:43to get married to Sam,
13:45not one of them.
13:47Every one of them
13:48referred to him
13:49as the devil.
13:51I remember
13:52Sam came to me
13:53and he's like,
13:54the Lord has told me
13:55that your little sister
13:56belongs to me.
13:57But I was like,
13:58she's nine years old,
14:00she's not ready
14:01for this mentally,
14:03but we've been taught
14:04to respect our fathers,
14:06don't question.
14:08The girls trust Moroni
14:10and Moroni
14:13is owned by Sam Bateman.
14:21There you go.
14:22I knew the parallel
14:23between every one
14:25of the prophets
14:27and President Samuel
14:29or mainly.
14:30That's powerful stuff.
14:31I started spending
14:32a lot of time
14:32with Sam's male followers,
14:34especially Moroni.
14:36I'm learning from you.
14:37I wanted to understand
14:40why he's convinced
14:41that Sam is speaking
14:43for God.
14:44How do you know
14:45Samuel is the true prophet
14:47of God?
14:48I knew he had
14:49a position before
14:50Heavenly Father
14:51that was above me.
14:52I could tell.
14:54All of a sudden,
14:54Sam fell this and that
14:56and whatever.
14:58Oh, Tolga,
14:58this thing is so deep.
15:01Oh.
15:04About eight months
15:06before Sam named
15:08himself the prophet,
15:10Moroni started doing
15:11his own thinking.
15:13At the time,
15:15no one was supposed
15:16to be getting married,
15:18having babies,
15:20but Moroni started
15:22taking new wives
15:23and having children
15:24without the blessings
15:27of Warren Jeffs.
15:29He was shunned
15:31by the town.
15:34He didn't know
15:35would he ever
15:36be FLDS again.
15:37I mean,
15:38that was his culture,
15:39his life,
15:41long investment.
15:43He felt like
15:44he had really
15:45sinned against God.
15:47We're in a hell
15:48of a fix.
15:49We say we know
15:50the spirit of God,
15:52but I've dabbled.
15:54We're going to get
15:55a shit ripped out of us.
15:57Moroni,
15:58he thinks,
15:59I'm going to hell.
16:02Life is over.
16:05But Sam,
16:07who now represents
16:09himself as speaking
16:10for Warren Jeffs,
16:11starts embracing Moroni.
16:14He's offering a path
16:15to salvation, basically.
16:24Sam was putting him
16:25and his family
16:26up on a pedestal.
16:27Hi, son.
16:30I'm going to hide you.
16:31I know,
16:32but you've got to
16:32catch me first.
16:34All right.
16:35Moroni's like,
16:36I have a second chance.
16:38At that point,
16:40Sam becomes God
16:41to Moroni.
16:42No man chose
16:43Samuel.
16:48God has done it.
16:51Sam had no reservations
16:53now about commanding
16:56that people obey him.
17:02Moroni would take
17:03his money,
17:04give everything to Sam,
17:05and then Sam wanted
17:07more and more and more,
17:09like Moroni's wives
17:10and daughters.
17:27We actually are
17:28borrowing someone's car
17:29so nobody can
17:30recognize her car.
17:32Okay.
17:32Come in and there's a house
17:34with a white pants
17:35all the way around.
17:36Okay.
17:38We'll just sit here quietly.
17:40I was looking
17:41to talk to somebody
17:42that was on the inside
17:44who had to talk
17:45to the girls one-on-one.
17:48Hey, I'm in the black car.
17:49Come on out.
17:51You're putting your beams
17:52in somebody's bedroom.
17:56There was an FLDS lady
17:58who was related
18:00to all of the people
18:02who followed Sam
18:03in one way or another.
18:04She was really concerned
18:05about what was going on.
18:07He has them
18:09so flippin' mixed up
18:10it's not funny.
18:11There are children
18:12being sexually molested.
18:14It just doesn't make sense.
18:15Why does a girl
18:16have to get ruined
18:17before she can get help?
18:18He is a predator.
18:20There's an everything
18:21that they've been taught
18:22and taught in it.
18:24Yeah.
18:25You know,
18:26when he goes
18:26and digs into the scriptures
18:27and he tries to
18:29manipulate things
18:30and twist them
18:31to capture their purity,
18:33and they don't realize.
18:37I'm sorry
18:38they're really okay
18:39to look like
18:40like their job
18:42is a sandwich.
18:43That's why
18:44I have to exert
18:44that positive energy
18:45and not yield away.
18:47You deserve it.
18:50Okay?
18:51Okay.
18:52I'm just here, babe.
18:53Okay.
18:54Thanks.
18:56Naomi,
18:56who we call gnomes,
18:58was always next to Sam.
19:01She only thinks
19:03what he's planted in there.
19:04She doesn't even have
19:07a mind of her own anymore.
19:10She had been harassed
19:11to no end.
19:12And she finally got
19:14to the point
19:14where she was exhausted
19:16and she gave in.
19:17Oh, boy.
19:18Gnomes want said,
19:19I really don't know
19:22how this is gonna end up.
19:24She's seen the battle,
19:26but Gnomes mentally fought.
19:27But I'll ask for him.
19:31So...
19:34My niece Naomi
19:35married Sam.
19:37It was really
19:38heartbreaking
19:39to my sister.
19:42Gnomes.
19:43She was under
19:44a lot of pressure
19:45to go be part
19:46of Sam's family.
19:50You're wife number...
19:51I'm 13.
19:52You're 13.
19:52Wife number 13.
19:56It was Liddell Jr.
19:59who brought her
19:59into the Sam Bateman group.
20:01What's your relation
20:02to Liddell?
20:03He's my cousin.
20:05Oh, he's your cousin.
20:05Yeah, and he was also,
20:07like, my caretaker
20:08for 10 years.
20:11Since Gnomes
20:12was very young,
20:14Ludd took care
20:15of her family.
20:17She really
20:18idolized Ludd.
20:21And when he started
20:22to get in cahoots
20:24with Sam,
20:26he wanted Gnomes
20:28to be a part
20:30of Sam's thing.
20:32Her mom tried
20:34really hard
20:34to talk her out of it.
20:37But Gnomes
20:38respected and loved Ludd.
20:41He's like,
20:41I feel impressed
20:42that you should come out
20:43and listen to Samuel.
20:45Father Samuel,
20:46he said,
20:47Heavenly Father,
20:48impress me to tell you
20:49that you belong
20:50in my family.
20:51And, like,
20:52I went, like,
20:54stone cold.
20:55Like, no way.
20:56There goes my whole life.
20:58There goes everything.
20:59I mean...
21:00Liddell would talk to her,
21:02and he would send her texts.
21:04It took a very long time
21:06to convince her.
21:08It wasn't until, like,
21:09November then
21:10that I actually got married.
21:12Once I had committed,
21:14like,
21:15submitted myself to it
21:17was when Heavenly Father
21:18gave me the courage
21:19and the strength.
21:21She'd been coerced
21:23and kind of manipulated
21:25into it.
21:27I mean,
21:28I was like,
21:28this has to be right.
21:30If it's not right,
21:32what is?
21:32I would like to know.
21:34I've lived my entire life
21:36not knowing
21:37what the right thing is,
21:38and I want to know
21:39what is right.
21:40So,
21:41Naomi,
21:43did you make
21:43a right decision?
21:44I did.
21:47The only thing I regret
21:49is that I didn't go sooner.
21:51That's the only thing
21:52I regret in life.
21:54We groomed our girls
21:55for this.
21:58We're not teaching them
21:59to question authority.
22:00We're not teaching them
22:02to be critical thinkers.
22:04We're teaching them
22:04strict obedience.
22:15What do you think
22:16represents you guys
22:17really well?
22:18Class.
22:19I don't know what you think.
22:22Yeah.
22:22When do you do class next?
22:24I know.
22:26Let's do it.
22:27Sam did a lot
22:29of trainings,
22:31hours and hours
22:32and hours of class,
22:33and they became
22:35more bizarre
22:35by the minute.
22:37Good.
22:38I was just explaining
22:41that goals,
22:42goals are so important.
22:44Write down your goals.
22:45We actually have,
22:46I don't have mine with me,
22:48but we have go-cards.
22:49Pull out your go-cards,
22:50would you?
22:51I'd love to hear
22:52some of your goals.
22:54My goals are
22:55to be the most influential
22:57personal in America.
22:58Okay.
23:00And to govern
23:03North and South America
23:04and probably England.
23:05Okay.
23:08And to bring
23:08the Queen of England
23:09to my home.
23:12And I believe
23:13that that's part
23:14of my mission.
23:17But she's not going
23:18to come with this chicken.
23:20She's just saying.
23:22Wow.
23:23Get up into the house,
23:24would you ever pick?
23:25Ready?
23:27Well, this is what
23:28I've grown up here.
23:30Coming soon!
23:31One of the most beautiful
23:32homes I've ever seen.
23:34And I know it'll happen.
23:36That's beautiful.
23:37Did you get that?
23:37I got it.
23:38Okay.
23:39That was weird.
23:42He's building
23:43this fantasy world
23:46with all these followers.
23:48These are things
23:49we're envisioning
23:49as time goes on.
23:50Things that we...
23:51Some of them
23:52we already have.
23:53Oh!
23:55And then
23:56he also started
23:57putting things
23:58on YouTube.
23:59Hi, Samuel Bateman here.
24:01Hi, Samuel Bateman here.
24:03I want to make
24:04a channel
24:05where I can help
24:06other people
24:06take a step up.
24:07All the extremely
24:09rich people say
24:10is find a mentor.
24:11He was following
24:12these self-help gurus
24:14and he would regurgitate
24:15what he learned.
24:16You know,
24:17your word is your bond
24:18is really how
24:19you should think.
24:19You make that commitment
24:20or say something
24:21to make sure you do it.
24:23I've been talking
24:24every day
24:24in our classes.
24:26Don't think
24:27negative thoughts.
24:28Don't think
24:28that something's
24:29going to go wrong.
24:30It literally
24:31will draw out to you.
24:33Yeah, for sure.
24:35Everything he said
24:36and did,
24:36I had to act like
24:38everything's okay.
24:40We're cool with it.
24:42Surround yourself
24:43with great people.
24:45That's why
24:46I like to be around
24:46today.
24:48Feelings are mutual.
24:51I'm so grateful
24:52for what Christine does.
24:54She just loves people.
24:57She was going over
24:59there a lot.
25:03There were people
25:04who thought that
25:06Christine was there
25:07supporting him
25:08and helping him.
25:10Precious.
25:11Truly a daughter
25:12of the king.
25:14There were a lot
25:15of people
25:16accusing her
25:17of empowering him.
25:19Are you serious?
25:21I couldn't defend myself.
25:23I couldn't come out
25:25with the fact
25:25that I was
25:26playing a role
25:29because my plan,
25:31it was working.
25:34This is recording
25:35and this is recording.
25:37They started
25:39being a little
25:40more loose
25:40with the things
25:41they would say.
25:43Okay,
25:43whoever has the mic.
25:45Forgive me
25:45for asking,
25:46but how did you
25:47get a crash course
25:48in the birds
25:48and the bees
25:49between the time
25:50you got married?
25:52He ended up
25:53telling me
25:53I was innocent as heck.
25:54So Samuel
25:55himself taught you.
25:57How old are you?
25:5915.
26:01There's no such thing
26:03as an underage
26:03married and priesthood.
26:04The Lord can tell
26:06and why would he
26:07hold the 15-year-old
26:09back from the blessings
26:10if she's ready?
26:12They were talking
26:13openly about
26:15the sexual activity
26:16that Sam was doing
26:17with the underage girls.
26:19He had made it seem
26:22so sacred
26:24and like celestial.
26:27I don't know
26:27how else to put it.
26:28And he said
26:29it brings such an increase
26:31like of the spirit of God.
26:33That resulted
26:34in another call
26:35to the police.
26:36Christine is telling
26:37the local police
26:39this is human trafficking.
26:40The local police
26:42said just give us
26:43everything you have
26:44we'll look at it.
26:47They went through it
26:48for months
26:49nothing happens.
26:50We are flying
26:51very close to the sun.
26:53We get no guidance
26:54at all
26:55and I wish
26:56that I could discuss
26:58what our strategy is
27:01with somebody
27:01in law enforcement
27:03and I mean
27:04we're sitting around
27:05shooting from the hip
27:06and I feel so alone.
27:09God, those girls.
27:11I'd be filming something
27:13and there's always
27:16two or three girls
27:17in the back
27:17completely destroyed.
27:20you could just
27:21see them crying.
27:23The law
27:24wants you to basically
27:25get in bed with them
27:27and film it
27:28before the guy's arrested.
27:30I mean
27:30what kind of
27:31fucking shit is that?
27:34It was like
27:35Sam felt like
27:36he had
27:37all authority
27:38to do whatever
27:39he wanted.
27:40I think he felt like
27:41that he was unstoppable.
27:43I don't know
27:43do you feel forced
27:44to be here or anything?
27:45No.
27:47No?
27:48Are you lying?
27:49No?
27:51How do you know
27:51that I'm not
27:52just deceiving you?
27:54Sam was very clever
27:55because he married
27:57some of the mothers
27:59of the child brides
28:02so when
28:03Child and Family Services
28:04interviewed them
28:05he could say
28:06the mothers are here too.
28:08Did you know
28:09that the CPS
28:09had been here
28:10and they didn't find anything?
28:13Of course not.
28:15We're not doing wrong.
28:20I've covered
28:21virtually every
28:23significant
28:24and not so significant
28:25bad guy
28:26in this story.
28:27I don't know
28:28a single
28:28individual
28:29that has set off
28:31more flares
28:32waved more red flags
28:34than Samuel Bateman.
28:36I became acquainted
28:38with Christine
28:39and Tolga
28:40and I knew
28:41what they were doing
28:42but they're not cops.
28:45If that's what law enforcement
28:46needs to bust a case
28:48getting a documentary crew
28:50inside
28:50and they still don't act
28:52with any sense of urgency
29:06This is Sergeant David Wilkinson
29:08with the Colorado City Marshal's office.
29:10Please leave me
29:11a detailed voice message.
29:15There were so many things
29:17that I didn't know.
29:19I didn't know how to proceed
29:20and I was incredibly scared
29:23of what was really happening
29:25in Sam's house.
29:28What is going on
29:29when we're not there?
29:31What abuse could be stopped?
29:37I called Sergeant Wilkinson
29:39a number of times.
29:41Hello, Christine.
29:42Christine Marie
29:43kept feeding us information
29:44that she gathered
29:45and so I was working desperately
29:48to follow up
29:49on each of the pieces
29:50of information
29:51to make sure
29:52that we established
29:53and could support
29:54everything we presented
29:56to a prosecutor
29:57and as some would say
29:58tie it up
30:00in a pretty little bow.
30:02Again,
30:02this is still
30:03a work in progress.
30:05And I let him know
30:07I thought the FBI
30:08should be involved.
30:09He said the FBI
30:11requires, you know,
30:13multi-state criminal activity.
30:15And I said,
30:17well,
30:18we have it.
30:19We went to Colorado.
30:21You did?
30:21We went to Linnea
30:22and Nebraska.
30:23Nebraska.
30:24Why Nebraska?
30:25It went on by.
30:27Oh, Marona, yeah.
30:28Okay.
30:28Got it.
30:29There's Lincoln, Nebraska.
30:30There's Monument, Colorado.
30:32There's Utah and Arizona.
30:34It was interstate
30:36human trafficking.
30:38And eventually,
30:40my pestering
30:41did have a positive effect.
30:45I don't know.
30:46Hello, Christine.
30:47Hi.
30:48Sergeant Wilkinson
30:49called me and said,
30:51I have some news
30:52you're going to like.
30:53We're going to
30:54have a meeting
30:55and we would like you
30:56to do a presentation
30:57on what you know
30:59about the Sam Bateman crew.
31:01So, are you okay
31:02with 2.30
31:03to the FBI field office?
31:06Yes.
31:07You're going to be meeting
31:08with a Don Martin
31:09out of Flagstaff.
31:20I want to video a journal
31:22where we're going right now.
31:25Toga and I
31:26are on the way
31:27to talk to the FBI.
31:31It's complicated
31:32because, like,
31:33two hours ago,
31:34many of these girls
31:35were at my house.
31:38If they know
31:39that I am the one
31:41turning stuff in,
31:44then they will never
31:45trust an outsider again.
31:47Well, this is what you do, baby.
31:48You're trying to stop
31:49child rape.
31:50This is no joke.
31:51I have to speak up.
31:52There's not a choice.
31:53That's what I'm saying.
31:54So, you don't have a choice.
32:08When we went
32:09to the FBI office,
32:10I spoke to
32:12FBI agent
32:14Don Martin.
32:16By the time
32:16this case was presented
32:18to me,
32:18I had been with
32:19the Bureau 18 years.
32:21I had spent
32:21the previous 10 years
32:23working child sex crimes.
32:25This case was brought
32:26to us by local
32:27law enforcement.
32:28They told me
32:29about Christine
32:30and Tolga,
32:31who had lived
32:32in the community
32:33for several years
32:34and had provided
32:35these video recordings.
32:38My understanding
32:39is some of the agencies
32:40had incriminating videos
32:42as early as November
32:44of 21.
32:46I don't know
32:47why it took them
32:47so long
32:48to come to the FBI.
32:50Christine had spent
32:52evidently
32:53many, many months
32:55trying to get somebody
32:56to listen
32:57and to do something.
32:59The first recording
33:01that I heard
33:01was related
33:02to a November
33:03incident
33:04in a Bentley.
33:06There cannot be
33:07anything worse
33:08than another man
33:09screaming.
33:11When somebody
33:12brags about having
33:13young girls
33:13involved in sex acts
33:15with other men,
33:16how can you not
33:17investigate that?
33:19Okay, it's rolling.
33:20Go ahead.
33:20There were 23 wives,
33:23nine of which
33:24were minor children.
33:26I realized that
33:27it needed to be
33:28taken care of
33:29and taken care of
33:30in a more expeditious manner.
33:33I just remember
33:36feeling like
33:37finally somebody
33:39is sharing this burden
33:40with me.
33:45We try not to divulge
33:47names of sources
33:48or confidential informants,
33:49but I will say
33:50that Christine
33:51was in a unique position
33:53to provide information.
33:55Well, I'm going to spend
33:56a lot more time
33:57over there.
33:57That is my goal.
33:58Yeah.
34:00When you start
34:01an investigation,
34:02you do a little bit
34:02of a background check.
34:04And I didn't have
34:05any concerns
34:06working so closely
34:07with them
34:07because they were
34:09providing video evidence
34:11as raw footage.
34:14It was definitely
34:15an unusual set
34:16of circumstances.
34:17Not very often
34:17do you have
34:18somebody willing to
34:20and wanting to be
34:21recorded all of the time,
34:24especially talking about
34:26some of the heinous crimes
34:28that he was committing.
34:30But it is very difficult
34:32to prosecute a case
34:33without someone
34:34to testify
34:35that they were
34:36the victim of a crime.
34:38We did not have that.
34:41I always feel like
34:42it's fire.
34:43I'm here.
34:46Christine was putting
34:47her all into this.
34:49Get him and them.
34:51She was there
34:52every day.
34:54I'm a billionaire.
34:55You are?
34:56Mm-hmm.
34:56Already?
34:57Put the price
34:57on one girl.
34:59The richest man on earth.
35:02I'm having the Lord
35:03bless you with these girls.
35:05I started to drop hints
35:07a little more directly.
35:09Can I make a comment
35:11right here?
35:11Okay, so there's a book
35:13called The Gift of Fear,
35:14and I actually would
35:15recommend you all read it
35:16because it's how to stay
35:17safe from predators.
35:20I ask that because
35:21of my own personal story
35:22because there were
35:23actual things to help
35:24you really spot
35:25people who have
35:26bad intentions.
35:28If somebody ignores
35:30when you say no,
35:34that is a red flag.
35:35That's what I'm saying.
35:36Be bold and blunt.
35:37If you say no,
35:39you mean it.
35:41It's very good
35:41for you guys
35:42to be aware of this.
35:44Somehow we've got
35:45to step up
35:46out of this
35:47immorality.
35:48And if there's
35:49just some way
35:50that I could be
35:50using an instrument
35:51to help step up,
35:52lift your mind
35:53a lot off your spirit.
35:54There's something
35:54better out there.
35:55Yeah.
35:56You're just lusting
35:57after a woman.
35:59I was hoping
36:01that one of the women
36:03would think
36:04for themselves.
36:16And then
36:17I started to notice
36:19Julia coming over
36:21to my house
36:22with her little toddler
36:23visiting the animals.
36:27I was happy
36:28about that
36:28because usually
36:30people who followed
36:30Sam didn't come
36:31over alone.
36:32Well, she came
36:33over more than once.
36:38I even saw her
36:39one time
36:39raking leaves
36:41in my yard.
36:44I realized
36:45she was coming
36:46up with reasons
36:47to come over here.
36:52Bingo.
36:54That's when it hit me.
36:58Julia has something
37:00to tell me.
37:03I mean,
37:04I had been dreaming
37:05of the moment
37:06that somebody
37:07would come to me.
37:11I sensed
37:13that Christine
37:15was making herself available.
37:20I did wonder
37:21if she was the one
37:22I could go to
37:23and ask for this help.
37:25And then I caught myself
37:27and I'm like,
37:27there's no way,
37:28you cannot say this.
37:30I said,
37:31I want you to know
37:32that anything you tell me,
37:34I am not going
37:35to tell Sam.
37:38She starts to tell me
37:39some things.
37:41She was really general.
37:42She let me know
37:45there was a lot
37:46of suffering going on.
37:48But she didn't come out
37:50and say anything negative
37:51about Sam.
37:53I thought,
37:54I know exactly
37:56what to do.
37:57And I decided
37:58it was time
37:59that I tell her
38:00my story.
38:05We went in
38:06on her kitchen table
38:08and she got out
38:10a file box.
38:11So look at this.
38:14And she started
38:16to tell me a story.
38:20She started to tell
38:21how her mind
38:22was led
38:24deceitfully
38:24little by little
38:26by a false prophet
38:28to do things
38:30that she had
38:31never done
38:32ever.
38:34I too
38:35had been deceived.
38:36I believed
38:38that I was
38:39the wife
38:40of a prophet.
38:42My false prophet
38:44told me
38:45obedience
38:45is everything.
38:48Obedience
38:49is the key
38:50to eternal life.
38:58He told me
38:59I needed
39:00to go through tests.
39:01It started
39:03in small steps.
39:05I had to
39:06sell
39:07things
39:08that were
39:08very precious
39:09to me.
39:13I complied.
39:15I had already
39:16sacrificed
39:17my business.
39:18And then
39:21he told me
39:22I had to
39:23be separated
39:25from my children.
39:26Then I had
39:28to go
39:29live among
39:30the poor and needy
39:31and be
39:32and be
39:32abased
39:33before men.
39:41I believed
39:42that there
39:43would be
39:44eventually
39:45a divine
39:46payoff.
39:49And that
39:50meant I had
39:50to do what he
39:51said or risk
39:52my soul.
39:55I was
39:56basically
39:56sex trafficked.
39:59One of his
40:01directions was
40:02that he wanted
40:04proof that I
40:05was being sexually
40:06exploited.
40:07So
40:10somebody,
40:11a man,
40:12took a picture
40:13of me.
40:15Little by little,
40:17with each test
40:18and each rebuke,
40:20I got more confused.
40:22I couldn't even
40:23recognize myself.
40:27He said I had
40:28to go through
40:29tests first
40:29to be worthy
40:31of being the
40:31prophet's wife.
40:32This whole
40:33underlines
40:34heart-waking.
40:36Does that
40:36remind you,
40:37Samuel?
40:39Yeah.
40:41A lot of it does.
40:44It's disgusting.
40:47And I just
40:48broke down.
40:50And I started
40:51to just say
40:55we are
40:56in deep
40:56trouble
40:56with sexual
40:57sins
40:59under this
41:02false
41:03idea
41:03of religion.
41:06And I knew
41:07that to get
41:08help,
41:10I needed
41:11to reveal
41:11to this woman
41:12the sickening
41:13things I've
41:15done
41:15and been
41:16a part of.
