Where's Warren?

It sounds like the set-up to a really great joke:
"So a fugitive polygamous leader goes into Cabella's for fishing gear..."
Strange as it sounds, the FBI is investigating several reported sightings of Warren Jeffs. KSL NewsRadio broke this story on Utah's Afternoon News on Friday, when authorities first began getting phone calls from people claiming to have seen him in Cabella's. Two cars left the scene and authorities put out an alert to keep an eye out. I raced down my list of contacts, quickly trying to confirm if authorities were taking it seriously. I even interrupted a poor FBI agent's steak dinner, persuading him to join us live on the air with the latest developments!
Today, the FBI revealed more sightings. Agents confirmed to KSL NewsRadio the same group seen at Cabella's was spotted Sunday at Strawberry Reservoir, apparently fishing! You can hear my story on that by clicking here. I raced downtown to the FBI's offices to get the story. I rushed to get it on the air in time for the Doug Wright Show.
Agents confirm they have corroborating evidence that leads them to believe there is some validity to the reported sightings at Cabella's and Strawberry Reservoir. The FBI appears to be getting more and more confident that it really is the FLDS Church leader. However, they are doubting the validity of a reported sighting at a grocery store in Riverton.
Authorities say they're still looking for the cars, a white GMC Yukon with Nevada license plate 253 SUS and a black Ford truck with a cab, Utah license plate 344 VNS. The questions that remain are if it really is Warren Jeffs, why is he surfacing where he is? And where will he show up next? Stay tuned...
