Special Report: Where is Elintra?
Published at
RIGBY — Elintra Fischer has been missing for nearly four months.
The 16-year-old left her Monteview home on New Year’s Day in her mother’s Honda Civic. The car was later found at a gas station with a letter Elintra wrote but there has been no sign of her anywhere.
Elizabeth Roundy, Elintra’s mother, believes her daughter is with members of the FLDS Church. Roundy, her children and her ex-husband were members of the church but the mother has since left the religion.
Roundy participated in a news conference this week in Southern Utah where she joined other families in similar situations. They want their loved ones back and their children found.
EastIdahoNews.com reporter Nate Eaton spoke with Roundy, Tonia Tewell and Roger Hoole. Hoole is a Utah-based attorney who has helped hundreds of people who have fled or been kicked out of polygamy. Tewell is the Executive Director of Holding Out HELP, an organization focused on providing care to people coming from a polygamous background.
