Eldorado Sect Has Branch in South Dakota

The polygamous sect currently under investigation in Eldorado, Texas, has a sister compound in Pringle, SD—and it's making locals queasy, USA Today reports. The Pringle compound was started by the same leader in 2003, and is valued over $4.5 million. "They don't just open their doors," says the local sheriff, adding that there have been no abuse allegations. "It's a locked-down operation."

"People say if (polygamy) is happening down there, it's happening up here," Custer County Sheriff Rick Wheeler said, but "it's like anybody's residence. We have to have probable cause to go in." (More polygamy stories.)
