Missing Case #2: Religion FLDS and the FLDS Church- The Missing Barlow & Fischer Children

Hey, Searchers,

Today’s case of The Missing Children Project is about the religion FLDS, the FLDS church, and a few missing children associated with it. Elintra Fischer and Nathan Barlow, both sixteen years old, Summer Barlow, fourteen years old, and Benjamin Barlow, twelve years old at the time of their disappearances, have not been found since January 1st and February 4th, 2023. The children went missing in Monteview, Idaho, and Cedar City, Utah. We chose this case because even though the church’s prophet, Warren Jeffs, is behind bars serving a life sentence, the ripple effect of his actions continues today.

Please note: It’s essential to understand that the FLDS church, The Fellowship of Latter Day Saints, is not directly linked to the Mormon Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

According to CedarCityUtah.com, up to 17 children associated with the FLDS church went missing, with six of them successfully found. But, in the case of Elintra, Nathan, Summer, and Benjamin, they have yet to come home.

This case is super complex. So, buckle up and listen closely. We want these children to be found safe and to go home to their mothers and other family members.
