Hearing delayed for suspected ‘Sarah’, aka Rosita Swinton
By joshuah | June 6, 2008
A court hearing was delayed at the last-minute for the woman considered a “person of interest” in the phone call that sparked the massive raid on the Fundamentalist LDS Church’s YFZ Ranch.Rozita Swinton, 33, was scheduled to appear in an El Paso County courtroom on Friday for a pre-trial hearing on a misdemeanor charge of making a false report to police. The hearing was postponed at the request of her defense attorney.
“He asked for a continuance due to the amount of discovery in this case,” said prosecutor Frederick Stein. “I did not object to the defense request because the discovery is very lengthy.”
Swinton’s next court appearance is scheduled for July 9.
She is accused in a local case of a phony abuse call where she pretended to be a girl named “Dana,” who claimed to have been locked in a basement, drugged and sexually abused by her father. The call had dozens of Colorado Springs police officers going door-to-door through a neighborhood, searching for the girl.

I thought you might like to know that “Kate Rosemary” who has been supplying us with most of the background information on Rozita has been identified as “Mary Catharine Nelson” and she has a strong financial interest in managing Rozita’s story. She authored the two books she has publicized in connection with Rozita and she is Vice President it now turns out, of the publishing company that PUBLISHED those books. Most of what we know as it turns out, is from a woman who stands to profit greatly from her relationship with Rozita. She has, by the way, made agreements with Rozita’s attorney to “not talk about the story.”
