Just saw this too. Comments talked about Colorado City, the one founded by FDLS' Warren Jeffs -- but I found a city founded by a group that splintered off from Jeffs' group in the 1980s: Centennial City, Arizona.
The Centennial Park group was profiled on the ABC television program Primetime in a story entitled "The Outsiders", and also on The Oprah Winfrey Network's Our America with Lisa Ling.
OH Thank You! This is amazing. I was shaking as I was posting it. I am going to dig too. I will use your link as a Start. Remember that Lisa Ling was in NK and was rescued by Bill Clinton and I think was it Steve Bing on his airplane and her picture was also on CPP Instagram with another woman and a little girl. Oprah is for sure hooked up with all this. Her and Gail. Yikes!
It is an off shoot of the FDLS Members that left and started their own group so it is still connected but not quite. There bylaws are similar to the Mormons but I think there are "secret bylaws" about pedophilia. Of course they will not be listed. If we can find a Board of Directors that would be good. But I saw there is not a name listed on the site. I will keep checking. I will not stop. This is where they sent Weinstein and some of the others. No wonder.

I was wondering about this -- think I (so far) agree with some CDANers that the rehab facility might not be in the actual city. Could be the Meadows in Wickenburg -- and from there child rapists could be easily flown north to the city... #justatheory
Ya! I saw! Excellent finds!! The blind item does mention a city in the northern part of the state, though -- and Wickenburg is still central -- and it's also not known, I don't think, as a FLDS city.
Plus, Wickenburg and Centennial Park/Colorado City do both have airports. I'm just looking at Wickenburg's now because there are a few curiosities about it.

Apparently Lisa Ling did a documentary on the city for Oprah's channel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centennial_Park_group:
Here's the wiki on the City itself, citing a median age of 15!: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centennial_Park,_Arizona
Back to digging... Here's a creepy photo page from their blog: http://centennialparkaz.com/people/
O, yeah, and there's this: The initials of the city are CP.
(Edited to clarify Warren Jeffs' as founder of Colorado City -- and add note about CP)

Ya. Ling's name jumped right off the page at me.
I can't find anything about the town itself -- to see if any new churches/non-profits have been established there -- any ideas?
