Th worker ''advised that she worked at the Snohomish County Shelter for Battered Women where she had been in telephone contact with Sarah Barlow. Sarah Barlow advised Woodward that her husband, Dale Barlow, was living at 13031 8th Avenue West in Everett, Washington. An Internet search revealed that the location was for the Cobble Hill Apartments in Everett, Washington.
''Sarah Barlow advised (the worker) that she married Dale Barlow when she was fourteen (14) years old and was Dale Barlow's third wife. Sarah Barlow advised she had been moved to the YFZ Ranch approximately three weeks ago and was assigned to a new husband named ''Merrill.'' Sarah Barlow also advised she had just been moved from the YFZ Ranch in the last few days and was not sure where she was.
''Sarah Barlow was fearful of revealing her true identity to anyone for fear that the ''sisterwives'' had told her that her baby would be taken away. Sarah Barlow had also told Woodward that the ''sisterwives'' had told her to claim she was their daughter and not a wife of ''Merrill's.'' The worker stated that Sarah Barlow had spoken in Biblical terms.
''Having been involved in the recent investigation into the allegations at the YFZ Ranch in Texas, Ranger Kemp was aware that the terms ''sisterwives'' and being ''assigned'' to a new husband were common terminology used by the women from the YFZ Ranch in referring to fellow wives of the men and also that women were reassigned to different husbands for various reasons in the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints religion. The worker was reluctant to provide the information for fear of repercussions.

The caller could know the terms "sisterwives" and be "assigned" from being on the ranch.
Or she could have known them from watching Big Love on HBO.
