On March 30, he was visited by Merlin Jeffs, according to jail logs provided by Mohave (Ariz.) County Attorney Matt Smith. On April 2, a day before a massive raid on the YFZ Ranch began, he was visited by Patricia Keate.

Both Keate and Merlin Jeffs listed the Eldorado, Tex., compound as their residence, Smith said.

Jeffs, 52, has been convicted of two counts of rape as an accomplice in Utah based on a marriage he conducted between a 14-year-old girl and her 19-year-old cousin in 2001. He is in jail in Arizona awaiting trial on similar charges.

Jeffs also has had recent visits from Naomi Jeffs, one of his wives, who listed a Hildale address. She visited him on April 2 and again two days later - the second day of the raid.

Naomi Jeffs and one of Jeffs' brothers were traveling with the sect leader when he was arrested on the Utah charges near Las Vegas in 2006.

Jeffs became president of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in 2002, traditionally based in Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz.
