I think this is probably the hardest hitting article ever published on The Family in the mainstream press.

A couple of very interesting points:

1. The murdered woman, Smith, had a connection to Karen Zerby's parents, who we have always thought of as neutral:

"In Tucson, his grandparents and another aunt and uncle operate and live at a home for the elderly. They declined to speak with a reporter Tuesday. A federal tax form for the nonprofit home - available on www.guidestar.com, a database of nonprofit organizations - shows Smith was a board member."


2. The article makes a clear connection between The Family and The Family Care Foundation:

"Smith also is listed as a director of Family Care Foundation, an arm of The Family responsible for humanitarian missions and fund raising."
