    Barlow was located in Arizona on April 9 and denied the allegations, claiming that he had not been to Texas since 1977. Authorities said that he is unlikely to be the man sought in the case, as he has been under Arizona Parole Department supervision since August 17, 2007. Attorneys for the religious sect claim that the 16-year-old girl is fictitious, and no person with her reported name resided at the compound.FOX News: Investigators Drop Warrant Against Dale Barlow (May 2, 2008)
