Lorraine Jessop's three youngest children – Nathan, Summer, and Benjamin – have been missing since Feb. 4, 2023. According to court documents, they ran away.
But Jessop doesn't believe it's that simple, nor does she believe her children's disappearance is an isolated incident. She is an ex-member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), the polygamist breakaway offshoot of Mormonism. And there are three other mothers whose children have also disappeared – eight children in total, one as young as 12.
"I feel like that either someone took it upon themself or were told by church authorities to gather up these children," Jessop said to ABC News in an interview for "Impact x Nightline" now streaming on Hulu.
