Known as oxytocin (not to be confused with the painkiller OxyContin), the naturally occurring hormone is best known for controlling contractions during labor, but it also plays a key role in other fundamental human urges - including the desire to connect with others. "Somehow, the peptide increases trust, or alters the way individuals see each other," says Tom Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental Health...
...Brower, a private investigator who works for a Salt Lake City law firm representing several former FLDS clients who are suing Jeffs and the trust that holds much of the community's property, said most of the members of Jeffs' leadership team - the most likely pool for a new FLDS Prophet - "are in the wind," transient and hard to find.
