Preacher Tony Alamo Told to Return Wife’s Remains
He’s a convicted tax evader and a flamboyant evangelist who once ran what authorities called a multimillion-dollar, Saugus-based cult. Now Tony Alamo is also a grave robber–at least in the eyes of an Arkansas judge, who has ordered him to lay to rest his wife’s missing 13-year-old corpse.
“It’s putting closure to it, finally,” said Alamo’s stepdaughter, Christhiaon Coie of Reseda, who sued Alamo literally over her mother’s dead body and for whom the legal decision represents a symbolic burial of her mother’s and her tortured past.

Since Tony Alamo began practicing polygamy and including young girls as his new brides, he has maintained the same defense on the issue of the right to marry children. He justifies the marrying of children by defining any young girl who has begun menstruating as being of child bearing age, therefore they are women and of marriageable age. To those of us who have daughters who are 8, 9 and 10 years of age and in the early stages of puberty, this explanation is an outrage and meant to justify his perverse desire to be intimate with children.
