IT'S OFFICIAL: FAKE TIPSTER WAS AN OBAMA DELEGATE

Confirmation on the story of the alleged Obama delegate who pretended to be an abused child so the police would raid a church that she did not agree with. It's alleged no more...

Plenty is known about who Rozita Swinton is not.

She is not a teenage girl who bore her father's child and wanted to kill herself in Castle Rock. She is not an injured child trapped in a Colorado Springs basement. And she was never a sexually abused teen bride trapped in a polygamist compound in Arizona or Texas.

Who she is,though, is not so clear. A 33-year-old woman with a reasonably clean criminalhistory, Swinton has been active in politics and once sold insurance.

Yet in secret she was someone who could play the part of an anguished child with chilling authenticity. She is a person with either finely honed investigative skills or inside information into the secret details of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. And she's someone smart enough to know just how much information to give police to keep them searching - and how multiple cell phones reduced the odds of getting caught.

After the El Paso County Democratic caucuses and convention, she was named one of the 360 delegates to the state convention at the World Arena on May 17, chosen to support Barack Obama.

Kelly Seaman, a 911 supervisor for the Colorado Springs Police Department, said that more than 10 911 calls from at least three cell phones have been linked to Swinton in recent years. One of those calls also involved Arapahoe County.

Seaman said Swinton would give a little bit of information and then hang up. When dispatchers tried to get back in touch, the cell phone would be turned off. Swinton might then give a piece of information to another agency, or call dispatchers back to give a little more. She would play the part of a scared, crying girl. The calls went well beyond a typical prank, said police spokesman Lt. Skip Arms.

And these are the people knocking on doors for Obama.
