UTAH – Police, family and friends are searching Monday for 29-year-old Briell Decker, daughter of author and anti-polygamy activist Kristyn Decker. Briell Decker was last seen at her Holladay home late Saturday night.
Prior to her disappearance, the missing woman had recently changed medications prescribed for bipolar disorder, her mother said.
